I thought Flo Milli was in danger of becoming into the new OMB Peezy: a young Alabama upstart who got brainwashed into making boring Spotify playlist fodder. Turns out she's #actually the new Beastie Boys: as the bratty belligerence disappears, so does the magic. Her new album got a couple of jams, but she's mostly lost what made her unique: that she was a hoodrat Angelica from Rugrats.
Tired: CD reissues of every every mediocre regional '90s G-Funk album. Wired: CD reissues of no-DJ versions of Max B's late '00s mixtapes.
Another reason why New Yorkers are such terrible authorities on their own Rap music: they've been bodied at documenting their own '80s history by a guy from Virginia.
If some music critic writes a Wasn't Timbaland brilliant? article and doesn't mention any of the Timbaland & Magoo singles then, to misquote Magoo himself, that music critic got no taste, we fart on your thinkpiece. Yeah, Magoo has a funny voice, but so does Kendrick Lamar and some of you ponces swear he's The Most Important Artiste Of This Generation™.
If the clothes really do maketh the man then these jeans explain why 70th Street Carlos' music is such a confused mess nowadays.
DJ Vlad and Joe Budden have made me hate Rap gossip, but I'd still love to hear the full unedited version of Mad Skillz Ghost Writer. Scandalous when it dropped, it's one of my favourite Rawkus Records singles and 22 years later it still works as a Rap industry cryptic crossword even though some of the blanks have been filled in.
(From Ghost Writer 12" single; 2000)

brother are the Max B CD reissues real or just a beautiful dream
Beautiful dream currently 🙁
How on earth did DJ Vlad get over five million subscribers on YouTube?
He's obsessed with who killed 2Pac and has a shit ton of subscribers from that alone.
I really wanna know the history behind the Max B Library of Legends tapes
Weren't they a fan-made thing which Max's team then adopted as official and carried on releasing?
Max B boxset would be good
The 70th Street Carlos link doesn't work
Damn, he's deleted/archived all his Instagram pix.
It was a pic of him wearing Bellbottom jeans with pockets down the front and chains on each pocket from leg to leg. Worst jeans I've ever seen in my life and I can't see how he could even walk in them 😂
Ghost Writer is a classic
I concur.
Words I never thought I'd type: Gary Bushell reviewed the Flo Milli album in today's Daily Mirror.
