Song Review-Money Counter by Two-9 produced by Charlie Heat
Song Review-Money Counter by Two-9 produced by Charlie Heat by Dan-O This whole who-killed-who-on-the-track way of thinking is post-Eminem v. Jay on Renegade(on The Blueprint). That’s not how we listened to rap music when real groups existed. To be honest my favorite groups were the ones where I never thought about whose verse I wasContinue reading “Song Review-Money Counter by Two-9 produced by Charlie Heat”

Song Review-Gone Girl by Vado produced by Deelockit313 & Mandalae Didd
Song Review-Gone Girl by Vado produced by Deelockit313 & Mandalae Didd by Dan-O I’ve always thought it was strange that the NY goon rappers of old would wear Godfather persona’s and lecture (or sometimes just shout) about respect and honor and loyalty, then snicker at how dirty they were doing the women they were dating.Continue reading “Song Review-Gone Girl by Vado produced by Deelockit313 & Mandalae Didd”
EP Review-Skate Life by Black Dave
EP Review-Skate Life by Black Dave by Dan-O New York is jam packed with “underground” artists. I throw quotations because some artists choose the stylistic definition of the word and some artists just don’t have what it takes for the spotlight (but really do yearn for it) and are still called underground. Is Rass KassContinue reading “EP Review-Skate Life by Black Dave”

Song of The Year-Private Room by Niko Is produced by Thanks Joey or My Pitch for you to buy the Brutus LP by Dan-O In an ideal world I would go four thousand words deep on the Brutus LP.

Mixtape retrospective: looking back on Drake’s So Far Gone
Mixtape retrospective: looking back on Drake’s So Far Gone by Dan-O So Far Gone is like a mixtape rubik’s cube. I keep picking it up and listening and getting confused; how do people like this? It seems needy and emotional but not thoughtful. Drake was constantly referencing women but not with any distinct intelligent thingsContinue reading “Mixtape retrospective: looking back on Drake’s So Far Gone”
Song Review-The Devil is Alive (Lucifer pt. 2) by B. Dolan
Song Review-The Devil is Alive (Lucifer pt. 2) by B. Dolan by Dan-O On the original The Devil is a Lie (found on Ross’s 2014 album Mastermind) Jay-z and Ross take very different approaches. Jay’s verse is about how ridiculous it is to think of him as a devil worshiping illuminati official/evil genius, he makes the caseContinue reading “Song Review-The Devil is Alive (Lucifer pt. 2) by B.
