“If It Ain’t 808 In Da Trunk, It Ain’t Knock…”

I have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing the those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from. It’s also funny...

“Gangsta Sh#t…” - André 3000’s 5 Hardest Verses

I had the misfortune of catching Eminem’s best friend’s show, Wild N’ Out, a few days ago and Big Boi was a guest host. One of the comedians asked Big how it felt to share a stage with someone sporting a pointy bra. Yea, it was funny, but Big shot back a simple response about how Dré would probably...

Andre 3000 - “Lookin’ 4 Ya”

There aren’t many things I want more in Hip-Hop than an Andre 3000 solo album. When and if I’ll ever be blessed with such an item, only Andre and whatever higher power you pray to actually know the answer. Found on DJ Envy and Tapemasters Inc.’s Purple Codeine 25, this track is exactly...

Outkast’s “The Clock”

It’s no secret: Idlewild was nobody’s favorite Outkast album, nor was the movie akin to some ingenious cinematic masterpiece that would have the AFI gushing through the next three millenniums. But alas, when dealing with the Aquarius and Gemini, there’s always a couple jewels to gain...

“I Just Got One Question…”

Man listen. I know there’s a difference between fashion & personal style. I generally don’t “judge” other dudes sartorial choices. None of that. I can hear the “who cares what another man does?” comments coming. I don’t care because I gotta know… …does...

Wire Tap: If Rappers Were Characters From The Wire

Words By Jesse H. It’s been a year and I still miss The Wire and all its characters. We said our final goodbyes in 2008 but recent endless viewings of the DVD box set had me feeling sentimental and inspired. It’s the “Who would play me in a movie?” game further realized and repurposed,...

TSS Presents Smoking Sessions With Big Boi

The name Outkast has been synonymous with Hip-Hop for so long that most of us probably forget the correct spelling is with a “c.” But it just goes to show how the genre has produced some of the finest musicians the culture has ever witnessed. While the multi-(insert accolade/achievement)...

Bored. Stop. Rewind.

As with any lifestyle, Hip-Hop gets old from time to time — slipping into a state where I don’t want to hear another boom bap, basic 4, hi-hat tap, two-step-able beat. Events and shows become an obligation as I stand in the back choking down a bitter by-the-glass wine or Heineken. Even wack...

Aquarius + Gemini = Aquemini

Deviation. The path less traveled. The mastery of one’s own art, not of another’s. Aquemini. Though ATLiens pushed unruly boundaries and set the tempo for Big Boi and Andre, Aquemini created a moment where everyone was excited about potential; of Outkast, of Hip-Hop and of music in general....
