A story of two compilations
A story of two compilations by Dan-O Try to remember the last hip hop compilation album anyone was impressed by. The Self-Made series just seem to highlight how artificially put together MMG feels, if you go back to the G-Unit compilation it was the first indicator of how limited G-unit was conceptually. Preconceptions destroy the compilation;…

Freestyles to free albums:the songs that got us there by Dan-O If you know Tru Life it could be for the wrong reason, stabbings in 2009, a fatalists relationship to beef dvds.

Starlito-Funerals and Court Dates Mixtape review
Starlito-Funerals & Court Dates Mixtape review by Dan-O It’s become pretty commonplace to hear a rapper call out that they make movies.

My Case for The Most Improved Artist of 2012
My Case for The Most Improved Artist of 2012 by Dan-O I wrote one of the most unkind reviews I’ve ever done about GLC’s I Know Who You Pimped Last Summer 2011 mixtape. Music is not mathematics where the components combined will always equal the same thing, so I have no problem stating GLC is…

Snow Tha Product-GNBM Mixtape Review
Snow Tha Product-GNBM Mixtape Review by Dan-O The task of being a female MC can seem insurmountable. If you are not sexy enough, no one cares about you. If you are too sexy, you are setting a bad example for the children and for society. The female MC not only has to be ill enough…

Songs of the Year-Life by Philthy Rich featuring Scarface&Allen Anthony
Life by Philthy Rich featuring Scarface &Allen Anthony by Dan-O This track is off of Philthy Rich’s Thizzler.com exclusive Not Enough Real N#$%%’s Left mixtape. P.

Niko Is-Chill Cosby mixtape review
Niko Is-Chill Cosby mixtape review by Dan-O(with strong assist from D.L.) Once I saw the phrase “Rio de Janeiro-born, Florida-based emcee” used to describe Niko Is on DJ Booth.net I knew that I had to hear his new mixtape, Chill Cosby. I did some backtracking and after listening found his Chill Nye mixtape from February…
