“Dizzy well know…Back up the slick talk.”

After making their recent “Return,” Diz and Moon keep the momentum going with “Slick,” which is everything the song title implies. In a playful way, the two seem to be battling for attention, Diz’s relentless verbal jabs flourish over Moon’s feathery melody. Read the rest of this entry »

If you thought Mr. Exotic Prophet a.k.a. Sleepy Eye Jones b.k.a. Fiend was going to slide through Cali without laying down a few ill rhymes and taking a few pulls of the chronic, you must have hit before he got a chance to. Below is the end result of his escapade which also incorporated the Strong Arm Steady gang, a fire-ass track from The Futuristiks and a real life smoking session without the help of TSS.

Scott Campbell’s money skull depiction brings to mind Mark 8:36. Money shouldn’t be viewed as evil, but as a tool. It’s what you do with the bread that should be defined as good or evil. Read the rest of this entry »

“Whatever happened to Kuntry King, ain’t sh*t he laughin’ at/His song was the baddest bitch, Alfamega the biggest snitch/I feel like Tip woulda been better reppin’ this Duct Tape sh*t…”

Whew, lawd. Call the coroner. Trouble smashed this one. Read the rest of this entry »

The year was 2007 and every L.A. scene-ster girl with a scarf around her neck and sangria in her hand had a crush on Miguel. He was about a foot shorter than the lot of us, and just by eyeballing his weight versus any one of ours, we knew we could take him in a fight. Never you mind that he had a super hot girlfriend and couldn’t be bothered to care less about any other woman in the room. Miguel was still the sexiest woopdie-doo that side of the Mississip.

I know myself and few other TSS Crew members are glad Ace Hood has come into his own, not just as a fiery vocalist, but more focused artist. We share a casual sense of anticipation to see how well his third LP, Blood, Sweat & Tears will do on our scale of approval. To increase the awareness and the buzz, Ace is clipping and zipping up his next freebie in Body Bag Vol. 1 with DJ Infamous set to blaze the wheels of steel. Read the rest of this entry »

NYDN:

“A Federal arrest warrant is out for hip-hop mogul Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond, who manages Brandy, Sean Kingston and Akon.

As surprising musical duets go, Justin Vernon (a.k.a. Bon Iver) and Kanye West might top the list with a good amount of discernible distance between them and the next closest tag-team. Vernon’s influence was obvious on West’s tracks “Monster” and “Lost In the World.” Granted, it was cool seeing Vernon tap into his inner-Yeezy, roll to Hawaii for a few weeks to record and break out of that Northern Wisconsin-pensive funk that outlined his For Emma, Forever Ago.

We are eight days away from arguably the most anticipated comedic sequel since…you know what, I don’t even watch movies like that so I’ll stop while I’m ahead. Just know I’m nearly as excited to see The Hangover 2 than whenever the NFL will announce the lockout is officially over. Read the rest of this entry »

The West is close to being won and laymen not into glamour teams will flip channels. That will be their loss as the Western Conference finals has more than a few compelling caveats. Read the rest of this entry »

Napoleon Dynamite’s coming back, just not the big screen. The 2004 movie has spawned an animated offspring set to debut on FOX during the middle of 2012 and it could potentially be very funny or go down in flames. Anybody want to place bets on the number of episodes it will last? Read the rest of this entry »

When we last left Jon Stewart, he was busy laying into FOX News the same way your mother did when you brought home a less than stellar report card. While the segment was hilarious in its own right, many wondered what the consequences would be Read the rest of this entry »

5th Child has been a friend of the site for many moons now and consistently drops off dope material. But this right here? This is something wholly different. Read the rest of this entry »

May all your women be long-legged and your Tuesdays Tiffany Blue. Camp Lo’s offering this week is a percussion-heavy party, sounding like Blaxploitation soundtrack music the old Bill Cosby would thoroughly approve of. Read the rest of this entry »

Not sure if it was Blu, his GODLee Barnes alter ego or, perhaps, divine intervention, but the emcee randomly released a new collection of material, entitled J e s u s. A low-fi affair (128kbps), which most of us are used to when dealing with the abstract emcee, Read the rest of this entry »
