Projecting that big screen cinematic larger-than-life story can draw in a lot of fans. Starlito’s new mixtape Funerals and Court Dates feels more like a play, spotlight on him as the sad clown Pagliacci oscillating…

GUCCI MANE IS FME’S MVP OF 2012!!!
The only thing that is tiresome about Gucci Mane is the narrative that Rap critics have created for him. If there isn’t a reference to his ill-advised facial tattoo, his multiple stints in the clink, his one time stint in the mental hospital, or his altercation with a woman that resulted in her being ejected…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV0uWzrp_e4 Freestyles to free albums:the songs that got us there I-95 by Styles P by Dan-O I imagine if you bumped into 50 cent he would not only claim to have created the modern mixtape but the stapler and the cotton gin.

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…

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.

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…
