I stopped contributing to Stylus regularly after the year-end roundup stuff a few months ago, mainly because the only thing I was really into doing there was long-winded album reviews with generous wordcount constraints, and I had a lot less time and motivation to do those once I got a 9-5 and a weekly writing workload with the City Paper site gig. But last week William B. Swygart put out the call for more folks to help out with the Stylus Jukebox and I obliged, since it's something I'd always been vaguely interested in participating in. When I read it, I usually find myself vehemently disagreeing with everyone's opinion, so it's nice to get in there and try and drag down the average score or boost it up when I think it needs it. This is what I've blurbed that's run so far, with my scores compared to the averages:
Fabolous ft. Young Jeezy - Diamonds [4/5.4]
D.G. Yola - I Ain’t Gon’ Let Up [8/7.25]
Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill [4/7]
Crime Mob ft. Lil Scrappy - Rock Yo Hips [5/7]
Mike Jones ft. Bun-B & Snoop Dogg - My 6-4 [7/6.8]
