Sorry Internets.
It’s been awhile since I’ve last posted, these are the woes of a “one-writer” site. As of late I’ve been doing much more then I was previously; I thought I’d be able to manage my schedule but more recently I’ve been working, as a result this site has taken a hit. However, don’t take that as my excuse for neglecting LostMoniker.com, there shouldn’t be one. I’m intending to post this month, and am posting this mainly to inform you that this won’t be another “Blog” that has drifted through the internet search pages as a site that “once was”. So please keep checking back (all two of you!), I will most definitely have new posts soon!

For the people who don’t know, I also record and make my own music. In favour of one of my favorite times of the year, “Halloween” I’ve recorded a track called “The Room”. It’s about me being trapped inside my room, and while I’m stuck in it Ghosts are torturing me. The beat was created by the genius producer: “Tha Remedy“. You can download or stream the FREE MP3 from one of the links below:

Necro, one of Hip-Hop's most popular Horrorcore artists.
Throughout all of the rap sub-genres, I will be the first to admit that Horrorcore isn’t my favorite. However, there are still quite a few “Horrorcore” tracks that I’ve enjoyed. Considering this wonderful Halloween season, I felt it would be of good taste to compile a Top Ten list relating to it. As always, be sure to share your favorite Horrorcore tracks in the comments section below!

Yes, I know I know. My updates haven’t been as consistent as the first two weeks; keep in mind It’s my personal goal to make sure I have made ATLEAST three proper posts happen each week. So for those who are curious if it’s becoming slow, worry not as I’m making sure the site prospers with content! For those nay-sayers, I can only write so much before my ability becomes exhausted, so I feel three articles or more is suitable. Also, chances are not everyone’s read the current articles posted up here so take some time to view one you haven’t read; if you’re a Hip Hop head they’re sure to pleas e and make sure you comment as well!
Check back tomorrow - or keep reading some of the current articles - a new “Through The Telescope” article is going to be posted!

"The real... Hip-hop!" "MCing, and DJing.. from your own mind, ya know?"
I’ve listened to hundreds of Hip-Hop albums, of course encountering my fair share of great albums and to a similar degree, some god-awful ones. There are albums that I constantly come back to, generally because their lyrics - and to a lesser sense - production are top notch. While this piece is more opinionated then my prior articles, I’m treating this as a “personal” listing and not an “end all be all” list, and using it as a chance to recommend some classic albums for people who haven’t already encountered them.

Keep in mind, while I may or may not address the comments posted, I will be reading them all and take suggestions into consideration. Also, I will have a sort of “comment of the week” section highlighting unique responses or intelligent discussion, however only once I see that I have a steady amount of readers (which it seems like I’m currently building up) and decent amount of comments.
I also want to say thanks for the current viewers and people commenting, I highly encourage the posting and appreciate the suggestions and compliments made by everyone!
EDIT: One more thing I’d like to address is that I’ve noticed people giving me blind looks in terms of how to comment. It’s not that hard - I think the confusion is over the email column - just make sure you have all categories filled (with the exception of the website, that’s optional) and your email address sort of acts as your unique identity, as it is not made public.

UPDATE:
We’ve tried out some different templates, and the one you’re currently viewing is the one we will use for the time being, until we can put together our super-genius design.
At the moment the layout is quite lacking, and I apologize; so that means you’ll have to succumb to reading my posts - and dare I say it - in a bland atmosphere. However we are currently working at creating a GENIUS design, so keep looking back. For now though, you’ll just have to enjoy the content for what it is :).

Welcome, I am Daniel Masri (aka Lost Moniker) and this is my very own Hip Hop blog. Now, I know the term “Hip Hop Blog” isn’t something new to the internet due the prominence of Hip Hop and the digital age, however I intend to take a different approach. You’re probably wondering: “What does he mean by a different approach? Isn’t he just going to talk about news?”, well yes and no. While modern mainstream Hip Hop strives on the ideals of negative images and offering a lifestyle that less then ninety-percent of us will ever live, I think I can offer that ‘third pillar’ approach when looking at the culture.
As an artist and a fan, I have a deep rooted passion for Hip Hop. It’s what I grew up with and looked to at my hardest times and stayed with in my happiest moments. Now, I’m not trying to make this site look like a “anti-mainstream” site, because I think this quote is applicable to how I judge things: “Good music, is good music”. What I’m trying to do is offer alternate insight to the Hip Hop culture as a whole, and look at it from it’s roots, not it’s sales charts.
So I hope you enjoy your (hopefully frequent) visits here, and take time to comment on the various articles that will be posted up.
