Deen’s #11, 12, 13, 14 & 15 is Dylan. I imagine that if you read this site or anything even remotely connected to the rap internets on a regular basis you’re aware of the fact that MTV dropped their 8th annual “Hottest” “MCs” in the game list. Obviously, folks have had an issue with this… Continue reading »
In response to the Big Sean-strangled deliberations of the MTV cabal, a separate Illuminati formed to create their own “Top 10 Rappers in the Game.” Note the semantic difference. The idea was to pick the Top 10 rappers, not the ten hottest, not the most pop-savvy, not the most commercially relevant. I interpreted it as… Continue reading »

And yes, it is… Continue reading »
Rap and slang are as inextricable as Rush Limbaugh and dittoheads; cholula and antacids. Slang is regional and national, different lexicons in almost every county. As “Blue Mamba,” Trey Kirby suggested, you could listen to Cash Money 1998-2002 and come up with a hundred of these. We gathered a crack team of rap mimes to… Continue reading »

20. Future – Pluto [Epic] Pluto is the rare 21st Century Atlanta Rap album that is an album in the classic sense of the word. It’s an experience, an etched aesthetic that demands end to end listens, and you may find yourself scrolling back to Big Rube immediately upon completion.

Fuck Hotness. It’s a stupid arbitrary idea and worse adjective—a word best left to Paris Hilton, Al Roker, and Mims. It is the province of US Weekly and planned obsolescence, of web 1.0 ephemera and South Korean boy bands. But hip-hop has the word “hip” in it. So hotness has been paramount since “swag” was… Continue reading »
