Haiku Reviews: Pusha T’s “Wrath of Caine” | February 4, 2013 |
Slava P found out what happened to that Boy George cassette. What happened to Terrence Thornton? The braided half of the former “under-appreciated” (his words) pairing The Clipse has abandoned his daily rituals of working the Virginia corners and slinging cocaine in favor of flights to Hawaii with Kanye and building on his #menswear collection.

What’s the damn point in putting Future on a hook if you aren’t aiming for the charts? I mean, I fux with gritty and gully-sounding shit more than the next person, […]
Haiku Reviews: Kanye West’s “Cruel Summer” | September 18, 2012 |

September is the Cruelest Month: The Event Horizons and Turning Points of Kanye West | September 13, 2012 |
B. Michael Payne steps into the arena. It must feel weird being even a relatively old-school hip-hop head.
