Have you ever had a six day week? Not “work week,” as in just one day to rest on your laurels. Just six days, period. While you scratch your head in puzzlement, the nation of Samoa are saying the hell with this Friday and moving right on to Saturday. Read the rest of this entry »

We told you a while back that a proper Nelly comeback just wasn’t meant to be. As much as that sentiment may stick with the bulk of the TSS population, it just wouldn’t be kosher if we ignored his attempts at proving us wrong, now would it? Read the rest of this entry »

I hate Tom Brady. And his coach. They’re just total d*cks and bullies that get riled up to beat on a subpar Jets team and act like it was a national tragedy that they screwed the pooch four years ago when they should have had a perfect season. Tom Brady thinks he’s the greatest quarterback ever and you’re an idiot if you disagree with him. Read the rest of this entry »

We kept trying to tell Tyrese that this year, of all years, was the wrong one to drop a track called, “Fireworkz.” But, like any Fast 5 star would do, Ty just said “man, f**k Kathy Perry,” replaced the ‘s’ with a ‘z’ and kept it moving. Unsurprisingly, the Atari-sounding track became a lonely iTunes bonus cut from the R&B actor’s Open Invitation album Read the rest of this entry »

Rashad’s name has been ringing like virgin ears after hearing a bass-heavy track turned up to 11. On “The Truth” the Ohio-based producer, singer and emcee brings the 808s, but leaves the heartbreak for another song. Read the rest of this entry »

When you’re amongst friends, beautiful women and clouds of chronic smoke, the alcohol sloshing around your red, plastic cup can tend to be somewhat irrelevant. Similarly, you might not have too much Droop-E in your deck, but include K-Dot and some audible elegance as the backdrop, and “Rossi Wine” will be all you need to reach the clouds.

From what I believe was behind the scenes of he and Wale’s “Slight Work” video (a dope song, by the way), Big Sean sheds light on what will soon become one of the more anticipated projects of the new year. Donning the coat first worn by Cruella Deville in Disney’s 101 Dalmations, the guy who finally became famous in 2011 had these exact words to say in regards to the forthcoming compilation.

If you were to say that Murs’ “‘67 Cutlass” needed a video, it probably wouldn’t fall in the most accurate of statements. The four-minute narrative holds up the tradition of vivid storytelling Hip-Hop is renown for and allows listeners to paint the scenery for themselves with each rhyming bar filling in the “then what happened next?” Read the rest of this entry »

New York’s Knickerbockers have plenty to smile about these days. Tyson Chandler’s on deck to enforce inside which, on paper, should energize NY’s defensive efforts all around. The club’s a point guard, and a head coach depending on who you ask, away from being a league wide problem. However, as any sports fans know, things weren’t always so promising at the Garden.

Your 10th grade American History teacher was totally right: you can’t believe everything you read on the Internet. Although he/she probably wasn’t speaking about lyric websites, apply the same advice to those web addresses as well. And since we’d rather know the actual lyrics to Freddie Gibbs’ “187 Proof” than knowing what the H.U.A.C. was, the Gary, Indiana, MC has provided a “lyric book” in order to clarify what he actually utters on his recent project Read the rest of this entry »

The ultimate test in measuring one’s worth is not conducted in the battle to the top but the downhill slide when there’s nothing left to prove, yet more recognition to gain. Back before the Internet held any sort of weight in the rap caucus of what’s hot or not, Young Jeezy was a star with his early effort Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101. Read the rest of this entry »

Songs like “Cocaine Is A Helluva Drug” are why I’ve been claiming Crooked as one of my favorite rappers for the past seven years.
