This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we're taking it back to the final months of 2005 -- the Xbox 360 was launching, the world was tired of George W. Bush, 50 and G-Unit reached the peak of their chokehold on Hip Hop, and I, very briefly, was semi-competent at math. A prelude to a strange year, the final four months of '05 had a lot of great music that I still enjoy, and man, to watch a fresh episode of X-Play again... c'est la vie.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
