Fantastic performance of one of my favorite songs on a record I really like.

Can't touch this, though.

I dont like this new song too much, it feels like he's speaking past tense about the city. The retro style/touristy chorus reminds me of and old tv ad for NY.
so its hard to move a city forward (which i need in NY hip hop) while speakin bout it in a retro bubble.

i'm glad you posted the link to "welcome to New york city"
I AGREE , it is a much better recent NY anthem.

I feel it was an empowering hip hop song that boosted the city, instead of just boasting bout it.

nice post! keep it up,

All that said, your Podthinker now believes it's high time to curb the production of TTWGBACs. Though halting the tidal wave is clearly a pipe dream, perhaps it can be slowed somewhat. We've got enough of these things. Thus, he hereby calls a moratorium on the coverage of TTWGBACS in Podthoughts, at least until it feels right to resume it. In the meantime, can any readers recommend a good philately podcast? Any good podcasts about philately?
