Ballin’ on a Budget: Schoolboy Q – “Nightmare on Figg St.”

“The landlord turn your lieutenant into a tenant/and if your rims spinning/your jaws dented.” That barely makes sense and it’s the hardest thing since MC Ren. Sorry Mos Def (uh Yitzhak Bey), this is the diametrical opposite of “Niggas in Paris.” I would be cool with hearing it eight times consecutively at the next Black… Continue reading »

Video: BEeFF – “Beautiful Women Dyin’ (Necrophiliac)”

Only BEeFF have the bad taste to release a video to a parody club song about wanting to have sex with zombie Aaliyah on what would have been her 33rd birthday. This is precisely why I like them. This is the fifth straight video of theirs that has made me laugh out loud. Not bad… Continue reading »

Video: Nacho Picasso – “Bad Guy”

Questions raised by this song and the accompanying video: Where can one find a Juggalo assassin for hire? What exactly defines a bare knuckle gypsy? Are Carrot Top’s big guns the result of steroids? Why would your parent’s be still having sex, let alone sex with Nacho Picasso? Cargo shorts? What strain of weed is… Continue reading »

Chopping it up with DJ Quik

Things I resent: most everything about the host of these Pitchfork Selector series. Under no circumstances does he have the Danny Brown jort pass. Dude is brazenly running around in capri’s. Also, this video does not need to be split into two parts, especially when you squander the first minute on self-aggrandizing set up shots.… Continue reading »

Robot Koch “Heal” Feat. John LaMonica Official Video (The Other Side – Project: Mooncircle, 2011) from Project Mooncircle on Vimeo. Robot Koch is the Black Swan.

Video: Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire – Huzzah 2

Due to deadlines, I’ve been off the Internet all day, so I don’t know how many bloggers labeled this beat post-Young L and bas(s)ed. Not quite. Instead, eXquire continues to mine rare gems, excavating some dystopian funk from the Co Flow instrumental opus, Little Johnny from the Hospital.. Add that to the Fear and Loathing… Continue reading »

Video: The Coathangers – “Trailer Park Boneyard”

The Coathangers – Trailer Park Boneyard (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HD) from Studio 8 on Vimeo. Better than adderall for those with anorexic attention spans. This video is explicitly designed to command attention for all 213 seconds — from the first sound of spray paint to the cat fight at its conclusion. The Coathangers are probably… Continue reading »

Video: Yelawolf – “No Hands”

If Yelawolf doesn’t become the next rap superstar, my faith will be forever shook in the industry system. Considering I still have a scintilla of faith despite reviewing nearly every major rap record release, is enough to convince me that I may not be a pure pessimist after all. If Eminem can make Royce go… Continue reading »

Video: Kendrick Lamar – “A.D.H.D.”

About a month ago, I interviewed Danny Brown for Spin. We started talking about Section 80 and he said, “that if you’re a rapper and if you heard “A.D.H.D.” and didn’t lose sleep, you’re doing something wrong.” It’s a wonderful thing when the rap world can anoint the next star based on talent instead of… Continue reading »
