The longer your feet wrinkle in the swamp that is pro scribing, the more you realize that who blows up is often about co-signs, management, location, and malleability to become a meme. I appreciate what Death Grips do, but remove Zach "Hella" Hill from the algorithm and they're screamo rappers from Sacramento. Maybe great ones, but excellence doesn't usually equate to attention from Epic. As Kool Keith complained a decade and a half ago: how the fuck you get a record deal (from LA Reid). That said, good for them. Kid Ink gets paid more than 99.9 percent of all [...]
Everything the White Girl Mob learned, they learned from the above commercial. This is no time for circumlocution. There are songs to argue about. Everything is explained below. Some guys got it, some guys don't. 50. "Wale-"Chain Music" I can picture Meek Mill listening to this song, thinking, "This is what 'House Party' would sound like if I actually had a personality and knew how to rap." Then he would [...]
As a prelude to their next EP, Sextape , the BLKHRTS are dropping a track a week for the next two months. So expect to see a lot of dissonant shredded larynx art rap in this space. More M.O.P. meets Morrissey, replete with hellhound rasps about girls and devils and heaven and reverends and deliverance. This could serve as the soundtrack to a never-written documentary about black goth kids. I'll let you pick the imaginary title of that documentary, lest I start making really bad puns.

Mood: Currently resisting the urge to scrawl a tedious screed aimed at print publications and critics who rarely write about hip-hop unless it's to weigh in on the moral quandaries presented by rape-rap and America's favorite gay not-gay rapper. It's the music journo equivalent of royal wedding coverage. That's neither a critique on talent nor said artists' worth, but rather that every other rap group doing remotely interesting things gets ignored (NO, WIZ KHALIFA IS NOT DOING INTERESTING THINGS). I'm not asking for wall to wall coverage of Shabazz Palaces, Hail Mary Mallon, Mike Eagle, Green Ova Underground, [insert any [...]
BLKHRTS " SX,DRGS,VLNC,MNY,DTH. ": New shit from the group of live niggas who hate using vowels. Fits their shit, perfectly. This shit is dirty. All about questioning what's good in life and good for you. Almost like the inner monologue mass murderers have during they commit these dirty deeds, then reap the rewards. All things in life sort of lead back to these topics though, right? If you're not a fan of wheezing, carnal knowledge or peering into the psyche of psychos, you'll want to steer clear. [...]
Sach O grew up black hearted. Sometimes, good music finds you. A few weeks ago, Zilla sent us a link to the BLKHRTS Bandcamp page , claiming they were like " M.O.P meets Morrissey," a risky if intriguing proposition. A few streams and an EP purchase later, I was hooked with the combination of 2K10 production, rock influence and hard knock life bleeding through the music to make it one of the most surprisingly engaging rap platters in recent memory. In the interest of promoting "grown man rap" [...]
