| Mr. MFN eXquire, El-P, and Gucci Mane Walk Into a Space Cantina | October 11, 2012 |
Don’t ask me what Universal is thinking. We’re better off being happy that for once, a corporation isn’t focused on negatively warping creation. Mr. MFN eXquire never struck me as a mainstream rap star. Even if he wouldn’t interpret that as a compliment, it’s meant to be. Husky BK rappers with a love of Def […]
| Review: Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire – “Merry eXmas” | January 9, 2012 |
Jonah Bromwich doesn’t order well drinks. You could be forgiven for thinking that Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire has changed. If you didn’t delve too deeply into Lost In Translation, you may have found it fun: loud, lewd, and full of absurdist fantasies and shots of vodka. But there was dirty, stark realism at the core of […]
| Video: Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire ft. El-P, Danny Brown, Das Racist, Despot – “The Last Huzzah” | September 21, 2011 |
1. Bonus points for the homage to the “Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)” 2. Lucky Charms are delicious and are a severely underutilized rap video resource. 3. Despot doesn’t look like a Despot. Maybe Fielding Melish. 4. Das Racist will probably never be my thing but the guy in the group with the Rozay beard […]
| Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire – “Lost in Translation” | September 11, 2011 |
Bootleg liquor on a Sunday night. I don’t know if eXquire has next but he raps like he snaps necks and that is very important. “Maltese Falcon” is my favorite song because I am a Sam Spade stan, but there is a lot to get lost in here. Highly recommended. Download: ZIP: Mr. MFN eXquire-Lost […]

Due to deadlines, I’ve been off the Internet all day, so I don’t know how many bloggers labeled this beat post-Young L and bas(s)ed. Not quite. Instead, eXquire continues to mine rare gems, excavating some dystopian funk from the Co Flow instrumental opus, Little Johnny from the Hospital.. Add that to the Fear and Loathing […]
| Publicists Ask ‘What’s Your Gimmick,’ I Said ‘Going In’ | June 23, 2011 |
If nothing else, the last year has been validation for the Def Jukies that resented the post-2004 media misrepresentation that they were nothing more than arrhythmic spaceship rappers with a Thesaurus. Between Can Ox and Camu Tao, they held down the cool black nerd template throughout most of the last decade, despite most critics treating […]
