Weezy Appreciation Week Playlist
Weezy Appreciation Week Playlist by Dan-O We don’t appreciate people in the moment. I think that’s ok. The moment can be tricky, you miss things. Wayne has been in the game so long it would be criminal not to look back at all that he has accomplished. Tha Carter 2-Best Rapper Alive Known as his…

LATE PASS Mixtape Review-Imperial by Denzel Curry
LATE PASS Mixtape Review-Imperial by Denzel Curry by Dan-O Everyone should like Denzel Curry. If you’re a hip hop purist than you hate biters, people who can easily be traced into others. Success breeds copying so you can find a lot of rappers in New York who sound like Jay and a lot of yelling…

Song of The Year-Holy Key by DJ Khaled featuring Kendrick Lamar & Big Sean
Song of The Year-Holy Key by DJ Khaled featuring Kendrick Lamar & Big Sean by Dan-O A lot of people consider Khaled any number of things: hilarious, vicious self-promotor, someone who flips on his friends in favor of newer, hotter names. His new album Major Key is absolutely the hip hop light show it set…

#BandcampGold-Blue Moon by Essence
#BandcampGold-Blue Moon by Essence by Dan-O I was so excited for my wife to see Essence perform. The show was set up so acts work on different stages and trade off in a round robin. Each performer had several sets. After the first Essence set my wife gave me the description of Maine’s most important…

#SpotifyTidalAppleMusicgold-Songs.4.People.Who.Break.Promises by Niko Is by Dan-O As dominant as the genre is, it suffers.

Song of The Year-Winner$ by Scotty ATL featuring Cyhi The Prince produced by Toomp by Dan-O If someone asked me (no one ever asks me questions this specific) who the next hip hop mega-star from Atlanta will be I would answer Scotty ATL. I’m not saying he’s going to be a name; he’s already a…

Song of The Year-Super Crip by Snoop Dogg produced by Just Blaze
Song of The Year-Super Crip by Snoop Dogg produced by Just Blaze by Dan-O I’m not going to waste any time trying to convince you that Snoop Dogg’s new album Coolaid is remarkable and one of the best albums of 2016. If you’re reading this it’s likely that your image of Snoop is very close…

Mixtape Review-Summer on Sunset by Wale
Mixtape Review-Summer on Sunset by Wale by Dan-O The tastemakers (a relatively small group of middle aged white dudes) decided a long time ago to wash their hands of Wale. Post-backpacker he embraced more of the uncomfortable/odd/off-putting elements of himself. Going to Maybach Music allowed him to make weird (maybe weird isn’t strong enough) sex jokes and…

Worst Song of The Year-Juice by Future
Worst Song of The Year-Juice by Future by Dan-O Future released his new mixtape Project E.T. it’s a DJ Esco mixtape but it’s obviously Future. Stereogum and Pitchfork (& others) are saying that Future sounds tired. This is code. He doesn’t actually sound like he needs to catch 8 more hours under silk sheets or…
