Down Magazine's cover says in standard downloadable graffiti font that it is "dedicated to south (behind Mike Jones' head) & culture". I would bet it says "ern hip hop" behind his head, but who knows? We are in some shitty times in rap music. On the table of contents page, I was immediately forced with something I hate in rap thug style now, and that was Mike Jones having "ICE AGE" tattooed on his hand, facing out for others to see. Were I to get something tattooed on my hand in cursive handwriting, I would almost definitely get it tattooed to read easily to my eyeballs, because seriously, fuck the world.
Anyways, much like the entire shitty rap mag genre (Ozone, Murder Dog, so on and so forth), there's tons of noteworthy shit to remark upon, but I told myself I'd only comment on one thing or so per magazine for this faggot blog, so I will limit myself to the Devin the Dude interview, where he's sitting beside a volcano vaporizer, which was when I first finally understood why his album is called Waitin' to Inhale. In the interview, which was early before final mixing was done, the song Devin talked up was that "Almighty Dollar" song, which has become my favorite by far off that CD. Yet the ad in the mag hypes up the standard hired guns tracks of "What A Job" (featuring two really famous fuckers in Dre - the weird gay one not the doctoral one - and Snoop) and that girl lost gone bad song (featuring two really flavor of the month rappers in Bun B - who is awesome - and Lil Wayne - who is the rap Sanjaya). Still, a funny magazine and unlike Murder Dog and Ozone, whoever does this has not purposely broken the spell check on their laptop yet.
