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.

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.

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.

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…
