The mind of an Intricate Wordsmith
In this opinion piece, I will argue that there’s a generational collusion in Hip Hop today. There’s a vast divide between the people who love and respect the Culture and those who logged in to…
My somewhat silence regarding the Drake-Kendrick Lamar rap beef was deliberate. Traditionally, I'd have unquestioningly celebrated Kendrick's checkmate. Regrettably, the current socio-political landscape demands a more nuanced perspective. My fondness for Drake is well-documented, and…
People are absolutely losing their minds over Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's "Missionary" album - and for good reason. But let's not forget about one of the most underrated releases right now: Ice Cube's "Man…
I could say Snoop Dogg is the most famous rapper ever to grace the mic. The internet is so undefeated that it might name another rapper and prove me wrong. On the other hand, when…
