Deen’s rap name is Fanute Bol. Hello there. Every so often, even we get a little jaded with all the brilliant musical analysis and criticism we provide here at Passion of the Weiss. Yes, it’s true. Sometimes, music critics and bloggists just want to chill, put away a few sliders and read a copy of […]
Deen is wary of the Maghreb region of the South Bronx. I suppose I should blame myself for expecting something decent outta French Montana. I should know better. I mean, the guy is a mildly slow drunkard worth more money than I am – that’s essentially my boss too and I don’t expect anything good […]
If you ever use the phrase ‘grown n’ sexy,’ around Deen, he will splash lava in your eyes. So yeah. Due to the mass induced delusions that Rick Rawse inflicted on otherwise reasonable folks during Spring/Summer 2010 with the twin salvos of ‘MC Hammer’ and ‘B.M.F.’, we’ve (who are we?) all come to the realization […]
| FAT TAPE- FEB 2012 | February 29, 2012 |
Herein lies Abe Beame’s take on the Oscars. DOWNLOAD: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qv3199 Kendrick Lamar- Cartoons and Cereal: Apparently, Section 80 was his Southernplayalistic. Flatbush Zombiez- Thug Waffles: I’m not late on this it just took a minute to track down a working link. These guys grew up a few blocks away from my crib, but one does […]
| Ring Ring: Rick Ross is “Rich Forever” | January 19, 2012 |
Jonah Bromwich knows Herbert Hoover. The real Herbert Hoover. It’s safe to say that no one really thinks that Mike Tyson is still cool. So when Rick Ross, liver of the most exquisite of lifestyles and all-around ambawseador includes a quote from Iron Mike about a change in priorities at the start of his new […]
| The Contempt and Conscience of Pusha T’s “Fear of God II” | November 9, 2011 |
Jonah Bromwich only fears Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god. Rick Ross shows up on the penultimate song of Pusha T’s new album, Fear of God II. His presence underscores an important distinction between Pusha and the round mound of lavish sound. You see, we all know Rick Ross never really dealt drugs. Now Rozay has […]
Evan Nabavian does not believe that Lil Twist is the Shyheim of Young Money. Boss that he is, Rick Ross knew when assembling his team of future bosses that Maybach Music Group needed a lady boss for massive crossover boss appeal. Murder Inc. had Ashanti, G-Unit had Olivia, and even Game had a hook-singing sweetheart […]
| Blowing Fog in the Taj Mahal | July 29, 2011 |
The “Hood Gone Love It” remix has been getting heavy rotation outside the hood — at least on a Friday in July. Jay Rock exists in an endearing state of aggression. Birdman raps like he fathered Lil B’s style, which he did. And there is the Officer. On one meaty hand, there is the cartoonish, […]
Evan Nabavian is in all likelihood, one of the best forever. DJ Khaled’s ringtone is his 2010 single “All I Do Is Win.” T-Pain’s voice reverberates down the closed off Miami street and Khaled answers like a customer service rep, with a casual, “We the best.” He starts peppering Cool from Cool & Dre about […]
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 […]
