June 27th in July: The Houston Rap Boiler Room (w/ Commentary from MobbDeen & Shea Serrano) | July 23, 2013 |
For the unofficial but very official, “DJ Screw Memorial Day” on June 27, some Houston rap legends and young leaning lions celebrated for a very special episode of Boiler Room. In honor of the occasion, Passion of the Weiss is premiering the recorded footage — featuring commentary from two preeminent Screwston rap scholars: MobbDeen and […]
Consider this Deen’s dedication to those flooded in Toronto. Well I’ll be damned; the Canadians are coming. Remember how I wrote about Drake’s tax write off, Pndoor, the other day and took a blind stab at describing something I labelled the ‘Toronto Sound’? Oh, you don’t remember? Well, fuck you too then – that’s rude. […]
MobbDeen: PARTYNEXTDOOR’s PARTYNEXTDOOR… | July 2, 2013 |
Deen doesn’t speak Canadian. Before we get into this, I’mma just go ahead and make it clear that I won’t be typing that silly moniker out like that ever again. It’s a matter of principle. I don’t know what’s going on with the Canadian educational system, but it’s shitty ettiquet to type in ALLCAPSWITHOUTSPACESLIKESOMESORTOFLOUDCUNT, so […]
Deen is similar to shoot outs in the Wild West. There are fewer things more enjoyable in my mediocre life than watching any awards show or major event along with the rest of my Twitter timeline. The jokes are harder, better, faster and stronger. And I’m here for that shit. These people I never intend […]
MobbDeen: Freddie Gibbs’ Evil Seeds Grow Naturally | June 26, 2013 |
Deen is already preparing for his June 27 Celebration. If you’re a longtime Freddie Gibbs’ fan, you definitely detected a slight difference in his demeanor while he was with Young Jeezy’s CTE. One could say that he was a bit “friendlier” and it was reflected in his music – which wasn’t a bad thing, given […]
MobbDeen: Prodigy & The Alchemist’s “Albert Einstein” | June 17, 2013 |
Ask Deen about this theories of Relativity Records. I’m too lazy to go back and find exactly what I wrote about my expectations for Prodigy and The Alchemist’s ‘Albert Einstein’, but I’m fairly certain that I said I’d probably be satisfied with the project if The Alchemist refrained from handing Prodigy those psychedelic beats he’s […]
Deen would like a moment of national pause after staring at the cover. Everyday, I alternately thank and curse Al Gore for inventing these internets of ours. After all, the internet is the only reason why you poor souls are subjected to this shitty prose because if I’m being completely honest there’s no way I’d […]
MobbDeen: Joey Fatts – Chipper Jones, Vol.2… | June 4, 2013 |
Deen also enjoys “Bobby Cox.” I imagine that since this project is called ‘Chipper Jones, Vol.2‘, there’s a ‘Vol.1′ floating around out there. In fact, I have the aforementioned project, but at the time I started writing this mess I hadn’t listened to it yet, so for all intents and purposes we’ll consider this Joey […]
MobbDeen: Yeezus Rocks — Kanye Does SNL | May 21, 2013 |
Deen once ghost-wrote for Consequence. So everyone’s favorite melodramatic rapper came back over the weekend and he’s mad and militant and here to scare corporations, rich (read: white) people and Illuminati theorists alike. Simultaneously, he’s providing “deep” commentary on materialism, consumerism and capitalism with a light gloss of metal and GOOD Summer retreads. And if […]
