Deen was once a psychotic neurotic. More than most rap fans, I tend to worry a lot about some of the OGs that made the music of my youth (yeah, I’m getting used to this old nigga shit). I say “more than most” because most rap fans I know give zero fucks about cats like […]

Deen is all about the process. In lieu of a proper review of El-Producto’s new effort, I’ll leave that shit to a professional because I’m lazy and I “don’t write reviews” (Ed’s note: Son Raw calls dibs), I’m going to write down some of the shit that crossed my mind while listening to “Cancer for […]

A combination of Deen’s latent interest in the NFL Draft and the recent wave of Nas publicity/and artwork leak led to this. Stop it Nasir. I’m not used to all this publicity for a Nas project. Def Jam must really want to get their money’s worth outta this one. Videos, VH1 documentaries, proper single roll […]

Photo via Up North Trips Deen is calmer than you are, dude. I don’t know what it is about this damn song that gets me so extra hype. I think, and correct me if I’m wrong, that it’s the perfect definition of irony when a song titled “Calm Down” makes me want to shank something. […]

Deen remembers the good old days when people called “snackpacks” by their real name: hats. The apocalypse is nigh y’all. I clicked on this after watching Nas’ ‘The Don’ trailer and lo and behold I like this song. Dear reader, I’m even more shocked than you are. SMH. Let me list all the things wrong […]

Deen’s going to rip off Marley Marl for his next single. You know what? There’s something to that “even a broken clock is right twice a day” shit. If you’re lenient and patient enough, any of these rappers, no matter how awful, can make some shit that you fuck with. But you shouldn’t have to […]

This single did not make Deen’s life good.  What the fuck Nasir? For real? Why do you have to make my internet and barbershop lives so damn hard NasGawd? I can’t get jiggy to this shit. I can’t defend it either – even though the stan in me is desperate to rationalize this shit. This […]

Please warmly welcome Deen into the PotW crew with offers of cigarillo and blue dream. Hello there. I’m Deen. I like to refer to myself as “MobbDeen” too. I’d explain that, but then I’d just be insulting your intelligence. And if you’re reading this, you’re clearly intelligent as all the fucks. Sheeeeeit, I’ve been reading […]
