RR’s ’09 Best Mixtapes: #4 Pill “4180: The Prescription”

East Coast lyricism meets Dirty South grit on Pill’s debut mixtape, 4180: The Prescription. Along with DJ Burn One, the Atlanta native caused a raucous with his trap anthem, “Trap Goin Ham”.  But Pill wasn’t confined to just the block. He globetrotted on “Dreamin” and walked a thousand miles in his “Trap Boots”. Unfortunately old habits die hard, and on “Blow” he flips Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” into another dope boy ode. Get geeked. Before: RR’s ’09 Best Mixtapes: #5 Lil […]

RR’s ’09 Best R&B Albums: #4 Rihanna “Rated R”

Both weathering the storm, if Chris Brown’s music was good Rihanna’s was even better. While Chris pretty much avoided the hot topic on his CD, Ri-Ri went all the way there from the cover art to the cussin’ like a sailor to the creepy “Cold Case Love”. “Wait Your Turn” and “Russian Roulette” may have been too dark pop for plenty of people’s tastes but there’s no denying the Jeezy collabo “Hard,” which still sounds as good to me as […]

RR’s ’09 Best Mixtapes: #5 Lil Wayne “No Ceilings”

We were all geeked for the return of the Mixtape Weezy. So excited, that this project prematurely leaked. Then on Halloween, four new songs were quickly added. The Cool and Dre produed title track was one of them which contained one of my favorite chrouses, “Pop that pussy and shake your ass. No Ceilings!” Ha. Seriously, there’s a lot to enjoy here. Even hit-and-miss Minaj shines on B’s “Sweet Dreams”. Still Dwayne is large and the one in-charge as he […]

RR’s ’09 Best R&B Albums: #5 Chris Brown “Graffiti”

There’s not a doubt in my mind that if Breezy hadn’t socked Ri-Ri, “I Can Transform Ya” would’ve been one of the hugest records of the past year. I don’t care what you say, that Swizz Beatz stutter-step track knocks and it’s not the only good song to be found here. Ebro’s DJs at NY’s Hot 97 have made it abundantly clear that Chris’ sly Fenty-reference rocker “Famous Girl” should be the next single. I’ve yet to watch the video […]

RR’s ’09 Best Mixtapes: #6 Freddie Gibbs “MWGBFCM”

For years, Gary, Indiana’s claim to fame came courtesy of Joseph & Katherine’s nine children. Now, The G has something to else to sing about with Freddie Gibbs and his mixtape Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik. Teaming with DJ Skee, Gangsta Gibbs keeps it greasy like a Church’s chicken 20 piece on “Malcolm In The Middle (Inhale)” and “I’m The Man”. He flirts with death on the murky “Murda On My Mind” and rides out with Pill on “Womb To The Team”. Pot heads […]
