Twas an inevitability that the combination of Juicy J and Pill(s) would mix well. Jordan Houston is for the children. For someone so wholly irresponsible, he is a medicine chest full of good advice. This is what happens when you’ve been making money since 92. Carry a money bag at all times. Never be envious. […]

Doc Zeus’s municipal marvelousity has yet to be magnificently memorialized. Listening to Maybach Music Group’s Self-Made Vol. 1 can be described in a series of short words that may or may not have been used by Rick Ross on the actual album: astonishing, wonderment, immaculateness, impeccability, magnificentience, flawlessment, superlativery, gloriousic and amazitude. Like Xanadu and […]

Scene 9- Annie Hall from logan lemberger on Vimeo. Because Kanye West and Jay-Z love Pill, but hate Hebrews, they have graced us with their latest single, “H.A.M.” We are ordered to hail to the throne, but some of us follow the scriptures of Supreme Clientele: “y’all know how we dine, but we don’t eat […]

Until I finish the behemoth of a story that I’m currently working on, my contributions might very well be limited to posting up new mixtapes.

The last decade was the 80s redux, so it’s natural that the next one will be defined by 90s nostalgia.  You can see it everywhere. From the 8-bit beats booming out of Bristol (Joker, Guido, Gemmy), the Low End Theory, and Hyperdub’s latest linchpin, Ikonika. Or examine the child-like chillwavers, continually fascinated by cassette tapes, […]

Lost last week in the 45-post a day, ad impression shuffle was the video for Freddie Gibbs and Pill’s “Womb 2 the Tomb,” an instant-classic from Freddie Gibbs’ instant-classic mixtape, Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzick. Directed by Skee TV go-to-director, Matt Alonzo, the almost five minute clip is a mini tour de force: a gothic, grainy, black and white […]

Continuing the recurring gastrointestinal sub-plot started with his “Trap Goin’ Ham” video, Pill debuts “Cooking with Pill.”  The 4th Ward’s finest is one of the only rappers on earth that can get away with making a “Big Boy” with honey buns. Funny stuff and seemingly delicious, but I wish that rappers expanded the spectrum of […]

You can’t trust a rapper who can’t roll a good blunt. You can trust Freddie Gibbs. During the 48 hours prior to his show with Atlanta Grind Time Rap Gang affiliate, Pill, Gibbs rolled the best blunts I’ve seen since the last time I kicked it in New York with Disco Vietnam. Durable Duracell blunts […]
