“I got my mind on my money while I’m clocking dough
I kill that show then I’m adiós
I’m walking the talk that you’re talking about
Gotta n*gga feeling like the man in the town
The n*ggas that was lost, understanding me now Read the rest of this entry »

Saigon already picked his poison. His decision to be a torchbearer and flag-waver for the culture is the road less traveled when you only have one shot to make it. That shot may have resulted in thousands of days waiting in limbo, but those who experienced The Greatest Story Never Told know the wait only blessed Hip-Hop with the kind of product that has been lost in this current state of music.

Big percent of the new breed
Smell like money and blue cheese
Stealth bomb on my true steez Read the rest of this entry »

Oh where was this lil’ cretin when her album was on its way to Bricksville? Overused, like most new artists, Nicki Minaj still found a way to steal the show and raise the fee for her appearances (just ask Usher, Luda and Trey Songz). But the fireworks were still soon to come, when she was asked to attend the imaginary festivities for Kanye’s illustrious 5th album. Read the rest of this entry »

“I WOKE UP AND the birds was chirpin’
Head is spinnin’ but I ain’t sure if the earth was
Trying to remember my purpose
Spent all night getting bent or if my morals just surfaced Read the rest of this entry »

“This is my momma sh!t
I used to hear this through the walls in the hood when I was back on my pajama sh!t
Afros and marijuana sticks
Seeds in the ganja hat had it popping like the sample that I’m rhyming with Read the rest of this entry »

Exactly. Shame on an aggin who thought they could run game on a some freestyle skits and not include the governor of VA. None the matter. Virginia has video teams, graphic artists and one MC who will be forever nice in Skillz. And he displays just that with a barrage of witty and timely punchlines that correlated to the televised cyphers and spoke volumes for his freshness. Read the rest of this entry »

“I GUESS HOW IT SET IT off will determine how to finish
Finishin’ this is fine, the finish line is the scrimmage
Scrimmagin’ the design, designin’ is by the witness
Witnessin’ from the side, as I’m driftin’ by to the ending
Ending another stanza by beginning to explain it
Explaining an explanation and waiting while you arrange it Read the rest of this entry »

Viva la Weezy! Lil Wayne’s kind-of-new album that was recorded half a year ago just dropped, and like most of his projects, the metaphors, similes and punch lines are aplenty. Maybe it’s because we missed Wayne, but there seem to be an exorbitant amount of similes on I Am Not A Human Being. It was like Weezy said “like” every other line. Our crack research staff at TSS decided to go song-by-song, counting all of the similes for you and highlighting the dopest examples and a few that made us scratch our heads.

Every few weeks, I’ll receive an email either praising or the questioning the shine we’re giving Danny Brown. For the nonbelievers, check The Hybrid on Black Milk’s aptly-titled “Black & Brown.” Read the rest of this entry »

“What if all the songs were in vain
And the dreams that I had never came
And I lost all the blessings I had gained
Woke up in a world that was built upon pain Read the rest of this entry »

There’s three sides to every story: yours, mine and the truth. The Terror Squad offices have had revolving doors since Pun’s passing, yet the commander-in-chief has never switched positions. Who’s real and who’s phony? Who really knows but we do know that Joey Crack sent a volley in Pun’s wife’s direction on his new LP. Read the rest of this entry »

“LIFE IS FICTION, competition and contradiction
Petty perceptions, window dressing for misdirection
Love is a lotto, I know-I know you know what I know
Hope is so hollow, that’s why winos follow the bottle Read the rest of this entry »

We don’t get enough edutainment in Hip-Hop anymore. With the industry in ruins and artists scrambling for the exact same dollar, few would sacrifice the opportunity to get on the radio opposed to conveying a deep-rooted message that may touch younger listeners. Thankfully, Rocky Rivera is one of the proud and few. But she’s no Marine… Read the rest of this entry »
