The Waka Flocka Flame Theory

by ListenToLeon on 17. Aug, 2010 in Hip Hop, Music, Youtube

A few days ago, I learned that it takes less than 3 Waka Flocka Flame or Gucci Mane songs played in a row for my thoughts toward the DJ to turn homicidal. Obviously, I am not blogging from prison, so I resisted my strong urge to grab a speaker and bludgeon to death the person [...]

Rick Ross > Satan

by ListenToLeon on 12. Jul, 2010 in Fake, Hip Hop, Music, Video, gangsta

They say the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist. If that’s the case, Satan has nothing on Rick Ross! I know for a fact that Ross is a fake-ass gangster with a fake-ass name, yet I somehow still like his music. I think I’ve finally gotten to a [...]

Stacks Album Review

by ListenToLeon on 02. Oct, 2008 in Hip Hop, Music, Review, Reviews, Youtube

Earlier this week, I received a CD from a rapper by the name of Stacks, titled “Crazee and Confused.” At first I was like “This is probably just another one of those one-name rappers, like Jibbs or Mims. I don’t know about this right here.” Then, I looked at the guest appearances(Lil’ Wayne, Fat Joe, [...]

Rock The Bells Rocked

by ListenToLeon on 28. Jul, 2008 in DC, Hip Hop, Music

To my readers outside DC, I definitely recommend checking out the Rock The Bells concert when it comes to your city. This was easily the most entertaining and well-organized hip hop show that I have ever been to. I mean, to have this many legendary acts on the bill, and have them all actually show [...]

Maybe Nas Was Right

by ListenToLeon on 17. Jun, 2008 in Angry, Hip Hop, King, Music, Youtube

Hip Hop must be dead. I say this because nowadays the rap game bears a closer resemblance to the WWE than to real life. Rappers beefing with other rappers is nothing new. Battles have been around since the formative years of hip-hop culture. It’s just that over the past few years, things have gotten way [...]
