Jonah Bromwich knows Herbert Hoover. The real Herbert Hoover. It’s safe to say that no one really thinks that Mike Tyson is still cool. So when Rick Ross, liver of the most exquisite of lifestyles and all-around ambawseador includes a quote from Iron Mike about a change in priorities at the start of his new… Continue reading »
Jonah Bromwich only fears Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god. Rick Ross shows up on the penultimate song of Pusha T’s new album, Fear of God II. His presence underscores an important distinction between Pusha and the round mound of lavish sound. You see, we all know Rick Ross never really dealt drugs. Now Rozay has… Continue reading »
Evan Nabavian does not believe that Lil Twist is the Shyheim of Young Money. Boss that he is, Rick Ross knew when assembling his team of future bosses that Maybach Music Group needed a lady boss for massive crossover boss appeal. Murder Inc. had Ashanti, G-Unit had Olivia, and even Game had a hook-singing sweetheart… Continue reading »
The “Hood Gone Love It” remix has been getting heavy rotation outside the hood – at least on a Friday in July. Jay Rock exists in an endearing state of aggression. Birdman raps like he fathered Lil B’s style, which he did. And there is the Officer. On one meaty hand, there is the cartoonish,… Continue reading »
Evan Nabavian is in all likelihood, one of the best forever. DJ Khaled’s ringtone is his 2010 single “All I Do Is Win.” T-Pain’s voice reverberates down the closed off Miami street and Khaled answers like a customer service rep, with a casual, “We the best.” He starts peppering Cool from Cool & Dre about… Continue reading »
Doc Zeus’s municipal marvelousity has yet to be magnificently memorialized. Listening to Maybach Music Group’s Self-Made Vol. 1 can be described in a series of short words that may or may not have been used by Rick Ross on the actual album: astonishing, wonderment, immaculateness, impeccability, magnificentience, flawlessment, superlativery, gloriousic and amazitude. Like Xanadu and… Continue reading »
SLIM THUG FT. RICK ROSS ‘HOW WE DO IT’ from DRE FILMS / MAYBACH FILMS on Vimeo. Evan Nabavian once attended the thug show and received a free Lil Boosie bobblehead. Slim Thug covered his bases on Tha Thug Show. He has a bubblegum single with B.o.B, a Big K.R.I.T feature for blog readers, a… Continue reading »
Say what you want about Rotund Ricky, he holds his own in rap battles like he does at an all-you-can-eat crustacean buffet. Forget “Devil in a New Dress,” he first put everyone on notice with “Knife Fight” where he arguably topped Kool G Rap. Blasphemy yes, but even if that’s hyperbole, the finish was photo.… Continue reading »
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E1a9GjiOc4 Lyrics intended to be as accurate as possible, though even the most erudite can be easily mesmerized by the refulgence of Rick Ross’s beard. Interpretations necessary — for like the exquisite crustaceans that Mssr. Rozay ritualistically devours, the true meaning of his verse only emerges when the carapace is cracked. Bawse. ”My gun dirty/my… Continue reading »

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY1DE0mpDlU Weekends are for Rozay. Ross is a liar, but we already knew that. He denies being a star, but he is. Only a celebrity could boast this level of delusion. He is the Jenna Maroney of rap music. He’s living theatrically. If only Hollywood would return to their love of high concept and allow… Continue reading »
