We don't know if it's a conscious thing, but Murfreesboro
rapper Mac Tha Knife--a.k.a. Mickey Blades--likes to mention that he was
born in 1988. Besides making us feel, well, old, this makes us think that
it's not some sorta cosmic coincidence that he was born the same year that
Marley Marl released "The Symphony", a.k.a. "The Greatest Rap Record Ever
Put to Wax." Mac shows a very natural grasp on the fundamentals of Golden
Age rap styles from "fast rapping" to Masta Ace's off beat-on beat style on
his 2007 mixtape The Great American Paper Chase and his upcoming EP The
8-Track is on a fast track for our year-end top ten list
