| MobbDeen: Future – Turn On The Lights… | July 31, 2012 |
Deen is Batmane. The video for the song of the year is finally here. OK. That was hyperbole. This is not the song of the year. It ranks second only to Future’s “Neva End.” Yep. I’m so sincere right now. Or maybe I’m not. You don’t care. All I know is that Future’s Pluto hasn’t […]
Deen doesn’t know about that crown. If I’m keeping it honest with y’all, I’ll have to admit that I really have zero interest in listening to anything that isn’t Life Is Good until Freddie Gibbs or Juicy J drop a new project. However, this bloggist shit is quite the responsibility, so write I must. Writing […]
Deen doesn’t believe in R&B duets. I’m gonna say this real quick: I don’t really listen to Jim Jones. Ever. Unless I have to. Ballin’ was a smash that brought us all together with a “dance” even the most uncoordinated among us could do. After all, he’s an ex-weed carrier best known for ruining Dipset, […]
Deen wishes Usher would sing about his Cavaliers stake more often. “3 Kings” is underwhelming as all the fucks in the world. I’m sorry. It’s beginning to feel as if I’m intentionally being douchey in regards to all things Rick Rawse, but I swear that isn’t the case. He’s just not bringing it. I ain’t […]
| MobbDeen: Robb Bank$, The Great Taupe Hope? | July 11, 2012 |
It took every ounce of restraint for Deen not to make an “It Wasn’t Me” joke. I’ll probably go into this at a later date, but a shockingly large amount of my favorite rap in 2012 has come from beige-colored rappers. I know, disappointing. I’m becoming more tolerant in my old age. I suppose the […]
| MobbDeen: Nas & Large Professor Go Loco | July 3, 2012 |
Deen’s only problem with the 90s is that the word “Fanute” had yet to be discovered. I could only listen to this once. But that’s because I’ve heard enough from Life Is Good at this point and want to salvage that initial listening experience by avoiding further leaks. Still. HOLY SHIT! This is excellent and […]
| MobbDeen: The Scarce Fridge of Rick Ross | July 3, 2012 |
Rick Ross asked for it, so Deen shall decree. Well. My first thought on Rozay’s “Hold Me Back” is that the hook sounds almost exactly like the hook from Wale & Meek Mill’s “Actin’ Up” off the new MMG compilation (for the record, that shit sucks – all of it, save 3 Meek verses and […]
| MobbDeen: Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – “Shame EP” | June 29, 2012 |
Deen has no shame. The latest salvo from Gibbs & Madlib ensures their batting average stays at a thousand. I’m far from surprised, but you know what they say about the best laid plans and all. Madlib provides the soulful soundscape (are we still required to reference RZA, ‘The Blueprint’, Kanye, Just Blaze and Bink […]
| MobbDeen: The Return of T.I. | June 27, 2012 |
Keep out of Deen’s business. Unless you’re planning on paying him for said business. To be fair, I wasn’t expecting T.I. to hop right back in the saddle as if nothing happened – you know, with the jail troubles and all – but I was beginning to get a bit worried for the man. After […]
| Mr. Mobbdeen Goes to a Pusha T Concert | June 26, 2012 |
Deen hath no fury. That’s a lie. I somehow ended up at a Pusha T concert over the weekend. This was not the plan, but it happened. Basically, I was watching LeBron eviscerate the Zombie Sonics in Game 5 the other night and like many other neutrals (read: Miami “Haters”), I got bored with the […]
