Slava P is Rocksteady & Bebop’s older cousin. Sherane aka Master Splinter’s Daughter Sonic plot setup, characters established, rap parts also rapped well. Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe A subdued slow jam with lyric acrobatics and odd nasal noise Backseat Freestyle Animalistic verses held together by a brutal chorus The Art of Peer Pressure Dangers […]
Haiku Review: Machine Gun Kelly’s “Lace Up” | October 10, 2012 |
Machine Gun Fuck: The Case Against Machine Gun Kelly | September 28, 2012 |
Slava P prefers The Dillinger Escape Plan. By default. Out of all the white rappers trying to make a name for themselves, Machine Gun Kelly may be my least favorite. Maybe it’s because he takes himself too seriously. Maybe because Diddy signed him. Maybe it’s because he reminds me of a younger and somehow angrier […]
Haiku Reviews: Lupe Fiasco’s “Food & Liquor II” | September 24, 2012 |
Slava P bought a tomb next to Howard Zinn after listening to this album. Ayesha Says (Intro) Familiar qualms offered by poetic sis: like angry Wale. Strange Fruition feat. Casey Benjamin White guilt overload over deconstructed strings and loose metaphors. ITAL (Roses) Pedantic lectures: pseudo-intellectual rap-pleas & pander
Haiku Reviews: Kanye West’s “Cruel Summer” | September 18, 2012 |

5 Things Chief Keef Can Learn From Gangnam Style | September 7, 2012 |
Slava P still gets Lil Jojo confused with the other Lil Jojo. If you’ve been paying attention to the Interwebs over the last few days, you’ve probably seen the infectiously ridiculous video for “Gangnam Style,” a song performed by the 34-year-old-wonder of K-Pop known as PSY. The song has exploded out of South Korea and […]
Haiku Reviews: Lil Wayne & DJ Drama – Dedication 4 | September 5, 2012 |
Slava P’s main problem is avoiding saying “Fuck DJ Khaled” in the last line of every haiku. So Dedicated feat. Birdman Start off strong; talk of refrigerated semen. The tone has been set. Same Damn Tune Pornographic bars detail exploits that no one asked to hear about. Cashed Out Poignant questions asked: “Who the fuck […]
The Gospel of Gunplay | September 4, 2012 |
Slava P was wired when he wrote this, so forgive him if he goes too fast. Continuing to cement his role as the lovable underdog of MMG, Gunplay has dropped a video for “Take This,” one of the singles off his 601 & Snort mixtape. Looking visibly unhinged throughout the video (which he apparently directed […]
Who Is Raz Fresco? | August 30, 2012 |
Slava P also endorses cinnamon babka. Who is Raz Fresco? He’s a 17 year old rapper, producer, and Rajon Rondo look-a-like who hails from Toronto and is a part of Bakers Club, the Northern equivalent of New York’s Pro Est movement (equivalent, in that both crews enjoy wearing old vintage Ralph Lauren clothes and rapping […]
