Damn. Shit done changed. Glad you’re still here
also glad to see Papa Wu ain’t gone! But really though, the fact that TSS does change and grow says a lot. Cats get comfortable or are too shook to switch things up. Can’t raise the bar if you’re stuck to the floor.
Hmm…everything looks different. Cool though.
thanks for the ob4cl2 link now i wont ever hear any of bp3.
Definitely not the smoking section anymore. Shit is way too bright for smokers!
This site looks way too generic now. Maybe that was what you were going for? A blending in and moving on up type of thing? Who knows.
I like simple layouts and thats what I loved about TSS. Fader recently changed and I took them off my bookmarks and haven’t been back since. Like most ppl I don’t have time to click all over a site. Too many sites to peep. I like to scroll from top to bottom see what I missed or didn’t and keep it moving. Seems I can still do that here so I’ll be staying round. Good luck to TSS!! I hope the changes u made brings u guys the change your hoping for.
initial thoughts….. not feeling the new layout
…but maybe in time it’ll grow on me; we’ll see
*steps down from soap box*
Well, damn…
Looks like the suits and ties at Uproxx done came in an regulated.
In movies the transformation montage usually has music. So what did they play while they was whippin’ y’all into shape and going thru the random changes of clothing, fresh hair cuts, etc?
I like the new layout so far. Y’all have inspired me to finally go through with the redesign for my site. I’ve been bullshitting for 6 months now on making that change!
It’ll take some getting used to, but change is not always a bad thing. The new look isn’t half bad.

Duh.
Gravatar’s gone?… or will they be returning shortly?
im lost.
The new look is cool.
I like the “quik links” to mixtape downloads and stuff at the top there. That’s dope.
looks nice
new layout + OB4CL2= my head exploding
^ Word… this is gonna be a good couple of weeks for hip-hop.
Tsk tsk.
If you think I’m going to spend any time addressing the changes any further than what’s stated in the post, that won’t be happening. I’ll speak my short .02 and I’m done.
Just as it is w/artists & their music, we expected praise & dislike.
“It ain’t this & it ain’t that.” “I’m leaving.”
Pssh.
Okay. Bye!
Yeah, I said it.
If you think I started this motherfucker to remain the same motherfucker after a couple of years in it, you didn’t read all those posts closely enough. If you think these writers & everybody involved isn’t pushing to make TSS something greater, then you were mistaken.
Meet us in the future later.
Now, if you’re patient & a TRUE supporter, hang around. We’ve been through numerous changes & I feel like each one has been for the better. This new layout is no exception. And we’ve got more & more planned. This is just the first stop.
RMF!
What Gotty said.
RMF!
old layout? we off that
Copy Gotty.
RMF!
Question: Is there anyway we can see the number of comments before we click the link?
Tell ‘em why you mad son!
But Gotty… *sniffles*
I feel like my weed connect just got a job with Phillip Morris or somethin. y’all gon’ upgrade and leave the block.
damn you!
lol…
I’m old… this new fangled designs just gonna take some gettin’ used to. Now if you’ll excuse me, my daisy wheel printer is jammed again.
I like the Album but it’s not for everybody simply because Jay tried to make it for everybody. He’s Better than me because I wouldn’t give fuck about you retarded earred niggas
Also I wouldn’t place all my Hip-Hop hopes and dreams OBFCL2 because them niggas know how to make extra-averages albums too
Question: Is there anyway we can see the number of comments before we click the link?
========================
Working on it sir. I noticed that too so it’ll be addressed.
*now where’s i put my Apple IIC laptop again…*
Site looks good but there seems to be a glitch where you can’t go back a page. Page one is the same as page two and three etc…
I literally thought I was at the wrong site for a moment.
Alright Gotty, I see you.
looks ok so far been a fan since practically the beginning so im moving with yall
Im confused a lil bit but its all good. Im sure it’ll grow on me
^ you confused? Fool, I’m confused lmao. There’s a decided diff b/w practice speed & game speed.
But it’s just the jolt things needed around here lol.
fuckers. had me all nervous n shit lol
I like the change, it makes all of our comments look extra special
new layout is eh… but i read via RSS/Google Reader – so the freshness stays intact, and i continue to respect it.
As I’m sitting here trying to figure how this new site works, I just took the time to be thankful that my favorite hip-hop blog is still here. For a couple days I was wondering what life would be like without TSS. But, yall still here and all us readers/commenters gotta do is get used to a new layout.
If you don’t like it, you can eat 7,000 wee wees and die (C) Pimp C
lol
Change is good and maybe we needed this :)
The layout is supa fresh :p me likey
Plus i get to wake up and find a link to OB4CL2… isn’t that the best morning EVER !?
my bad this is not ob4cl2 :’( or is it ? i’m too f’d up this morning…
anyway, i really like the new TSS
Digging the layout!!
Fresh Respected!!
i think this looks pretty neat.
Got my Cuban Linx! All I need now is AZ – Doe Or Die Pt. II (In Stores Sept. 2015) and I can die happy!
@dpgc, all the other posts are in the archives section.
Shit’s different..but different is cool.
I DO miss my damn gravie though.
but whatever… glad the change isn’t the “other thing” I thought was about to go down.
gonna take some getting used to, but so did foamposites the 1st time I rocked ‘em.
Y’all know damn well the Gravies will be back. BEZ. Speaking of which, where is BEZ?
RIP TSS
once was major but now yous a traitor
“Looks like the suits and ties at Uproxx done came in an regulated.”
I was hoping their only presence on this site would continue to be at the very bottom advertising other Uproxx sites and in the address bar taking up space between smokingsection and dot com. Guess that was wishful thinking? Fingers crossed they don’t force TSS to plug anyone on the current Rawkus roster.
