| Juicy J, 2 Chainz and Trina Believe in Having Sex | January 31, 2013 |
Almost a quarter century after their heyday, 2 Live Crew samples remain the best non-chemical party starters. File this track under: if you liked “Pop That” and “Bandz a Make Her Dance….” I like that Trina obviously recorded her verse before 2 Chainz was added to the song. I like idea of a strip club […]

| Passion of the Weiss Presents: Full Grainz — The Best of DJ Mustard, Mixed by Son Raw | November 29, 2012 |
In one year, DJ Mustard went from practically anonymous to $20,000 a beat. That’s how it goes. All you need is one hit and Mustard’s “Rack City” became Las Vegas’ most significant cultural contribution since Fear and Loathing (or maybe “Leaving Las Vegas:” Sheryl Crow edition.) But at home in Los Angeles, Mustard had earned […]
| Mount Olympus Rap: Tiptoeing on Marble Floors with French Montana, 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne & Ricardo Rozay | November 26, 2012 |
This song is a genre of its own: Marble Floor, Ivory Pillar, Mount Olympus rap. Cold, hard, and gaudy. Regal and tacky at the same damn time. This is the latest single from French Montana’s Excuse My French, which might actually do the unthinkable and excuse him from his sins of being the worst “hot” […]
| MobbDeen: ASAP Rocky – Fucking Problem (featuring a Rap Focus Group Tried, Tested & Approved Trio)… | October 19, 2012 |
You know where Deen stands on those who are soy latte only. Disappointingly, our boy Rocky seems to have settled for the French Montana “Pop That” approach for his newest lead single. Also known as the “throw the kitchen sink of name recognition at em” approach. This shit isn’t nearly as cynical or derivative as […]
| Revelations and Questions That Occur Upon Watching 2 Chainz’s “Birthday Song” on Your Birthday | October 2, 2012 |
Today is my birthday. Henceforth… Watching this video forces even the most optimistic souls to confront their own mortality. It makes you wonder where you’d like to be buried. Do I want to be turned into a pile of gold dust encased in glass at the Louis Vuitton Store? Or would I prefer to be […]
| American Ratchet: Juicy J, 2 Chainz, The Imp of Trukfit & The Bands a Make Her Dance Video | September 24, 2012 |
I will defer to the YouTube commenter who claimed that Juicy J is a gangsta rap fairy godfather teaching the youth the secret to taking strippers home. Whoever wrote that is the greatest critic alive. When lexicographers study the meaning of the word “ratchet,” they will watch this video and the original gem that set […]
Jimmy Ness is well aware that this is the season of the ratchet. 2 Chainz, Drake, Future, Juicy J. Mike Will’s stellar production has steadily been tricking me into liking rappers I think I shouldn’t. My inner rap snob dies a little each time Juicy J’s strip club anthem knocks my ears, but this song’s […]
