PHH's End Of The Year Wrap Up 2009
Well, there it went ladies and gents....another year gone here at PHH and in the world of Hip-Hop as a whole...
It's been 3 years since I started this spot for all the serious heads out there and at the end of every December I try to run down a few "lists" for all of you highlighting my choice picks for all the shit I've thrown up (or neglected to) during the past year.
You can get into my much deliberated picks in a second, but before we do that I wanna just take a moment and say thank you...See, BIG D O hasn't exactly enjoyed what you would call an ideal past 3 years in his personal life...One of the few things that has kept me going strong is being able to write and express daily my thoughts and opinions about the culture I love. All the interest some of you show my efforts on here is dully noted and heavily valued...
I consider myself lucky to have gotten some of you bright folks to even occasionally glance at PHH throughout 09'. So, to the random anonymous comment makers, to my regulars and even all the cats that are actually in the industry doin' the damn thing that swooped by, from the bottom of my heart I appreciate you taking the time. Whatever you may be celebrating in the coming days, be it Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Misa de Aguinaldo, Dōngzhi, the New Year, or nothing at all, be well and take care of yaselves...
Peace and Love,
-BIG D O
