| MobbDeen: The Return of Rick Rawse — Bovine Man in a “Box Chevy” | January 28, 2013 |
Deen wrote this on Donnie’s roof. This is a bit uncomfortable. For me at least. Why you ask? Well, this is the first Rawse single in a looooooooong time that I’ve liked. I mean that and note that I said “single,” not song – I’m not as delusional as he is. I can honestly state […]
| MobbDeen: A Different Kind of Duet – Grand Puba & Mary J. Blige… | January 23, 2013 |
There’s just one thing Deen wants to say. I know that most rap nerds tend to hate, or at least not prefer, sung hooks by R&B folks in lieu of some hard rap shit. I think there was a point in time when heads called that shit “Rap & Bullshit.” Clever, eh? I’ll happily admit […]
| MobbDeen — Hood Pass Intact: MC Eiht’s “Keep It Hood” EP | January 18, 2013 |
Deen mean-mugged through this whole blog post. Confession: I’ve never really been into MC Eiht’s music. Not in his solo or Compton’s Most Wanted incarnations. I heard “Straight Up Menace” off the Menace II Society soundtrack like everyone else, but I generally missed out on his 90s stuff for the twin reasons of being too […]
| MobbDeen: Can Peedi Crakk Come Back? | January 11, 2013 |
Deen owns a Duke soccer jersey signed by Petey Pablo If you can deal with the somewhat awkward… erm… stuff going on this new Peedi Crakk single, then you’ll have yourself one hella of a single. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed this way too much, given how vaguely pauseworthy this entire shit […]
| MobbDeen: Gangbanging 101 with Cap 1, Young Jeezy & Game… | January 10, 2013 |
Deen is having his wisdom teeth removed. Pay Pay the man some money for morphine. Believe me when I tell you that the most interesting thing about 2Chainz’s T.R.U.Realigion mixtape was Cap.1 one’s appearance on “Turn Up.” I’m serious. When that tape dropped in Winter 2011, I was deep in the throes of confusion with […]
Deen’s been sleeping so much he started getting carded again. Hola. Hope you enjoyed the holidays. I didn’t – being crippled and all, but that ain’t your problem. Guess it’s back to the grind again for all of us. And by “all of us” that means Gangsta Gibbs too. You must have been insane to […]
| MobbDeen: Ray Cash Requires Your Company… | December 12, 2012 |
Deen is back at full volume. It looks as if Ray Cash might actually wanna make a decent fist of this rap shit again. Pause? He disappeared for a long minute after his debut album and made a quiet return of sorts with 2011’s Champagne Talk and last February’s Don King mixtapes, then he went […]
| MobbDeen: The Rising Ubiquity Of Love Sosa… | December 7, 2012 |
Deen is trippy by prescription. Whenever you read this, I can guarantee that I’ll be woozy as fuck off high–powered prescription painkillers, given that I just underwent fairly major surgery (yes, I’m good and thanks for asking.) Boring side note; yes, this pill is making me sweat. WOO! I wrote that to write this: for […]
With Deen on-board, Passion of the Weiss will stomp out Richard E. Gordon for Best Webmaster. Decent humans would call these “honorable mentions.” But I’m neither human nor decent. I don’t believe in labels – when applied to me, myself, I and personally. They definitely work for everybody and everything else though. Not that I […]
| MobbDeen: Rap Geniusing 103 — Roc Marciano’s “Thread Count” | November 19, 2012 |
Deen has yet to record a shirtless “freestyle.” So I’ve been listening to this new Roc Marciano album quite a bit. It’s quite good. I can pretty much guarantee that you’ll be reading a review around these parts soon enough. Just not from me. I’m lazy and lack the depth required to reflect on rap […]
