UGK – UGK 4 Life
Unless you happen to be a down-south rap, syrup sippin’ fanboy, listening to an entire UGK album sounds like a sub-par prank at best; although I can totally see some scene’d-out hipster bumping some UGK as some sort of post-ironic statement. But what happens when something you totally expect to...
The Cool Kids – Gone Fishing
What the fuck does mixtape mean anymore? Apparently it’s not just a compilation of songs from various artists put together to express how you were feeling when you’re girlfriend broke up with you in the summer of ’98. To promote the upcoming release of their second album, titled “When Fish...
Doom – Born Like This
So the artist formerly known as MF Doom, has dropped the “MF” and now wants us all just to call him Doom. As far as I’m concerned, dude can call himself whatever he wants as long as he keeps releasing creepy-cool, cartoon villain, Bukowski-laced hip hop for our unappreciative asses....
Rick Ross – Deeper Than Rap
Dear Rick Ross, in regards to your latest album “Deeper Than Rap”; what part of you or your album are you suggesting is, in fact, “deeper” than rap? I assure you it is not the generic, misogynistic, often nonsensical lyrics. It’s definitely not the forgettable beats, void of any creativity...
Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears – Tell Em What Your Name Is
Austin’s got soul baby, but you already knew that, from W.C. Clark to Janis Joplin. Texas now has a fresh face along with a new attitude. Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, lead by the explosive showmen Black Joe Lewis, and backed by a tight seven-piece. This young acclaimed band...
Kid CuDi – A Kid Named CuDi
We don’t know much about Kid CuDi yet, but be prepared for complete media saturation of the man who is to be Kanye West’s newest protégé. However, do not take this as negative commentary, because the Kid from Cleveland can rhyme with style to boot. After releasing his first mixtape,...
Kanye West – 808′s & Heartbreak
I really like Kanye West. He’s a self-centered ego-maniac with delusions of grandeur and I don’t care. In fact, I think I like him more because those things. I can’t really come up with a sound explanation as to why this is. He’s reached music’s pinnacle as a producer and...
The Knux – Remind Me In 3 Days
Although The Knux will be put in the “hipster rap” section at the record store, (if there is one), their debut “Remind Me in 3 Days” is more like that hipster kids’ older brother who stole his adirol and hit on his girlfriend before pounding red bull-vodkas in a 7-11...
