Behold, one of my life's great achievements

One of the most important duties of a public intellectual is to receive awards.

You'll recall that a few weeks ago, I was crowned the best hip-hop blogger evar by the magazine Hip Hop Connection. It's one of the first major awards I've received since being crowned, in a poll, the leading black public intellectual. But I couldn't post the article here, because it wasn't available on the Internets, and all I had were some scans of it sent to me by Akuma.

Well finally, the full text of the 2008 Hip-Hop Blog World Cup article has been posted on the Internets, over at Fat Lace Magazine. Finally, Melissa Perfect Calmness can bask in one of my life's great achievements. That is, if she hasn't already bought a copy in print, framed it, and put it up on the wall over her bed.
