  Mixtape Review-I’m Gay (I’m Happy) by Lil B

  by Dan-O The reason to look back on this release from June 29th 2011 is because too many people know Lil B as a jovial cult leader. I ask the younger people in my office about him and they know him for his social media presence but not his work. He’s been an incredible producer and […]

  Mixtape Review-#TDT by Big K.R.I.T.

  Mixtape Review-#TDT by Big K.R.I.T. by Dan-O I would love to talk to Drake. When he went on Lebron James HBO show The Shop he was asked about the legacy of a truly great artist namely how to assess the ups and downs. The point he made has stuck with me, for Drake, a great artist […]

  Mixtape Review-Savage Holidays by Boosie Badazz

  Mixtape Review-Savage Holidays by Boosie Badazz by Dan-O Savage Holidays is the greatest Christmas rap album of all time. The ability of Boosie to be able to take his superpower (turning painful stories/imagery into stadium sized anthems) and apply it to the holiday season is nothing short of exhilarating. It is not just his pain either. At the end […]

  Song of The Year-Slapbox by Conway The Machine produced by Daringer

  Song of The Year-Slapbox by Conway The Machine produced by Daringer by Dan-O You can’t just call him Conway. He’s The Machine for a reason. When the beat comes on and his mouth starts it feels 100% organic like no pen has been picked up no plans have been made(This isn’t just how he sounds […]

  Mixtape Review-4 Respect by Kevin Gates & Youngboy Never Broke Again

  Mixtape review-4 Respect by Kevin Gates & Youngboy Never Broke Again by Dan-O Hip hop people say the same thing to each other about Kevin Gates. We look at each other with a head scratchers facial expression and say “I think he’d be one of the best rappers in the world if he wasn’t…crazy.” Anyone who heard […]

  Mixtape Review-Doll Szn by Asian Doll

  Mixtape Review-Doll Szn by Asian Doll by Dan-O The intro track (Doll Szn Intro) on the mixtape Doll Szn does a spectacular job establishing who Asian Doll is for anyone coming late to the party. Immediately after you press play she vents and tears away the preconceptions you may bring to this music. She knows […]

  Mixtape Review(Mashup edition)-American Godfather by Jay-Z & DJ Skee

  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 back […]

  Mixtape Review-The Program by Cam’ron

  Mixtape Review-The Program by Cam’ron by Dan-O I may have been more excited for this mixtape than I have been for any all year. While people can consider Cam out of the spotlight, past his prime, whatever way you want to say rap has “passed him by” I disagree.  1. Rap hasn’t passed him it […]

  Mixtape Review-The Motivational Speech by Curren$y & Lex Luger

  Mixtape Review-The Motivational Speech by Curren$y & Lex Luger by Dan-O Simple story: 2 critically important figures in the history of hip hop link up and prove to the world why they had the power to change it in the first place. If you roll back through Luger’s best beats none of them are timestamped […]

  Mixtape Review-Jugg King by Young Scooter

  Mixtape Review-Jugg King by Young Scooter by Dan-O From afar I like Young Scooter. When I think about how much trap has changed and how much Scooter’s new mixtape Jugg King is right in the pocket of F.B.G. The Movie mixtape from 2013 my overactive mind wanders. Does Scooter see these new happier trappers and […]
