Mixtape Review (Mashup edition)-American Godfather by Jay-Z & DJ Skee by Dan-O It bothers me that the mixtape revolution which gave us hip hop in its modern form is hard to find traces of. You can still scour datpiff archives but when I throw “Kush and OJ” through my Amazon unlimited search bar it comes backContinue reading “Mixtape Review(Mashup edition)-American Godfather by Jay-Z & DJ Skee”
Mixtape Review-The Cooligan by Scotty ATL
Mixtape Review-The Cooligan by Scotty ATL by Dan-O Being cool has nothing to do with style or taste. The icon of cool for a lot of Americans was Fonz on Happy Days but stylistically he wasn’t cool at all. He was set in the forties during the sixties; he looked silly to that audience. WhatContinue reading “Mixtape Review-The Cooligan by Scotty ATL”
Mixtape Review-Politically End Correct by Sy Ari Da Kid x Teauxny
Mixtape Review-Politically End Correct by Sy Ari Da Kid x Teauxny by Dan-O Fans of Sy Ari Da Kid are not in it for the production (typically mid tempo soul sample banger) or wild Jeezy like ad-libs. Sy isn’t trying to make music that plays in the background while you twerk. Those of us thatContinue reading “Mixtape Review-Politically End Correct by Sy Ari Da Kid x Teauxny”
Weekly Hip Hop-up
Weekly Hip Hop-up by Dan-O This week I digested a bunch of promising projects at very different stages of satisfaction. Let’s go over them.

Mixtape Review-The Iron Way by T-Pain
Mixtape Review-The Iron Way by T-Pain by Dan-O T-Pain is the Mozart of strip club music. No matter how many changes he has gone through I’ve never given up on him because I know that to be true.

Mixtape Review-Humble Hustle 3 by Young Moe
Mixtape Review-Humble Hustle 3 by Young Moe by Dan-O When I tell people that I adore Young Moe’s music they look at me cross-eyed. This is fully attributable to the fact that most people don’t know his music and he has a stupid name. The first time I was told of Moe’s awesomeness I certainlyContinue reading “Mixtape Review-Humble Hustle 3 by Young Moe”
Mixtape Review-Till The End of Summer by Villz
Mixtape Review-Till The End of Summer by Villz By Dan-O The post-Weeknd world of R&B can feel narcissistic and slimy. It’s often the reveling and recollecting of nefarious activities involving drugs, violence, and sex. Even the guilt espoused feels like a bit of brag. ALL THESE WOMEN ALL THIS MONEY; IS THIS LIFE? The weightContinue reading “Mixtape Review-Till The End of Summer by Villz”
Mixtape Review-Allegiance by Ya Boy Rich Rocka
Mixtape Review-Allegiance by Ya Boy Rich Rocka by Dan-O Nothing separates the coal from the diamonds like the grind.
