This is how you do it. Be groomed by two enchanting stylists with an outstretched wingspan: Christ-like, hirsute, glorious. Ride in a spaceship, but miraculously survive its destruction. Invincibility isn’t an acquired skill. You have it or you don’t. Escape on a jet fueled fire breathing metallic goose dragon waving an American flag a la […]

We are not in the business of posting every song from every rapper. Leave that to the thirsty vultures who need to be regularly doused in Gatorade (or something worse). But there’s rules to this shit. I haven’t made myself a manual, but when Action Bronson and Alchemist drop a song called “Big League Chew,” […]

As much as we malign rap for sport and clicks, it’s a solid sign for the genre’s health when the capitols are flourishing. LA and New York and Chicago and Atlanta are all amidst minor renaissances. This isn’t anything new, but the popular perception of New York as an overrated convalescent home feels obsolete (at […]

Max Bell is cruising in the whip with Gene Shalit, eating scallops. Fighting fans and security guards. Rapping in port-o-potties. Throwing weed,  TVs, and video game consoles into crowds. Consorting with Big Body Bes. To some, Action Bronson could seem “eccentric.” Hence, the second single off of his March 24th VICE/Atlantic debut, Mr. Wonderful, is “Actin […]

Recommended for the car thieves, miscellaneous flockers, getaway drivers, black lunged, paranoid vagrants, gun runners, strudel connoisseurs, wearers of both loose and tight pants, and fans of rap music. Danny and Bronson, beat by Al, from the GTA V soundtrack. Enjoy with a coffee and a danish with a chisel concealed inside it.

This year Halloween fell on a weekend.

All in for the Freddie Gibbs and Action Bronson remake of Miami Vice. Bam Bam in all white like Don Johnson. Freddie Gibbs transforming Tubbs into an Adidas sweat-suited real killer and drug dealer. I’m unsure the last time anyone bought a nickel bag out in weed-liberated Southern California, but I’m sure it exists — […]

Peter Holslin smoked weed with Peter Fonda in 1969 Action Bronson is as Action Bronson does. The Queens rapper’s new song, “Easy Rider,” doesn’t have any fancy choruses or glossy radio-ready hooks or any of that stuff. But that’s not the kind of thing one would expect from the guy who once rapped over the […]

Brad Beatson is trying to get that Puff Daddy Money UPDATE: Episode 3 “White Trash Bruschetta and Henny Wings” In London, Bronson’s lost in translation while snacking on the world’s best pork buns and crushing room service. With the pinky out, he gets the finest lamb at the kebab house that could cure Magic’s cough, and taste tests beigels with […]

Brad Beatson turns down only for freedom.  In the summer, I’m looking to push play on a playlist and let it ride. It’s too beautiful out. And I know it’s inevitable that some drunken fingertips will hijack the music at some point to play what they want to. So this is my grand attempt at […]
