Claustrophobic dubstep EP from London's Scanone, with free track to download. There's nothing beautiful in Gangsta Riddim's world. This is digital dubstep with everything compressed into a claustrophobic world of numbed hallucination. Lead track Gangsta Riddom IDM sets the mood with its sparse beats and distorted sample. Strings ratchet up the tension and the bass booms in dark corners. Gangsta Riddim (Noel Funcken Remix) is the free download. And it's no more cheerful. The beats are more broken and everything wades through a treacle of bass. Insider is a [...]
In my most recent review, of Raekwon's Unexpected Victory , I called the Chef "probably the most gangsta rapper in the history of gangsta rap." I still stand by that statement, but if we refine our focus from "history of gangsta rap" to "group of the ten most influential rappers in hip-hop today," we can apply the statement to Rick Ross and throw the "probably" into the Atlantic Ocean strapped to a pair of concrete blocks. Rich Forever , the most significant hip-hop release of 2012 so far (sorry, T.I.), reaffirms Rozay's status as the [...]
Raekwon is probably the most gangsta rapper in the history of gangsta rap. 2012 will mark his twentieth year of rap superstardom and as far as I can tell he's still yet to make a song that doesn't involve selling drugs, buying ridiculously extravagant things with the money he made selling drugs, or just being an all-around mafia don. So while the title of his new mixtape is Unexpected Victory , the tape is basically exactly what you'd expect from the Chef. Every track on Unexpected Victory is some sort of celebration [...]

Ten years ago, 50 Cent basically invented the modern-day mixtape circuit with the release of 50 Cent Is The Future , a tape on which 50 took a bunch of other people's songs and made them better. It's been a wild ride for Fif ever since, first rising to "Biggest Rapper in the World" status with the release of Get Rich Or Die Tryin' in 2003, and eventually falling to Ludacris-like levels of over-the-hillness by 2009's Before I Self Destruct . The Big 10 , a collection of ten [...]

The Japanese always get the good shit, like vending machines that take credit cards and sell women's undies, crazy-good monsters, and bonus tracks on albums. Such is the case with the latest tUnE-yArDs album "W H O K I [...]
Freddie Gibbs recently released his wonderful Cold Day In Hell mixtape to critical acclaim. Emanuel Vinson really likes it, as do I. Together, we form a Megatron like figure, analyzing the record in the form of a "chat." We had a lot of fun doing this, and hopefully we'll be able to do another one [...]

Had to do it. Here's a playlist of some of my favorite West Coast tracks, mostly from the G-Funk era. When people think West Coast, this is some of the stuff they'll hear playing in their head. I hope you enjoy this gangsta sh*t. 11/5 - Brousin' The Luniz - Playa Hata Watts Gangstas - Fuct in the Game [...]
Does Justin Bieber even know what he's doing? I'm not sure how long ago this photo was taken, but a fan submitted it to Starz Uncut and had this to say about it: "I cannot believe the little sh*t threw up westside and started acting hard like he got jumped into a gang or something, does he know he could get shot up for something like that." In related Bieber news [...]
About a month ago, in a review of Bad Boy Presents: The Preview (a compilation mixtape showcasing the talents of the label's newly-signed up-and-comers), I wrote "Diddy has always been a savvy businessman however, so perhaps it's not an accident that the tape ODs on Red Café but leaves you wanting more MGK and Cassie (and Ciroc!)." Well, I've apparently gotten (some of) what I've wished for, as Machine Gun Kelly has returned, on his own, with the 12-song mixtape Rage Pack . Kells plays with the dual meanings of [...]
Hip hop and remixing get along like peanut butter and jam and it looks like a baller influx of the latter of the former came up on everyone's radar today. DJ Lobsterdust delivers a pretty neat versus of Big Boi and LCD soundsystem while Disco Fries's sometimes danceable remix of Flo Rida is tolerable. The crowning reenvisioning today comes from the always solid The Hood Internet, whose pairing of Twin Sisters and Usher is surprisingly powerful. Big Boi vs. LCD Soundsystem – Shutterbugg Yrself (DJ Lobsterdust Mash Up) [...]
50 Cent revolutionized the mixtape circuit and Lil' Wayne worked it better than anyone else ever has, but if I had to pick the king of the mixtape, I'm going with Papoose. King Of New York is the 25th tape Papoose has released since 2004, which could lead one to conclude that he's either the hardest-working man in hip-hop or he has an obsessive compulsion that forces him to record three verses a day over someone else's beat and release them no matter the quality of the end product. There are moments on [...]
Apparently Lil' Bow Wow is still rapping. I saw him in an ad for a terrible-looking movie about two years ago, but other than that I (like everyone else) hadn't really heard anything about him since Like Mike came out back when he was younger than Justin Bieber sounds. But not only is Bow Wow back sans the Lil', he also is better than you! Or so he claims. In reality, once Lil' Bow Wow hit puberty, he didn't have a gimmick to fall back on and seemingly spent the subsequent years jacking the [...]

Sounds like there's a cloud of depression following more than a couple of young rappers these days. Great People of Orlando, some of the greater people from the not-so-great Orlando, start off the sadness with a glossed over, too stoned to remember tune "Orange U High?" The lyrics at times are silly, yes, but some blue feeling undoubtedly creeps behind the scenes. "I just need some orange juice" Great People - Orange U High? Who is Skizzy Mars? Well, he sounds like a younger Lil' Wayne but with more problems to talk [...]
Of all the wonderful songs on Tune-Yards' sophomore album w h o k i l l, "Gangsta" might be the most chaotic. From Merrill Garbus' siren-like vocal beginning to all the ragged saxophone playing and crazy-abrupt tempo shifts, the song is a study in how to aurally assault a listener in a totally awesome way.
