Papoose ethered in New York Times

And there was a typically unentertaining one from Papoose, the rising Brooklyn rapper who is widely ??? and bafflingly ??? considered one of the city???s great hip-hop hopes. (In ???Alphabetical Slaughter??? he goes through the alphabet, listing all the words he can think of that start with each letter; this may be an effective way to pass the time during a long car trip, but it should never be done in public.)

Haha, when I read that this morning I thought you might be ghostwriting for Kelefah now.

People are always talking about how "lyrical" Papoose is, but guess what? Hip-hop isn't just about lyrics--it's also about whether or not your poster would look thweet on my wall.

On the strength of those two sentences, I can't help thinking Sanneh has better punchlines than Papoose.

That's nice, but who will bring New York rap back?


I read in that article that Paul Wall was an opening act. Pffft. That dude can wreck a mic better than anyone on that bill (except for Clipse, maybe)

Don't know if you guys remember, but TI did that in Cincinnati and ended up in a rolling gun battle down I-75...think it was coins instead of dollar bills he was throwing...
