Life Is Passion Presents: Mr. Muthaf*ckin' eXquire - "Kismet" (cosmic-tape, 2013 A.D.)

Ladies and gentlemen of The Internet, it looks like The Grand Mufti AKA Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire has risen from the ashes and is finally back with a BRAND NEW 16-track mixtape, Kismet; For all intensive purposes, it's eXquire's first project since his critically-acclaimed debut, Lost In Translation (2011) and only his second release for Universal Records (since no one really had a chance to score a copy of The Man In The High Castle). Mr. MFN eXquire definitely brought in some added muscle for Kismet, recruiting a few of his highly-skilled rapping friends like Danny Brown, Nacho Picasso, Flatbush Zombies [all on one single track], Goldie Glo, and Gorgeous Black. Kismet seems to represent a certain level of personal and spiritual growth for eXquire, who recently took a break from the world of Hip-Hop to tend to his ailing mother and in turn, got sober cold turkey. VICE-employed writer Drew Millard laments that "this is not the same dude you'd associate with that one song about drunk driving on a Wednesday. That's the thing, though. He's not that guy at all."

"Kismet means fate or Destiny... I have a propensity for Hindi-like things such as Himanshu, Ganesha, and Curry Goat (so ignanat I know) I love everyone. Someone told me that I changed, so I didn't listen... #Passion" as haphazardly self-defined by Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire in a fairly prolific attached text file, AKA modern-day liner notes. Whether it was all approved by Universal or not, Kismet was preceded by a pretty solid roll-out initiative: "Medicine for Nightmares," an 11-minute short film/mixtape preview recorded @ SXSW, impressive B-sides "Draped In Gold" and "Fat Fool," "Nightfall at The Thames," which dually serves as the music video for both "Noble Drew Ali/The Cauldron," and a gaggle of interesting semi-revealing interviews. Production-wise, Kismet features hard-hitting beats from Mr. MFN eXquire's in-house producers CONSTROBUZ and The MFK, as well as re-hashed beats from Georgia Anne Muldrow and Soul-brother Curtis Mayfield. The EXCELLENTLY-titled "Orbz AKA Some Wise Quote Drake Never Said" somehow manages to diss Drake and Obama, kinda interpolate "Swimming Pools" (Drank), and sample some random 1981 "Frank Zappa on schools" TV interview all in one fall swoop!

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
