ROLL WITH THE WINNERS
Riff Market Presents:
"Status Ain't Hood Quarterly Report: Riffs"
July 2006
SWEET/AWESOME TIMES IN RIFFTOWN 07/06
96 RIFFS: Zach Baron's review of the David Lee Roth concert. A fantastic ending to a promising start. Hear hear, all is not lost.
95 RIFFS: MC Hammer's Blog. The new Brooklyn Vegan?
90 RIFFS: Fam-Lay [ft. Pharrell]: "Beeper." Too bad this won't catch on. At least it made the Hood News.
90 RIFFS: Japanese Pop Culture Is At Its Nadir. Says Momus's more legible nemesis.
89 RIFFS: Falafel Star. First Avenue, 7th Street, the middle-aged, middle-eastern guy with the red hairdye.
78 RIFFS: Ott on Indie Rock. "I stand on one side of a great divide..."
68 RIFFS: Kids Air-Guitaring To Nirvana's "Aneurysm." They only air-guitar to bootlegs and b-sides.
NEW CLOWNS AND ENEMIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF RIFF
44 RIFFS: People Who Think "Baba O'Riley" Is Called "Teenage Wasteland." Enemies also include people who like and/or respect the song "Baba O'Riley."
33 RIFFS: APT. Overpriced, too far away, too difficult to pronounce.
23 RIFFS: Sex Columnist Joanna Angel Gets Canned From SPIN. She didn't answer my questions, nah. She just went straight back to gamefacing.
13 RIFFS: Zidane Headbutt. Missed opportunity for Zidane/Shawnna "Gettin' Some" mashup. Somebody get Catchdubs on the redphone.
5 RIFFS: Melanie Martinez Butt Sex Saga. Butt sex, I've found your Pee-Wee.
5 RIFFS: Coolfer Talking About Himself in the Third Person. This didn't used to bother me so much but with each passing day he gets more out of control.

didnt know there was much of a contest re: "it's going down"--you really can't walk around here without it playing outta somewhere. that said i don't understand take sides: ross vs. joc
what was the SPIN grade? i didn't pick up the issue
what was the SPIN grade? i didn't pick up the issue
spin grade was a B+
it seemed to me that alot of critics saw it as a foolish song that represented everything that is "wrong" with current southern hip-hop.
breihan slagged it in the new joc city pfork review, same with whoever wrote the review at stylus.
i haven't heard any of joc beyond "it's goin down", but i think ross can spit out a decent verse here or there (i.e. dj kahled's "holla at me")
