Deen is currently teaching a class on Copyright Law and early Juicy J cassette tapes at Rice University. Maybe I’m too beholden to conventional song structure, but I’m more than a little irritated that we don’t really hear Juicy J on what’s ostensibly his own single for the first TWO (2) minutes of a four […]

Deen survived All-Star Weekend in Houston. One of my favorite rappers working today is Sean Price. Yes, he of the unrelenting hilarity and goonery. A little while ago on Twitter, some innocent soul asked him about his favorite female rappers or a closely related question. In pure Sean P fashion, he responded, and I’m paraphrasing […]

Deen is crying tears of Seagrams. This one hurts. Bad. I know that the last time we all heard about Tim Dog, he was on Dateline or Nightline doing some unsavory shit to some silly broad’s life savings, but I’m pretty sure that won’t be the way we remember the man – even if I […]

MobbDeen he wrote. We might be stuck with this alcoholic, rap-by-commission ass nigga. This asshole just repeated the same trick he pulled off with that “Pop That” shit, but with fewer training wheels this time. By “this asshole,” I mean the puppet-master, Diddy. I smell his money-laden fingerprints all over this mess. And by “fewer […]

Deen is smanging in swangers. I figured that by now I’d have begun to suffer from Future/Mike Will Made It induced fatigue, but three minutes and thirty seconds later, I’m glad to report that I’m still on the bandwag… erm, spaceship. As we all know, it’s a copy cat industry and every hot rapper/hook man/producer […]

Deen has a boxed set of In the House. So yeah, I’m one of those fake cool types that “doesn’t watch” the Grammys, because “they always get it wrong.” I still pay attention to the main/rap categories, because I’m a glutton for pop culture and music, but I definitely enjoy chuckling at folks that trip […]

If you Google “Deen” Twitter, Deen is second only to the male porn star, James Deen. With your help, he can be first. Hawking the wrong drug never sounded so good on wax. To me at least. Any rap listener worth his/her weight in mp3s understands that we’re currently in the “Molly” era, but as […]

Deen’s from Houston, you know how he’s coming. I’m fairly certain that February 3rd’s, New Jet City, is yet another Currensy freebie (intended to commemorate N’awlins hosting the Super Bowl), so I’m left wondering how and why the man decided to let this one go for free. Look at the star power on this shit! […]

You say no to drugs, MobbDeen can’t. It’s a really clever move for Juicy J to shoot a video for this track approximately 15 months after he first released the track as a random loosie, then as part of his Blue Dream & Lean mixtape. After all, his buzz is about as big as it’s […]

In which Deen stays riding for his alias’ namesake. I suppose it’s still too much to hope for Hell on Earth-era Prodigy on wax again someday, but I’ll take this. Rap internet has discussed and recapped this ad naseum, but post-“Takeover” Prodigy basically fell off until The Alchemist helped resurrect an acceptable version of the […]
