Doc Zeus is from Cleveland. The mythology goes like this: there once was a rapper named Dwayne who was bold enough to claim that he was the “best rapper alive.” For a time, people believed him. Beginning with the release of Tha Carter, extending through an exhaustive collection of critically acclaimed mixtapes and guest appearances, […]

Slava P had a pocket full of ass whoopings, but unfortunately, there was a hole in it. The only thing people can agree upon when talking about Lil Wayne is that he’s incredibly polarizing. This partially lies in the fact that he’s an easy target for criticism with his absurd fashion choices, unexplainable passion for […]

This song is a genre of its own: Marble Floor, Ivory Pillar, Mount Olympus rap. Cold, hard, and gaudy. Regal and tacky at the same damn time.  This is the latest single from French Montana’s Excuse My French, which might actually do the unthinkable and excuse him from his sins of being the worst “hot” […]

I will defer to the YouTube commenter who claimed that Juicy J is a gangsta rap fairy godfather teaching the youth the secret to taking strippers home. Whoever wrote that is the greatest critic alive. When lexicographers study the meaning of the word “ratchet,” they will watch this video and the original gem that set […]

Slava P’s main problem is avoiding saying “Fuck DJ Khaled” in the last line of every haiku. So Dedicated feat. Birdman Start off strong; talk of refrigerated semen. The tone has been set. Same Damn Tune Pornographic bars detail exploits that no one asked to hear about. Cashed Out Poignant questions asked: “Who the fuck […]

Slava P occasionally gets J.R.R. Tolkien confused with Ace Hood. Shout Out To The Real – Meek Mill/ Ace Hood/ Piles An energetic trap jam — “over-trapped” by the addition of Piles Bitches And Bottles – Future/ T.I./ Lil’ Wayne Turn’ ignorance up. Legends (and Future) spit bars of no consequence I Wish You Would […]

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, […]

Jimmy Ness is well aware that this is the season of the ratchet. 2 Chainz, Drake, Future, Juicy J. Mike Will’s stellar production has steadily been tricking me into liking rappers I think I shouldn’t. My inner rap snob dies a little each time Juicy J’s strip club anthem knocks my ears, but this song’s […]
