I'm thankful for...
![][1]This is what I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving: That NPR's "All Things Considered" reviewed the new Jay-Z album today -- and gave it a lukewarm reception.[Apparently Oliver Wang thought Jayhova's rhymes about his stock portfolio][2] weren't as compelling as his earlier material, when he was fighting for respect and riches.So the bottom line is this: NPR has panned a rap artist for not keepin' it real.Something about that makes me all giggly.

I heart Oliver Wang.
He gives intelligent, thoughtful, and truthful rap/hip hop reviews.
