The Wire
After the disappointing end of The Sopranos, my wife and I have gotten hooked like heroin on The Wire. Through the grace of Netflix, we have been averaging about a season a week. Straight up, this is the dopest show on TV. Season One's inside view into the drug game, and the hard drinking cops who pursue it. The shit has everything, humor, pathos, and action, this is my new favorite show. We are almost done with Season Two, which has upped the ante with its frightening look into the art of smuggling.
Top Chef
Am I wack for being hooked on this? I can't really tell you what I like about it, maybe Salman Rushdie's wife is why.
The Roots
I have listened to these guys since high school, but in the past few weeks, I have gotten hooked again. By far the most talented group in hiphop, after listening to jazz music I have developed a finer ear for small intricacies in music. There is dope shit all over all their all their albums, and they keep doing it. I am not saying anything that hasn't all ready been said, but they are mindblowing. Black Thought is my new favorite mc, check this verse of Things Fall Apart:
