MobbDeen’s Top 10 Rappers in the Game | March 14, 2013 |
MobbDeen: Drake’s “5 AM in Toronto” | March 8, 2013 |
Deen is higher than a pelican. I didn’t fuck with Jeezy’s music until he dropped The Recession back in 2008. Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration. It was really when “3AM” dropped that I was willing to allow that Jeezy was more than mere adlibs or that maybe being that mere adlibs wasn’t the worst thing […]
Deen has spent the last 72 hours Duflocka Ranting. As a matter of principle (and stubborness), I still insist on rappers adhering to their regional sounds. Or at least, given that it’s 2013 and I’ve already yielded to the likes of ASAP Rocky and Drake, having some sort of connection to your region’s traditional vibe. […]
MobbDeen: Juicy J & The Weeknd Get Melancholitrippy | February 21, 2013 |
Deen is currently teaching a class on Copyright Law and early Juicy J cassette tapes at Rice University. Maybe I’m too beholden to conventional song structure, but I’m more than a little irritated that we don’t really hear Juicy J on what’s ostensibly his own single for the first TWO (2) minutes of a four […]
MobbDeen: Sasha Go Hard’s Third Round Knockout | February 18, 2013 |
Deen survived All-Star Weekend in Houston. One of my favorite rappers working today is Sean Price. Yes, he of the unrelenting hilarity and goonery. A little while ago on Twitter, some innocent soul asked him about his favorite female rappers or a closely related question. In pure Sean P fashion, he responded, and I’m paraphrasing […]
MobbDeen: French Montana “Freaks” Nicki Minaj | February 14, 2013 |
MobbDeen he wrote. We might be stuck with this alcoholic, rap-by-commission ass nigga. This asshole just repeated the same trick he pulled off with that “Pop That” shit, but with fewer training wheels this time. By “this asshole,” I mean the puppet-master, Diddy. I smell his money-laden fingerprints all over this mess. And by “fewer […]
MobbDeen: Trae & Future Get Screwed Up | February 13, 2013 |
Deen is smanging in swangers. I figured that by now I’d have begun to suffer from Future/Mike Will Made It induced fatigue, but three minutes and thirty seconds later, I’m glad to report that I’m still on the bandwag… erm, spaceship. As we all know, it’s a copy cat industry and every hot rapper/hook man/producer […]
Mobbdeen Goes to the Grammys. From his living room. | February 11, 2013 |
Deen has a boxed set of In the House. So yeah, I’m one of those fake cool types that “doesn’t watch” the Grammys, because “they always get it wrong.” I still pay attention to the main/rap categories, because I’m a glutton for pop culture and music, but I definitely enjoy chuckling at folks that trip […]
MobbDeen: A Defense of Pusha T’s “Wrath of Caine” | February 6, 2013 |
