| Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five | The Message | N/A | 2010/02/21 | This song epitomizes the simultaneously celebratory, yet socially conscious nature of hip-hop. Seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks perform it shows how far the mainstream has allowed that image to fall. |

| Eric B. & Rakim | Paid In Full | N/A | 2010/01/27 | How many people have ripped off Rakim? He simply said everything that needed to be said about the criminal rapper. Rakim the O.G. for president. |

| The Raconteurs | You Don't Understand Me | N/A | 2009/12/30 | Jack White's been a busy boy the past few years... The Raconteurs are no half-baked side project. |
| Radiohead | Jigsaw Falling Into Place | N/A | 2009/12/23 | More than any other band of the past decade, Radiohead have perfected their sound w/o a doubt. |
| Jazz Liberatorz | Ease My Mind(ft. Troy Hudson, Fat Lip & Omni) | N/A | 2009/12/09 | Clin O'Diel is just a great meeting of musical minds, check it out. |
| Jurassic 5 | Concrete Schoolyard | N/A | 2009/12/02 | Jimbo's favorite J-5 song ever. That's enough for me. |

| Untitled Track 16 | Dert | N/A | 2009/11/11 | I still can't believe that Squid & the Whale sample in the last track. I dig the Jessie Eisenberg shout out. |
| Untitled Track 15 | Dert | N/A | 2009/11/11 | This is an incredible interpretation of Pink Floyd's Dark Side... |
