Deen wrote this while flipping switches and clocking all the riches. Some of you might be aware of the fact that I don’t rate Kendrick Lamar as highly as many seem to. For the umpteenth time, I think he’s a talent, but y’all’s obsession/savior complex basically ruined the kid for me. It’s fair to say […]
| MobbDeen: Gucci Vs. Jeezy — Beef. Winter 2012 Edition… | October 16, 2012 |
Deen is watching this and eating potcorn. “I take summers off ‘cos I love winter beef…” – NasGawd. Before I get into the details of this fake-real WWE shit, let me provide a bit of context for my disgusting enthusiasm and blood-thirst. If you know enough about me, you’ll know that my favorite kinds of […]
| MobbDeen: Shotgunning With Rochelle Jordan | October 11, 2012 |
Listen to Deen. He knows what he’s talking about. I’m writing about this Rochelle Jordan video for two reasons. First, I’m pretty sure that enough of you chose to ignore me when I granted her project, Pressure, the official Mobbdeen stamp of approval a little while ago. How do I know this? Well, my brother […]
Deen is on the phone, cooking sopes at the same damn time. Call me cynical or even humorless, but when will rappers learn? Seriously? What’s the damn point in putting Future on a hook if you aren’t aiming for the charts? I mean, I fux with gritty and gully-sounding shit more than the next person, […]
| MobbDeen: Smoke DZA’s “K.O.N.Y.” Mixtape | October 5, 2012 |
Deen would also like to extend a fuck you to Obasanjo. Has anyone else noticed that learning to like or at least learning to tolerate shitty rappers isn’t a phenomenon restricted to the “mainstream”? In other words, even less than popular rappers that you aren’t fond of can weasel their way into your listening rotation […]
Hola. It’s been a minute since I wrote anything about anything – that’s Freddie Gibbs’ fault. I’ve been bumping Baby Face Killa on a loop for a while now and I’ve had zero interest in listening to or writing about anything else. It’s that serious. I realize that it isn’t a perfect mixtape, but I’d […]
| Mobbdeen Goes To A Music Conference… | September 17, 2012 |
Deen came back with lavish habits/speaking Spanish. Funny how shit works. A week ago, a friend invited me to a rap music conference in Houston. Ordinarily, this shit wouldn’t pique my interest, but she used the expression “struggle raps” and the comedic imagery that flashed across my mind had me reconsidering. Besides, Bun B was […]
| Mobb Deen: Scoe – Thank You feat. Kendrick Lamar (produced by Jake One)… | September 14, 2012 |
Deen gives a first consultation free, but after that, it’ll cost you. You probably don’t care about my writing process, but allow my to bloviate a bit in the interest of providing context. More often than not, there’s ONE very specific fact or point of interest that inspires me to write about a song or […]
| MobbDeen: Rap Game 2012 Draft Scouting Report — GrandeMarshall’s “800” | September 12, 2012 |
Deen somehow managed to write this review without making an All Flamerz joke. If you can’t find any rap to fuck with in 2012, then you’re a fucking moron. Period. There’s so much to choose from that it borders on ridiculous. Who would have thunk that you’d hear a non-Roots affiliated rapper outta Philly without […]
| MobbDeen: Medium Sean – How It Feel… | August 29, 2012 |
Deen believes music is like herpes: you never know when it will strike. I’ll be damned. If it isn’t Medium Sean switchin his steez up on us. Hate to admit it, but this shit kinda works. Now I completely understand that we (who are “we”?) aren’t supposed to admit to messing with Sean the Rapper’s […]
