The 10th installment of I Used to Love H.E.R., a series in which artists/bloggers/writers discuss their most essential or favorite hip-hop albums (read intro), is unlike any contribution I’ve received so far; frankly, I was blown away by the idea. It comes from Tim Fite, a folk-rock eccentric whose new album Over the Counter Culture (Epitaph), a sharp-witted hip-hop satire, will be available as a free download on his Web site on Feb. 20. (See previous post.)
