“No Smoking” Sign << TSS Sign. Take that Northern Europe.

This is what your favorite crew’s favorite Crew has been up to lately.

Grand Hustle had this week in a chokehold, as T.I and Kuntry’s albums joined a gang of others on the shelves this week.

The crew critics also reviewed new material from Heltah Skeltah, Nelly, Termanology, and Slim Thug, and posted new visuals from Janelle Monae, Joell Ortiz, Ludacris, Alicia Keys and ya boy Usher.

TSS took time to acknowledge De La Soul, Cypress Hill, Too Short, Naughty by Nature, and Slick Rick for their VH1 Hip Hop Honors nods, but still found time to join Chris Rock and joke about politics Palin, when they weren’t crying about the economy.

Patrick brought us cautionary tales from the Midwestern Hip Hop Conference.

BET’s Rap Shitty City got shafted. As will Peedi’s Crakk…and Ms. Hathaway as well.

Speaking of asses, N.O.R.E put his fat one on a treadmill pause, and T-Pain got his kicked by a vocoder, while we started stocking our sneaker closets for fall, while taking a tip or two from the Superman of sneaks, Clark Kent.

Meanwhile, the Queens of The Section proved yet again that they were unfuckwitable…Fall back, Keri.

The rest of you, buckle up as we ride into this next week.
