Deen’s from Houston, you know how he’s coming. I’m fairly certain that February 3rd’s, New Jet City, is yet another Currensy freebie (intended to commemorate N’awlins hosting the Super Bowl), so I’m left wondering how and why the man decided to let this one go for free. Look at the star power on this shit! […]

You say no to drugs, MobbDeen can’t. It’s a really clever move for Juicy J to shoot a video for this track approximately 15 months after he first released the track as a random loosie, then as part of his Blue Dream & Lean mixtape. After all, his buzz is about as big as it’s […]

In which Deen stays riding for his alias’ namesake. I suppose it’s still too much to hope for Hell on Earth-era Prodigy on wax again someday, but I’ll take this. Rap internet has discussed and recapped this ad naseum, but post-“Takeover” Prodigy basically fell off until The Alchemist helped resurrect an acceptable version of the […]

Deen wrote this on Donnie’s roof. This is a bit uncomfortable. For me at least. Why you ask? Well, this is the first Rawse single in a looooooooong time that I’ve liked. I mean that and note that I said “single,” not song – I’m not as delusional as he is. I can honestly state […]

There’s just one thing Deen wants to say. I know that most rap nerds tend to hate, or at least not prefer, sung hooks by R&B folks in lieu of some hard rap shit. I think there was a point in time when heads called that shit “Rap & Bullshit.” Clever, eh? I’ll happily admit […]

Deen mean-mugged through this whole blog post. Confession: I’ve never really been into MC Eiht’s music. Not in his solo or Compton’s Most Wanted incarnations. I heard “Straight Up Menace” off the Menace II Society soundtrack like everyone else, but I generally missed out on his 90s stuff for the twin reasons of being too […]

Deen owns a Duke soccer jersey signed by Petey Pablo If you can deal with the somewhat awkward… erm… stuff going on this new Peedi Crakk single, then you’ll have yourself one hella of a single. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed this way too much, given how vaguely pauseworthy this entire shit […]

Deen is having his wisdom teeth removed. Pay Pay the man some money for morphine. Believe me when I tell you that the most interesting thing about 2Chainz’s T.R.U.Realigion mixtape was Cap.1 one’s appearance on “Turn Up.” I’m serious. When that tape dropped in Winter 2011, I was deep in the throes of confusion with […]

Deen’s been sleeping so much he started getting carded again. Hola. Hope you enjoyed the holidays. I didn’t – being crippled and all, but that ain’t your problem. Guess it’s back to the grind again for all of us. And by “all of us” that means Gangsta Gibbs too. You must have been insane to […]

Deen is back at full volume. It looks as if Ray Cash might actually wanna make a decent fist of this rap shit again. Pause? He disappeared for a long minute after his debut album and made a quiet return of sorts with 2011’s Champagne Talk and last February’s Don King mixtapes, then he went […]
