Song of the year-Book of Soul by Ab-Soul
Song of the year-Book of Soul by Ab-Soul by Dan-O When I was deployed to assist an infantry training unit in the early 2000’s the Nas v. Jay debate was at its literal height. Stillmatic had just dropped and Blueprint had already changed the way beats were made. The entire platoon broke in half and…

French Montana-Mac & Cheese 3 mixtape review
French Montana-Mac & Cheese 3 mixtape review by Dan-O French Montana’s new mixtape Mac & Cheese 3 might be the most aptly named tape of the year. It’s cheap, digestible, and enjoyable even, but not at all your best food possibility (in a financial boon). Montana makes the best case for guilty pleasure an artist…

Songs of the year-Mean by Rain
Songs of the year-Mean by Rain by Dan-O The song title is the perfect answer to the question “What changed from Magic Hour 2 to 3?” Rain is Mean on damn near every track on Magic Hour 3 and the beats race to keep up with him throughout. He produced this one himself and regardless…

I-20 The Intermission mixtape review
I-20 The Intermission mixtape review by Dan-O A survey was done in my high school (the reason no one knows) and the female students all voted humor as the most attractive trait in a romantic companion. I was young and snickering, thinking “These football players ain’t that funny.” Some of our accepted opinions are a…

Smoke Dza-KONY review
Smoke Dza-KONY review by Dan-O Seeing Smoke Dza live is one of my most unforgettable concert experiences. It was a few years ago and he was opening for Curren$y, Fiend and the Jet Life crew. At that time I had him pegged as a weirdo, a NY rapper with a strange southern delivery who never…

Songs of the Year-Invisible Girl by T-Pain
Songs of the Year-Invisible Girl by T-Pain by Dan-O I’ve accepted the terms of my relationship to T-Pain. His albums are going to be mediocre to bad; on those albums will be placed two, three or more outstanding songs. Of those one will be a titanic smash for me that I could take time off…

Freddie Gibbs #BFK mixtape review
Freddie Gibbs #BFK mixtape review by Dan-O On a handful of occasions I’ve closed my eyes and listened to a Freddie Gibbs verse as if I was listening to the next Kool G Rap. Someone who would redefine tough talk for a new generation; that’s a great vision but G Rap never had to refine…

Songs of the Year-Forrest Gump by Frank Ocean
Songs of the Year-Forrest Gump by Frank Ocean by Dan-O Do you know how much I love this song? I despise this movie with a passion that has made me unpopular. I don’t even like Odd Future. When you hear the organ, the heart felt delivery of each word, the unique perspective it’s written from,…

The WHOevers-Redtape review
The WHOevers-Redtape review by Dan-O My biggest fascination with The Whoevers-Redtape might be the theme. The cover is red with the iconic picture of Dr. J and Larry Bird in their famous 80’s choke pose. The first track (Walk These Dogs-Voodoo) uses Celtics legend and courtside homer Tommy Heinsohn along with his robot commentating partner for…
