I got the idea for a new segment for the blog when I fell down an internet rabbit hole and ended up on GQ’s website. They have an interesting feature where they ask people what are some of the things that are essential for getting them through life. Since it’s GQ and they are often talking to celebrities, most of the things that they mention are expensive as hell. I figured, why not try to see what gets people like you and I through life. If I'm going to do this I might as well start with myself. So here goes nothing.
8 Essentials:
1. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
The only bad thing about Fridays is that there’s no Jon Stewart on my television. I really wish they would have episodes on Fridays. The Daily Show is the only thing on television I can always depend on to make me laugh on a weekly basis..
2. A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
This album is the most influential piece of media on my life, ever. It’s the only album I remember the exact place I first heard it. I didn’t really care about music at all until I heard this. Midnight Marauders and Illmatic are still the only two perfect Hip-Hop albums, I've ever heard. There's not a single bad or skippable song on either. Also, you can click on the pic to enlarge the album cover to get a better look at the faces on the cover. You should checkout Egotrip's oral history for the making of the iconic cover.
