Although it’s been years since I’ve seen one of these for sale at the Barnes and Noble or Borders, apparently they’re still making magazines with long-ass interviews. It also seems as though they use no discretion now as far as choosing the artist to grace their cover. Ace Hood? We’re willing to bet that these guys and XXL will not be around a year from now on newsstands.
I really want to read that interview with the Ax Murder Boyz. No, really, I do.
It’s only right to document every good deed you do, especially when you’re a little too exuberant with the trigga finga. Ace Hood gives kids the standard advice about staying in school and talks about his “big deal” before dropping an acapella with more pauses than a Dipset road trip. Gotta love that his lackey’s didn’t waste a minute passing out posters because really, what kid wouldn’t rush home to hang up an Ace Hood picture after that informative speech? The whole point about getting a rapper to speak at a school is that you hope they do it in a way that’s cooler than a guidance counselor, except here I would assume their guidance counselor would have been much more effective. I know if Ace Hood came to my school and tried to give me advice, I would be dropping out of that jawn.
Somehow a song about how a guy can break into your house, rob you and “eat the bullets that [he] provides” kind of loses it’s “oomph” factor when you got a reggae-style Autotune hook. I really don’t think I have to worry about the “trigger finger” when there’s a Jamaican robot helping make the threats. Middle finger up and thumb down for the pointer finger.
