Hype Williams isn’t even trying anymore. But that’s fine, because nobody involved with Fat Joe‘s new video for “Pride N’ Joy” seems to be trying. Joey receives the Hype treatment of getting nothing but his torso on camera in front a multi-colored screen; Miguel and Roscoe Dash receive just enough screen-time to help you realize […]

Slava P occasionally gets J.R.R. Tolkien confused with Ace Hood. Shout Out To The Real – Meek Mill/ Ace Hood/ Piles An energetic trap jam — “over-trapped” by the addition of Piles Bitches And Bottles – Future/ T.I./ Lil’ Wayne Turn’ ignorance up. Legends (and Future) spit bars of no consequence I Wish You Would […]

Slava P wrote this while sipping Cabernet out of a Stanley Cup. As part of TDE appreciation week, Schoolboy Q released a new, Kenny Beats-produced track titled simply, “Party.” Now, if I showed up to a party and saw someone who resembled Schoolboy Q posted up against the wall, I would show myself out faster […]

Slava P dances like a white man with the confidence of a Ukranian man. With a name change and a new career Tity’s album is finally here Some hits were expected and it’s far from perfected but don’t expect play past this year Yuck feat. Lil’ Wayne Hurried strings and kicks lift extension cord punchlines […]

Slava P was there. When you live in Toronto, there are really only four months of the year where the weather is comfortable enough for you to go outside and enjoy life. For the past three years, Drake has planted his owl-printed flag firmly into this four month-frame by introducing OVO Fest, which is less […]

Slava P is thinking of a master ham. If there’s one thing I love, it’s a good Rick Ross album. If I would have to add another thing to love, it would be the fine, gourmet meals that I eat rarely and fantasize about often. So with Rozay’s album leaking less than a week before […]

Slava P briefly dated the Maybach Music Girl. For a team that fairly recent started gaining traction, Maybach Music Group has already accrued a fairly popular, if polarizing, roster. There’s the tilapia-loving bawse, Rick Ross; the misguided Midwest transplant, Stalley; the one-man-twerk-machine, Omarion; Meek ‘No Indoor Voice’ Mill; and their newest signee, Rockie Fresh, who […]

Slava P is just saying that this album has a John Mayer guest spot. Start Playstation noises. All “classic” albums begin with a short intro. Thinking About You Same vocals, third mix. Callow, endearing lyrics. But over-produced. Fertilizer Flipping through channels, a commercial for shit. Or, a love song. Or both. Sierra Leone Sleepy and […]

Slava P listened to Chris Brown so you don’t have to. Turn Up The Music Retchingly catchy. Nonsensical screams backed by electro-pop drums. Bassline Cocky Breezy time. Is ‘Bassline’ Chris’ brand new name for his penis? Till I Die feat. Big Sean & Wiz Khalifa The three amigos rap about smoking more pounds than their […]

Slava P’s birth name is Versace Bentley Mazda. Considering that the idea of “hip-hop” has existed for less than forty years, it’s fascinating to think how many trends have come into fruition and withered away. In the ’10s, this ‘trend-cycle’ has been hyper-accelerated thanks to the internet providing more avenues from which “talent” can be […]
