Evan Nabavian is a staff writer for Passion of the Weiss, contributing since 2011 when the powers that be blackballed him for slandering Lupe Fiasco (Lupe, if you’re reading this, I am so sorry). His distinctions include being cited by name in the Wikipedia article for “Ride” by Ciara and having his kitchen depict a crack den in a Freddie Gibbs video. In 2012, he was banned from S.O.B.’s in New York following an altercation where he questioned the tenets of real hip-hop. In 2014, he shared a Pulitzer for interviewing the ghost of Tim Dog. He’s @MooseXL on Twitter and his email is his name at gmail dot com.

| Smoking MoSS | April 14, 2011 |
Evan Nabavian did not grow up in Canada like the rest of the staff, but he is dedicated to preserving Canuck hegemony. MoSS grew up in Canada listening to Iron Maiden, Metallica, and ACDC before hockey games, but by the grace of the hip-hop goddess, who in my mind resembles Miss Cleo, he lived next […]
| Mathematical Proof | April 12, 2011 |
If it was left up to Evan Nabavian, he would be living proof. Proof and Dilla. It’s no secret that hip-hop reveres its fallen.
