For @softuniononline I wrote about @Passionweiss' terrific "Waiting for Britney Spears," which was delightfully entertaining while also indulging in the same tabloid reportage he lacerates

DS2 was finally the album that made me appreciate what Future brings to the table as a recording artist. Great article here on what was a special record during a special time
Future's DS2 was the era-defining masterpiece amidst a classic mixtape run. On its 10th anniversary, @SonRaw wrote a definitive retrospective about this haunted Colossus of excess and pain, drug abuse and absurd luxury, sonic experimentation and triumph. passionweiss.com/2025/07/23/fut…

The second leg of the "Waiting For Britney Spears" tour continues this week. Readings and conversations in Chicago, Atlanta, Philly, and D.C. I'll be signing books, attacking Justin Timberlake's vests, and making belabored Britney and Laura Palmer analogies. A gala affair

lots worth revisiting in this piece
I went to the Coachella TikTok Symposium and Influencer Heptathlon and all I got was this essay about Frank Ocean, the death of youth, the rise of the algorithm, and the terrifying next age of the machine. theringer.com/music/2023/4/2…
RIP Ozzy. The original Ironman. Early Black Sabbath was a portal into a demented netherworld of strong cheap drugs, fried synapses, strange paranoia & the heaviest weaponry ever committed to wax. They invented several genres & snapped the neck off of popular sound. A true mutant.

Gabe 'Nandez & Preservation create a poignant hustlers eulogy. Bizarre returns from the weird beyond. Young Nudy drops an instant classic posse cut. Bandit2Krazyy puts on for Palmdale. Tadoe keeps running. All in the new Rap Up from @YungAdultSays passionweiss.com/2025/07/21/the…
