We talk a lot about nostalgia, but rarely when it comes to the world of hip hop. Aside from our features on Lord Willin and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” we have been admittedly lacking in our celebration of legendary releases in hip hop. This morning, however, a headline hit me in the face with all the power the reminder of how old you are possibly can.

December 3rd, 2012 Grant Trimboli Wow, I had to pull myself away from tears from listening to DMX’s gangster version of the holiday classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”. DMX’s video is undoubtedly the best thing to happen to the internet this morning.