@Gotty,
Can u think about putting back the writers name under the title and not have it so we have to click Read More just to see who the author is? If you post something I usually always click read more simply because I enjoy your posts but if I’m just skimming thru I’ll often skip certain other authors unless its something I’m interested in or I think I might be interested in. Saves time. Thanks.
No lie.. about 3 weeks ago i was showing a friend the site and he was like.. that background is sick. I said to him “I’m actually shocked its still the same.
Layout changes mean nothing to me.. its the content of TSS that makes it Major.
@imsofly: Traitor? Word?
Notice how silent my belligerent ass stayed until this dude whipped out the “traitor” card and put it on the RIP table.
Son, you should be happy. In a world where things either grow/change or go away….we’re still here. The writers aint changed, content is still the same(and only getting better). At what point did we betray who and how?
If you’ve been here a few weeks/months/years give this layout a fraction of that time. Tweaks and time will change it for the better. If you still don’t feel it, well then, what Gotty said. It’s been real.
Otherwise, we appreciate the continued support fam. Freshness respected.
Get it. Got it. Good. Let’s keep moving.
“You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.” – Ziggy
there hasn’t been a layout change (yet) that didn’t come with people complaining about this, that and the third. somebody always hates it entirely, somebody else always threatens to stop reading, and the “sell outs!” comments always come.
and we’re still here.
whatever who cares. Boosies’s Superbad better not be a “for the ladies” album like he’s been sayin on the internet…
who the fuck is gonna make real rap records if THIS guy throws it all in for some shitty cd money….?????
where am i
this shit is fucking beautiful, you have to switch it up or else it gets stale… the old layout was as played out as auto-tune
It’s looking good but you have to change the color of visited link, that’s really important :-)
the new layout is dope!
it did take me a couple minutes to realize i hadn’t typed in the wrong address though.
First off fuck you for leading on like TSS was closing down shop, well you didn’t really lead us on but some folks were talking like that. So fuck you lol.
Take some time to get used to but it looks clean, diggin it. Only thing I want to address is I like how the comments were before when it showed em all and not just the 5 first ones, or however many it was, then you have to click to see em all. I like it just all at once. But other than that well done Gotty and the TSS crew
If you go to the Popular Posts or whatever, nearly all the comments are spam lol
Mmmm, I’m liking the new layout TSS, it’ll take a little getting used to.
It felt a bit strange seeing posts with 5 comments, then realising there’s an ‘older comments’ link – was wondering why people were being so quiet HA .
TBH I’m just glad y’all are still here – new layout/TSS >>>>>>no layout/TSS.
Yay! ;o)
Keep doing your thing – your freshness is respected.
wow shit.. wtf..
i thought i was on the wrong site.. but than i noticdd the TSS banner..
the design looks dope, fresh,. but just that one post and the recent posts is a bit irri.. i would be nicer if the post are just like they used to be.. but maybe i just have to get used to it..
i will miss the old design.. but you guys are still TSS! so MAJOR!
will the content still be the same?
Chea!
Hey the only thing that stays the same is things change. As long as my nikkaz is still here, damn the rest.
I duuno, I loved the old layout. I gotta get used to the new one. Luckily I read everything in Google Readers first.. Like you said, we must evolve.
G, P, and crew…
Page needs that search feature/Search box somewhere on there.
Hope you were just experimenting like Kanye on 808′s and Common on EC and get back to what looks good.
I’ll still visit the site four times a day but this shit’s gonna get used to.
Not a fan of the clean look and feel of the site, but it certainly loads faster which is a plus.
Naaaaah I don’t like this.
A to the Z !
i love the look. i only wish the “comments section” would pop up in another window like it did before. i loved that shit. but i can live without it.
Anytime you pushed “Want More” it didn’t pop up in another window. What are you talkin’ bout?
fresh and clean in here;)
The new layout’s fine – I like that it’s changed enough to be noticeably different, but still keeps one foot in the old formatting so that it feels…similar.
As long as gotty, contra, beware, k.strick, t.c, dave d, d sinclair, k1ng, l.c, M.z, prop jay, nd Devin keep writing intriguing articles, keep me up on the latest gadgets, keep helping me kill kittens wit da coolerz, keep me up on the latest events happening in different regions of the world, keep me posted with tour/show dates, nd keep me up to date with the gaming world….I SHALL ALWAYZ RESPECT THY FRESH-ness!
(Well not so much T.C., but yall get my drift, lol :) lol :) hahaha jk)
+just a couple dayz ago while i was looking back on all the older post, cause i thought the domain was shutting down, i notice that the old layout was nowhere to be found why did my favorite spot on the blog-o-sphere have to get all uppity, lol….i guess now you will start stockin up on “RMF hoodies”?!?!
ps. Big SHOUT-OUTz to P/Paola/Pretty, Smart, Talented, nd GANGSTA!!
pss. lol, glad to see that TSS is finally going to reconstruct the PNC’s list….
not near enough of a big deal to get me to stop reading but the new design is eh…
Oh so the layout has been changed; whew!! I though I was tripping off these brownines I was eating. I think they are laced with weed. As long as the cooler chick is still alive its all good.
I have to admit the old layout was nice and comfortable but I am down for the change. I visit TSS a couple times a day and appreciate all your voices. Keep it growing, don’t stop.
“i only wish the “comments section” would pop up in another window like it did before. i loved that shit. but i can live without it.”
True! That was a nice feature.
ob4cl2 what!? new look…meh. But i’m one of those adverse-to-change motherfuckers so. But on the real, I like the dark background over this white shit.
Not really feeling the new layout either but I’ll still be checking daily.
Thank you TSS.
I been here since the beginning. Shit changes, people complain for a month, then they get comfy again. Quit bitchin.
I remember when everyone was bitching about the sweater in the background, lol
