Tree Sunday School deluxe edition mixtape review
Tree Sunday School deluxe edition mixtape review by Dan-O Tree is someone you are going to absolutely love or despise. For a lot of people the kind of guttural vocal performance found on his new mixtape Sunday School will be linked to the movement of chorus dependent trap rap(in the Chief Keef realm) that seem…

Songs of the year-Hands on the Wheel
Schoolboy Q featuring A$AP ROCKY-Hands on the Wheel by Dan-O This is one of the most fantastically offensive rap songs not just of this year but of the decade. It’s a song so disgusted with itself and hostile that listening to it might make you want to punch the world in its ugly face. Schoolboy…

Mookie Jones-Mack
Mookie Jones-Mack by Dan O More than a few reasonable people would like to edit The Mack out of blaxploitation history along with the pimp rap it spawned. If hip hop is a culture it’s undoubtedly a family as well full of cousins you brag about and uncles you NEVER speak too. Pimp rap is…

Songs of the Year
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9c30QP9XzM Gucci Mane featuring Waka-Walking Lick by Dan-O Of all the most hated current rappers: Waka, Soulja Boy, Hurricane Chris (JUST KIDDING DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER HIM?) Ice Cream face is probably the most talented. Gucci can sit back and let the DJ have the first 30 seconds to say terribly annoying things, he’s that…

Museum mixtape review
Rashad-Museum review by Dan-O Most of the listeners who played Lincoln Way Nights: Intelligent Trunk Music in their vehicle found it hard to hate. It was a marriage that felt like it should last forever, the everyman insight raps of the likeable Stalley over the dusty thump of Rashad production. The two faded into each…

Lloyd Banks-V6:The Gift review
V6:The Gift mixtape review The problem with Lloyd Banks mixtapes is not simply a problem of misogyny. Lloyd Banks might have a very balanced and favorable view of the opposite sex. He certainly does not have one in regards to groupies. If you listen to early Banks verses on G-Unit tracks they were winks and…

Upon Further Examination—The HoustonReport
Upon Further Examination—The HoustonReport by Dan-O Any time all the artists from one region start releasing material claiming to bring their region back…the region is not doing well. A lot of time it’s a harmless device to show the MC as a Neo/Luke Skywalker figure. When everyone starts doing it you know it’s something more.…

songs of the year-Turnbuckle Music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so7KNpVk7RI Smoke Dza featuring Action Bronson-Turnbuckle Music I’m not sure what I love more, the deadpan Action Bronson first line “Once again this the quintessential stud muffin” or the fact that at some point in the process of making the years best pro-wrestling inspired song Smoke Dza and Bronson agreed that they REALLY needed a…

Problem-Welcome To Mollywood 2
by Dan-O Few artists have put the screws to me the way Problem has. He was supposed to be THE Cali Trap Rapper, which really didn’t work out. Problem started popping up on everyone’s track to drop fantastic hooks, and good guest verses. While asking people about him, explaining that I might give him a…

Joey Bada$$-1999
by Dan-O The day before I heard the debut Joey Bada$$ mixtape 1999 I was in Wal-mart talking about how staggeringly important Illmatic is. Not just that it’s a classic album but that a teenage street kid can go from unknown to burning lyrical imprints upon generations of listeners. For those that think of rap…
