The lack of hardcore rap found in mainstream and even hip-hop and R&B; radio stations has undoubtedly been a trend occurring within the last few years. If you take a look at the Billboard Hot 100 chart for this week, only five songs on the entire list could be categorized as hardcore hip-hop tunes. Most of these songs feature Lil Wayne on them as either the main or featured artist. Unsurprisingly, even Weezy's top hit on the charts is the saccharine "How To Love...

Project Pat graduated top of his thug class, and his reward was enrollment in Three 6 Mafia Academy. In truth Pat had been an understudy to the Memphis, Tennessee crew since their earliest days, popping up again and again on their albums, and even signed with their Hypnotize Minds record label in 1999 to drop his first major label solo album "Ghetty Green...

Hypnotize Minds releases have always sort of abided by their own rules, drawing inspiration from their southern rootage as well as soaking in the artistic vision(s) and the rock 'n roll attitude of their masterminds DJ Paul and Juicy J, which secured them support from a loyal fanbase. That they not only accumulated the expected cult following but also attracted a considerable number of casual listeners and even mainstream media attention speaks to the appeal of their music...

With his "Tenessy" tattoo on his left forearm, a twist on the Hennessy cognac brand, Project Pat still represents his hometown of Memphis regardless of the complicated journey he has gone through up until now. Ever since he has surfaced as one of the top break out rap artists from Memphis in the '90s, Project Pat has made a name for himself...

I don't try to play every horrible hip hop record--certainly not to the end. But this lump of thug gold got extra horrible after the single, so I stuck with it. He raps like your downstairs neighbor banging a broom on the ceiling, with beats to match. If a ho comes down from the suburbs and shoots him in the mouth, it'll only be poetic justice.

Ever since they won the Oscar, the Three 6 Mafia dudes have been on a fast train to cheeseball-ville. With the Crunchy Black defection, the unbearably degrading MTV reality show, and the Good Charlotte collabo, it's tough to reconcile today's attention-hungry goofballs with the unruly, demonic fight-music mob that emerged out of Memphis not all that long ago. But they'll always have one thing that ties them to their hard-as-bones past, and that one thing is Project Pat...

To anyone who has ever wondered why Memphis' Project Pat has six proper LP's and a parcel of mixtapes to his name when all he seems to offer is yippy knuckle-headed fury triangulated on a quality spectrum between Beanie Sigel and Jim Jones, there is an explanation. And it's perhaps rap's most known unknown secret: he's the brother of Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J...

A truly un-inspired work of mediocrity from Pat. Apparently Mr. Pat has never heard of off beats, syncopation, or any other rhythmmic device other than a mechanical, metronomic delivery of his tedious words. The album starts off with its 'hit' number "Still Ridin' Clean", in which Pat proclaims he's "still makin' cheese" while getting his dick sucked. I apologise to all our customers who *were* eating breakfast while reading this...
