| Travis Scott’s Discomfort | September 18, 2014 |
When Brad Beatson dies, bury him with velour on Listening to Travi$ Scott is frustrating. He isn’t a great rapper like Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, or Migos—all of whom shine on Days Before Rodeo—but a stylist whose music sounds better in album format. Most of his songs are as scattershot as a random 5-minute sample from my average […]

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 […]

You remember the beat, though—Lil Wayne repurposed it as […]

The raps, triangulating America’s hotbeds, come from Young Thug, Freddie Gibbs and A$AP Ferg. As Son Raw […]

“My jewelry gold like the tokens at Chuck E. Cheese.” Quoth semi-professional gemologist, Jeffrey Williams. Thug raps like he’s only been eating weed brownies, Strawberry syrup and soda and molly for the last six months. His insides probably look like rotting pumpkin, but his raps are box cutter sharp. Wayne is the most obvious analogue, […]
