Christmas rap tends to begin and end with "Christmas in Hollis," but the
endless referentiality of Christmas music is actually perfect for hip hop, so
there really should be more of it. Lately, the only artists with the guts to
drop Christmas albums have been one-hit wonder Afroman (Colt 45 Christmas)
and Dipset impresario Jim Jones. Of the two, Jones is unsurprisingly far
superior: he makes an honest attempt to filter Christmas sentimentality
through his loaded-up gangster persona, and a couple of these are downright
touching. Not everything needs to be traditional this time of year.Jim Jones
