| The 50 Best Hip-Hop Songs of 2012 (#25-1) | December 18, 2012 |
Previously: Passion of the Weiss Top 50 Hip Hop Songs, 2012 (#50-26) Passion of the Weiss Top Hip Hop Songs — 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 25. Azealia Banks – “1991” As much as Azealia Banks’s Twitter is the worst thing on the internet and the blogosphere’s obsession with her Twitter is the second […]
| MobbDeen: Ray Cash Requires Your Company… | December 12, 2012 |
Deen is back at full volume. It looks as if Ray Cash might actually wanna make a decent fist of this rap shit again. Pause? He disappeared for a long minute after his debut album and made a quiet return of sorts with 2011’s Champagne Talk and last February’s Don King mixtapes, then he went […]
| MobbDeen: The Rising Ubiquity Of Love Sosa… | December 7, 2012 |
Deen is trippy by prescription. Whenever you read this, I can guarantee that I’ll be woozy as fuck off high–powered prescription painkillers, given that I just underwent fairly major surgery (yes, I’m good and thanks for asking.) Boring side note; yes, this pill is making me sweat. WOO! I wrote that to write this: for […]
With Deen on-board, Passion of the Weiss will stomp out Richard E. Gordon for Best Webmaster. Decent humans would call these “honorable mentions.” But I’m neither human nor decent. I don’t believe in labels – when applied to me, myself, I and personally. They definitely work for everybody and everything else though. Not that I […]
| MobbDeen: Rap Geniusing 103 — Roc Marciano’s “Thread Count” | November 19, 2012 |
Deen has yet to record a shirtless “freestyle.” So I’ve been listening to this new Roc Marciano album quite a bit. It’s quite good. I can pretty much guarantee that you’ll be reading a review around these parts soon enough. Just not from me. I’m lazy and lack the depth required to reflect on rap […]
| MobbDeen: Shooting Dice w/ Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson | November 14, 2012 |
Catch Deen in Atlantic City, blowing nothing less than 50. I pride myself on listening to as much music as possible. If it’s on rap blog somewhere, I’ll probably listen to it. Time gets scarcer, but I think I make an honest effort to listen to as much new shit as possible while maintaining gainful […]
| MobbDeen: The Video for Freddie Gibbs’ “BFK.” Or How To Set Your Project Off. The Right Way… | November 12, 2012 |
Deen stays ’bout it. Hey there. It’s your resident Freddie Gibbs stan again. Call me biased, but Baby Face Killa hasn’t left the rotation since it dropped. But you already knew that. In any event, Fredericko decided to shoot a video for one of my favorite tracks on the mixtape – “BFK.” The second I […]
| Mobb Deen: Swizz Beatz, Chris Brown & Ludacris’ “Everyday Birthday” or A Muddled Defense of Swizz Beatz | November 7, 2012 |
I think I get why you hate Swizz Beatz. Maybe I don’t, but I’ll try anyway. Is it the fact that a 17 year old figured out how to make a ton of money off the basic shitty Casio keyboards we all owned, by making alternately good and shitty beats for the last decade and […]
| MobbDeen: On “Freedom” and Bi-Polar Appreciation of Nicki Minaj | November 6, 2012 |
Deen’s voting for Sosa. Nicki Minaj confuses me on so many levels. From wanting to bang her, to being kinda disgusted by her, to defending her music to straight shittin’ on it, Nicki has this observer halfway bi-polar. In my defense, it’s her fault. She made that really interesting album that started with about six […]
