This is all Deen knows. Well, that and Tort laws. New day, new Gibbs. What? You thought this song was here for any other reason? It’s pretty solid with or without Freddie aka “Mr. Mush-A-Loud-Mouf-Ho-Out-The-Apartment” Gibbs, but the Gangsta is the star attraction on this smooth cut. This time he runs the gamut from his […]
| MobbDeen: George Benson – “Give Me The Night” | August 9, 2012 |
Deen was and is advanced. I still remember the first time someone asked what kind of music I listened to. I wasn’t quite as much of a music nerd as I am now (I was about 8 or 9), but I already had a pretty cool answer for my age: “all kinds of stuff – […]
| MobbDeen: Trinidad James, Safety Last | August 8, 2012 |
Deen wrote this in a fit of peak. Trinidad James makes one hell of a first impression, so I’ll offer apologies in advance for all the (probably ill-fitting) comparisons I’m about to make. That’s what happens when you don’t know shit about a rapper other than he’s from Atlanta. That cover is ridiculously great. Evokes […]
| MobbDeen: Trademark Da Skydiver – Anxious… | August 6, 2012 |
You say no to ratchets, MobbDeen can’t. This isn’t the best song on Trademark’s latest mixtape, Flamingo Barnes, but it’s the perfect excuse for me to let y’all in on a rap bloggist secret: writing about Bob James’ “Nautilus” is always a good and convenient starting point for a post. I shouldn’t have written that, […]
| 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: The-Dream and Pusha T Do Dope | July 18, 2012 |
The-Dream “Dope Bitch” from IDJVID on Vimeo. Deen fanuted “Fanute” into the New York Times. What have you done? I present the best use of copious amounts of baby powder since Ashy Larry last graced our television screens. Which begs the question; “can the video channels even air this shit?” Which in turn begs another […]
| 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 […]
