Jeff Weiss is a writer from Los Angeles, Ca. He founded POW in late 2005, a curse that continues to this day.
He can be contacted at [email protected]. I guess.
| Shots Fired, Episode 84: The Bug (Kevin Martin) | January 12, 2015 |
After a two-month hiatus in which we raced around the world battle rapping in (separate) hot air balloons for Fuse TV, Nocando and I have returned for the latest Shots Fired. In a token gift for random haters who have been demanding more free work from us, we’re dropping a very special two-part episode. The […]
| This is What They Do: The Dipset Reunion, 2015 | January 9, 2015 |
In honor of the Dipset Reunion, a look back at what made them great.
The new video from the best teenaged rapper.
| A Zip and a Double Cup: The 50 Best Rap Songs of 2014 (Zipped) | December 24, 2014 |
In honor of the celebrated birth of the last Jewish carpenter, I’ve uploaded all 50 of the best raps of 2014. As the King of Xmas excess, Juicy J(esus) once said: enjoy your zip with a double cup. The original list with words is here. The music with no words is below. Merry Xmas. We’ll […]
We’re presenting a rap show on Thursday for people who like rap shows. Maybe you enjoy a good old fashioned rap show? If not, maybe you have accidentally clicked onto the wrong site. The confusion may be my fault. We are in the promise of revitalizing the prestigious Cat Fancy brand in order to create […]
| I Can See Clearly Now: The Video for “Havin a Time” from Serengeti as Kenny Dennis | December 12, 2014 |
Kenny Dennis, the missing link of Super Friends, the limbo facilitator, push-up counter, blessed with the swagger of a thousand Berengers. Don’t forget this is the the party MC of Perfecto lore. You think you know how to have a time, but you are not inhabiting the spirit of Kenny when he cuts loose off […]
| The Celebratory Dread of Shy Glizzy | December 10, 2014 |
It’s hard not to like Shy Glizzy. Within a minute and a half of the first song on Laws 3, he rhymes Lil Boosie with Karrueche. He rocks the Doc Sportello sideburns with aplomb and he basically sustains a certain menace despite possessing what Naya Rivera would scoff at as: the Big Sean physique. But […]
| YG & Mustard & The 2015 Flow | December 8, 2014 |
Give Mustard and Y.G. credit. By this point in the careers of their ancestors, Dre and Snoop, the former was already one foot in the grave of making sanitized Been There Done That raps. Prior to his resurrection at the hands of the pale white cash cow. It’s shaky if Y.G. will actually make a […]
| Earl Sweatshirt & Lil Herb: “Knuckleheads” | December 4, 2014 |
People change, but seasons don’t. There are only so many phases and in the rap world circa 2014, there is enough diversity where one of the ideas floating around will always be in. This isn’t 90s revival, but the same ideas are applied. Thudding minimal drums, minor chord piano lines roughly 5 degrees sunnier than […]
| Kevin Gates, Rock Supplying Like the Flintstones | December 3, 2014 |
You don’t need any more extended tributes to Gates. After all, year-End lists are approaching and for the third straight year, he’s been writing and sending hits. At the moment, he has four ostensibly free mixtapes in the Top 100 of the iTunes Rap charts. In the last two weeks, he’s leaked “John Gotti,” a […]
