Everything Else By Gotty™ on March 8, 2009 at 6:07 pm
The TSS Crew is looking for three to four new members to help insure that the Fresh stays respectable around these parts by assisting with daily updates.
What and Who We’re Looking For…
– Writers with a witty, conversational tone and distinct voice/style.
– Familiarity with HTML and image editing.
– Bloggers with the time and ability to update multiple times per day. We don’t sleep.
– Some understanding of RSS feeds, Google Alerts, etc.
– An interest in and knowledge of music from different eras and genres; including instrumentation, milestones, production credits, etc. Familiarity with Hip-Hop is a must but knowledge of other genres is a huge plus.
– The ability to self-edit, fact-check and follow existing formatting guidelines, style and procedures already in use at TSS.
– Able to contribute with several posts per week.
What and Who We Aren’t Looking For…
– AP-style dry journalism
– Long-form entries that take hours/days to complete.
– Long-windedness and/or blathering.
– Writers with a penchant for reflection and/or nostalgic posts. We’re looking for the Now.
– Humorlessness.
– Someone lacking self-discipline or motivation.
After we fill these slots, we’ll also be looking for other individuals to join the team, fulfilling the same roles except with a focus on Sports, TV/Movies & a few other arenas.
To answer this call, please email us at TSSWriters @ gmail.com. Be sure to include two written samples that can be published immediately. Don’t send us your resume, highlighting your past. Show us something for now, as we all know the internet waits for no one.

OED - make sure to cut me a check

Amp! Black Canseco!
Don’t wait till the water runs dry, it’ll be the biggest mistake of your lives…
@ KThundo
Cut.
Bouncing right towards you, brethren.
LOL @ Deen for the Boyz II Men reference. That damn cello popped in my head & when I snapped back to reality, white sand was in my pockets.
If TC Would take me under his wing, i’m game.
Imma need ya’ll to address the Ms.Hilson mess, cause she did write on 2 of Ciara’s records”Like A Boy” and “That’s Right” - ie. “Check the Credits Ho” and We all know who needs to “Move it to the……”
TSS such advocates of Ms.Hilson, I thought we were going to have some fun with this one. If she was gonna go hard she should have stuck to it and went hard, but ya girl punked out and backed down-Epic Fail!
Two words: Black Canseco
One more word: Amp
That is all.
Keri shit is coming. Does that need a pause?
R&B… Ruckus n’ Beef.
Going in on Keri & Ciara requires no pause.
I nominate Black Canseco, Amp, OED, Deen…who else am I missing…? bunch of others…
LC has left quite a void to be filled, hasn’t she…? sucks she doesn’t contribute much anymore…
LC has left quite a void to be filled, hasn’t she…?
—————————
Rhetorical question.
I may blow the dust off my pen to do the sports portion. BUT I REFUSE TO COVER BOSTON! I need that in my contract negotiations. That and free stickers.
If I wasn’t starting law school this summer, I’d be all over this (pause). Well, at least the sports section.
I’d take the role of cooler poster.
Caveat : hoes will be naked.
I nominate…ME!!! Nah, I don’t think that my journalistic skills are up to par, but I would be great at introducing people to new music. Why do you need more contributors??? I think that the current batch is adequate.
i would like to give it a try..
but I pass, since english isnt my mother language..
@ Gotty
but maybe i can do a special?? about Hiphop from the Netherlands??
1 or 2 posts about some cool worldwide-worthy-Dutch-Hiphop and a little bit of history behind it..??
because over here, we def have some acts the world should now!
i wish i wasn’t so busy i would be all over this.
are y’all hiring background dancers?
^ like Scoob & Scrap Lover? Trouble T-Roy & that other dude from Heavy D & The Boyz? I can do some mean old-school dances
Amp, Black Can, and OED should submit writings, they got the right stuff(Pause)
^ you can be the TSS Court Jester, & I’ll be your understudy (pause)
Keri sucks u aint know yet
Sounds like a bunch of posers
I’d like to push for an obligatory greums POTD.
Also
–Blathering.
– Writers with a penchant for reflection and/or nostalgic posts.
– Someone lacking self-discipline or motivation.
^^^ are all me, oh well.
Damn…I really need some extra 20’s
I want to apply for th..oh wait, never mind.
co-sign Black Canseco and Greums.
*is interested*
I’m down to contribute…
I know no one around here really likes Southern Hip Hop but since I moved out here to Nashville, I am trying to get some work in this Genre. This link is the whole project for you other cats that want to flip a remix out of it. And if anyone else uses Logic and sees my settings are way off, just tell me what I am doing wrong or how you would mix it down in my blog.

Ravi Kumar
^ Dude came across himself. How ill is that?
I know no one around here really likes Southern Hip Hop
======================================
umm…do u come hear often? i doubt it
i would apply but A) not really a “journalist”
B) html kiccs my ass
C) im young(19) and have little musical knowledge of the 60’s 70’s 80’s
Normally, I’d jump at an opportunity like this, but right now I’m struggling to post on my own site as much as I feel I should. Once I get my own editorial calendar issues together over there, I’d love to possibly contribute from time to time over here. Just hit me up and let me know.
