“Beneath the Underdog” focuses on R&B, soul, jazz and electronica from a leftist, decidedly grown-ass man’s perspective. If you’re hoping for giddy unwarranted praise for the shenanigans of Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Lil Kim, or Soulja Boy – this ain’t for you. Trust me, if Soulja Boy or R. Kelly for that matter, happens to get blog space on “Beneath the Underdog,” I’m probably dogging them for doing some stupid-ass sh*t. That said, those whack drug/booze binges by Amy Winehouse and cracked-out ruminations from Lauryn Hill will be equally, if not more, scorned.

p.s. Hottest quote of the year: “Obama is the new De La Soul” from ?uestlove.
