| The Pinkprint & The Push Back: Nicki Minaj’s “Only” | November 5, 2014 |
Kyle Ellison hasn’t worn pink since Cam left the Roc. We’re now ten months into 2014 and the only Cash Money record you can buy in stores is the ironically titled Young Money compilation, Rise of an Empire.

| MobbDeen: Juicy J is Ballin’ Out Like the ’98 Lakers | August 8, 2014 |
Don’t make Deen push that button Oh hi! You really thought I wasn’t going to write about Juicy J’s new single? I’m offended but I’ll let it slide because playas fuck up too. Between the incessant promo on Twitter and the line-up on ‘Low’, it’s safe to assume that Juicy J and his label are […]

Brad Beatson knows it’s Monday. Sometimes, when I meet a woman who seems interested, I spout fiction as fact. I want to project where I think I’ll be rather than own up to where I’m at. I don’t think they want to hear about the drudgery of freelance work or the financial benefits of the dollar […]
| 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.
