Misanthropic Lagosian. Lagos is somewhere in Africa, idiot. I dig fried plantains, women that can make fried plantains, racism, econometrics, soccer, basketball, Nas, Freddie Gibbs, Juicy J and whisky. Some other unimportant shit too. Talk to me on twitter or tumblr.

The Nowhere Men by Michael Calvin Glow by Rick James| MobbDeen: George Benson – “Give Me The Night” | August 9, 2012 |
Deen was and is advanced. I still remember the first time someone asked what kind of music I listened to. I wasn’t quite as much of a music nerd as I am now (I was about 8 or 9), but I already had a pretty cool answer for my age: “all kinds of stuff – […]
| MobbDeen: Trinidad James, Safety Last | August 8, 2012 |
Deen wrote this in a fit of peak. Trinidad James makes one hell of a first impression, so I’ll offer apologies in advance for all the (probably ill-fitting) comparisons I’m about to make. That’s what happens when you don’t know shit about a rapper other than he’s from Atlanta. That cover is ridiculously great. Evokes […]
| MobbDeen: Trademark Da Skydiver – Anxious… | August 6, 2012 |
You say no to ratchets, MobbDeen can’t. This isn’t the best song on Trademark’s latest mixtape, Flamingo Barnes, but it’s the perfect excuse for me to let y’all in on a rap bloggist secret: writing about Bob James’ “Nautilus” is always a good and convenient starting point for a post. I shouldn’t have written that, […]
| MobbDeen: Future – Turn On The Lights… | July 31, 2012 |
Deen is Batmane. The video for the song of the year is finally here. OK. That was hyperbole. This is not the song of the year. It ranks second only to Future’s “Neva End.” Yep. I’m so sincere right now. Or maybe I’m not. You don’t care. All I know is that Future’s Pluto hasn’t […]
Deen doesn’t know about that crown. If I’m keeping it honest with y’all, I’ll have to admit that I really have zero interest in listening to anything that isn’t Life Is Good until Freddie Gibbs or Juicy J drop a new project. However, this bloggist shit is quite the responsibility, so write I must. Writing […]
Deen doesn’t believe in R&B duets. I’m gonna say this real quick: I don’t really listen to Jim Jones. Ever. Unless I have to. Ballin’ was a smash that brought us all together with a “dance” even the most uncoordinated among us could do. After all, he’s an ex-weed carrier best known for ruining Dipset, […]
Deen wishes Usher would sing about his Cavaliers stake more often. “3 Kings” is underwhelming as all the fucks in the world. I’m sorry. It’s beginning to feel as if I’m intentionally being douchey in regards to all things Rick Rawse, but I swear that isn’t the case. He’s just not bringing it. I ain’t […]
| MobbDeen: The-Dream and Pusha T Do Dope | July 18, 2012 |
The-Dream “Dope Bitch” from IDJVID on Vimeo. Deen fanuted “Fanute” into the New York Times. What have you done? I present the best use of copious amounts of baby powder since Ashy Larry last graced our television screens. Which begs the question; “can the video channels even air this shit?” Which in turn begs another […]
| MobbDeen: Nas & Large Professor Go Loco | July 3, 2012 |
Deen’s only problem with the 90s is that the word “Fanute” had yet to be discovered. I could only listen to this once. But that’s because I’ve heard enough from Life Is Good at this point and want to salvage that initial listening experience by avoiding further leaks. Still. HOLY SHIT! This is excellent and […]
| MobbDeen: The Scarce Fridge of Rick Ross | July 3, 2012 |
Rick Ross asked for it, so Deen shall decree. Well. My first thought on Rozay’s “Hold Me Back” is that the hook sounds almost exactly like the hook from Wale & Meek Mill’s “Actin’ Up” off the new MMG compilation (for the record, that shit sucks – all of it, save 3 Meek verses and […]
