Adam Wray: continuing to ensure that Passion of the Weiss employs more Canadians than Tim Horton’s. There’s a lot of big talk about this Kendrick Lamar record. Classic, this. Voice of a generation, that. It means nothing. We have no idea how good kid m.A.A.d. city will stand the test of time. It looks and […]
Scott Leedy also endorses orange soda and E-40. I don’t know if GKMC is a classic. I don’t know if it’s the best album of the year. I don’t know if it’s the best rap album. I don’t know if it’s better than Section.80, and I don’t know how many listens it will take me […]

Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe A subdued slow jam with lyric acrobatics and odd nasal noise Backseat Freestyle Animalistic verses held together by a brutal chorus The Art of Peer Pressure Dangers […]
You know where Deen stands on those who are soy latte only. Disappointingly, our boy Rocky seems to have settled for the French Montana “Pop That” approach for his newest lead single. Also known as the “throw the kitchen sink of name recognition at em” approach. This shit isn’t nearly as cynical or derivative as […]

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 […]
