Slava P is the blog game, Aleksandr Petrovsky See Ab-Soul rap over a flipped” Last of a Dying Breed” beat and use polysyllabic words to say nothing at all. See Ab-Soul use elementary lyrical-miracles to maintain his rank as the second-least charismatic rapper on TDE with “Only 1.” See Ab’s Soul. I’m not saying that […]

Slava P’s favorite Dalmation is Pongo. Intro Ambient set-up to an album whose cover you have to replace. Paperbond Fame means you never need to admit what your song titles really mean.

Slava P records Gypsy Bossa Nova under the alias, Matthieu Boulevardier You know what I’m thankful for? The revival of the concept album. Coming into 2012, the concept of a concept album seemed to be all but dead, replaced by the overwhelming stench of swag and ratchet pussy. So, I’m thankful that artists like Killer […]

Slava Pastuk was on the Rihanna Jet. Spiritually.  Fresh Out the Runway Grating synth noises and overexcited drums make for Minaj-lite Diamonds Gaudy but catchy with sparkles of brilliance, logic excluded. Numb Drowned and low sirens with droning vocals, aided by “Slaughterhouse Em”

Slava P doesn’t understand the question and won’t respond to it. Even though you’ve probably never heard of Atlanta’s Key!, ‘Guess Who’ feels comfortably familiar. It sounds like what would happen if A$AP Rocky wrote a snap-dance song ($napdance?). The greatest songs are the ones that you can’t help but memorize. The songs that grab […]

Slava P ordered the Kobe beef like Shaq. When Chief Keef wrote and shot the video for “Kobe,” he probably didn’t imagine the Lakers’ season going quite like this. Then again, if the rumors about Keef’s underlying Aspergers affliction are to be believed, he probably wasn’t thinking about much, save for how to stay away […]

Vote Slava P for Assistant Bailiff in the 343rd Municipal District of Lower Manhattan. If there’s anything I learned this year, it’s that Toyota would love for all of you hip urban youth out there to buy a Scion. How else do you explain them releasing both a Fool’s Gold mixtape and a music video […]

Slava P’s favorite jig is the Charleston. How would you celebrate the release of an album that was both critically applauded and sold 241k units in its first week? Kendrick decided to do it by dropping free music completely separate from the GKMC canon and serves as an introduction to his new collaborative efforts with the sultan of […]

SLAVA P CAN’T CONTROL THE VOLUME OF HIS VOICE Dreams & Nightmares ESCALATING KEYS AND A SIGNATURE CADENCE SET THE STAGE PROPER In God We Trust SINCERE STREET GAME PLEAS ABOUT CASH, OR LACK THEREOF. SURPRISED IT’S ROSS-FREE. Young & Getting It feat. Kirko Bangz VALU-PACK DRIZZY MEETS THE ANGRIEST ROBOT, SAD ATTEMPT ENSUES

Slava P is like the Where’s Waldo of Double Entrendres. Abel Tesfaye was the feel good story of 2011, coming out of Toronto to hypnotize the world with his falsetto drug-crooning and tales of borderline rape. He parlayed these talents into a deal with Universal and an album release scheduled for later this year. All […]
