In Heavy Rotation (July 2016)

After knocking the Black Music Month post out of the park in June, I kinda laughed to myself about the July lineup like, "Dang...I sure do have a lot of White people on this list!"  Then, looking at two of the five picks, I later thought, "Somebody is gonna think that I curse like a sailor and say some of the most offensive things known to man when nobody is watching!"  At the end of the business day, I don't care either way because, if anything, it shows that nothing is out of bounds for my listening pleasure and that I have quite a few screws loose--but y'all already knew the latter, so that's not breaking news.  Before we begin, here's a programming note: I tried my absolute best once again to give Desiigner a chance beyond "Panda" and "Timmy Turner".  However, his New English mixtape sounded more like new gibberish with all of the same machine gun ad-libs from both of the aforementioned singles all throughout and I just couldn't subject y'all to that.  I can tolerate those two singles on their own, but an entire project of that is a bit much for my ears.  So now that the disclaimers and the insufferable mention are out of the way, let's start the show...

UHHHH DUHHHH ALERT: Kendrick Lamar Named MTV's "Hottest MC"

So this is supposed to be a picture of Kendrick Lamar being surprised as MTV personality and hip-hop aficionado Sway tricked the 25-year-old Compton, California rapper into thinking that he was getting interviewed.  In reality, Sway revealed that Kendrick had been named MTV's "Hottest MC in the Game" for 2012.  Now before we go any further, I must set this up with Mrs. Scribbler's reaction to the list...when I merely mentioned that Future was No. 9 on this list a spot ahead of Meek Mill, she scoffed, "I'm no longer interested.  I mean, you can continue, but I'm no longer interested.  Is he even a rapper???"  However, when she correctly guessed the top gun, she immediately said, "That's no surprise.  He deserves it."
