Mixtape Review-In Tune We Trust by Lil Wayne
Mixtape Review-In Tune We Trust by Lil Wayne by Dan-O Looking back on what Wayne accomplished is shocking, even if you start at 2007. By the end of 2008 he had sold 2.88 million copies of Carter III and changed how pop rap albums sound forever. He created the pop mixtape market with his Dedication…

Mixtape Review-Red Corolla by Domo Genesis
Mixtape Review-Red Corolla by Domo Genesis by Dan-O Odd Future turned out to be a pretty awesome buffet of talent you could pick and choose from. I chose Domo Genesis from the very beginning, a no nonsense rappers rapper with an endless appetite to spit. When Domo put his debut album out last year he…

Mixtape Review-Meekend Music by Meek Mill
Mixtape Review-Meekend Music by Meek Mill by Dan-O The notion that your diss song is better so you kill your opponent’s careers is as real as Santa. Santa is grounded in a real factual dude from who cares how long ago who did stuff for his neighborhood but that dude is gone. The notion that…

Song of The Year-Like A Rockstar by Kodie Shane featuring Saucy Longwe produced by Matty P, Stonii Tha Melody God & D. Clax
Song of The Year-Like A Rockstar by Kodie Shane featuring Saucy Longwe produced by Matty P, Stonii Tha Melody God & D. Clax by Dan-O Kodie Shane’s new mixtape is called Big Trouble Little Jupiter and it is a great example of why Atlanta WINS. Atlanta is the epicenter of weird (in my opinion the…

Nick Grant and The Hip Hop Cultural Divide
Nick Grant and The Hip Hop Cultural Divide by Dan-O A lot of hip hop’s most important cultural “beefs” are forced onto it from the audience and not actually a problem the artists have. The west coast/east coast beef comes to mind as an example. What is happening right now is the great splitting of…

Mixtape Review-1017 Vs. The World by Gucci Mane & Lil Uzi Vert
Mixtape Review-1017 Vs. The World by Gucci Mane & Lil Uzi Vert by Dan-O Gucci Mane is the Hunter S Thompson of hip hop. While I love Hunter I have never done drugs so I have very few people I can actually share that love with. People get swept up in the drugs and the…

Mixtape Review-AD & Sorry Jaynari-By The Way
Mixtape Review-AD & Sorry Jaynari-By The Way by Dan-O Energy creates energy. No matter how popular the grim and gritty brooding album is (for showing the wounded humanity of its narrator) to a fan base desperate to connect with dark secrets; it lives that way in contrast to energy projects and it will always need…

Mixtape Review-All or Nothing: Live It Up by Lloyd Banks
Mixtape Review-All or Nothing: Live It Up by Lloyd Banks by Dan-O Hillary Clinton and Lloyd Banks are more similar than you might think. In the same way the public looked at Hillary confused for staying with Bill after all the cheating, expecting her to explode in front of us, Lloyd was called out publicly…

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…

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…
