Prior to Big K.R.I.T. winning over the hearts and ears of Hip-Hop lovers everywhere, David Banner was the pride, joy and face of Mississippi rap. Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry to disappoint all those expecting a politically correct write-up on David Banner’s money earner/hopeful single from his next LP, The Make Believe Album, but we’re living in drastic times and minute wasted on a wack song is like a year that will never return. This isn’t even about Banner’s renowned flip-flopping from preacher to pimp to poet before the CD comes to a halt. It’s about a notable figure in the game (for whatever reason) scraping by off the bare minimum to retain relevancy. Read the rest of this entry »

A quick roundup of the latest tracks to hit the Interwebs, leading the pack with Mac before his Blue Slide Park debut hits stores on Tuesday, November 8th. For “My Team,” young Miller puts on for his squad and teams up with Clams Casino, the name behind most of Live.Love.A$AP Mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

After their Semester Abroad earlier this year, Naledge and Double-O have returned to campus. In what appears to be the Kidz’ first official single for their next LP, the simplistic pimp sh*t that is “Pour It Up” pairs the Chi-Town tandem with Bun B and David Banner for a double-time tip of the glass to Hip-Hop’s fallen soldiers. Unfortunately though, some of you might call the song slightly unoriginal, as nothing about its loose theme and loop-happy beat break much ground. But, then again, it is Monday afternoon and more than likely you’re not completely able to follow along.

Hopefully.

David Banner’s “Swag” gets a visual, courtesy of director Jonathan Andrade. I fully agree with the message behind the music and the song’s worth tossing a few pennies into Banner’s collection plate by buying it on iTunes. Otherwise, the M-I-crooked letter MC/street preacher may feel the congregation’s isn’t receptive to message, you know? Read the rest of this entry »

David Banner has a few words to share before you effectively turn your brain off for the weekend. Listen as he directs one at “niggas dissing God, “a white girl” who uses the N-word and pretty much everyone else who sits on their ass, saying nothing in response to either of the aforementioned.

Chris Brown bought out DatPiff and got HotNewHipHop to cosign his adventures in rapping, titled Boy In Detention. Listen if you will as “Breezy “displays his versatility as not just a singer, but a rapper as well.” Read the rest of this entry »

K. Dot’s upcoming project doesn’t have any big name firepower per se, but he’s still earning the respect and attention of his more famous peers. From afar, they admire his work ethic and (overly) dedication. Uncle Snoop and the Mississippi Monster were just hanging out in Compton and offered up some words of encourage for the fiery upstart.

As a writer, I get to sit in front of the computer for hours at a time. To get me through it, I spend most of my day watching streaming movies on Netflix. Most of the time, I’m watching television shows like Archer or Parks and Recreation, but occasionally I stumble upon some gems that require immediate viewing and ridicule.

125 years. That’s a mighty long time to have a company be renown for excellence and high-class standards. Very few can attest to such longevity and Mercedes-Benz just so happens to be a part of the club. Together with their signature emblem and innovative labeling system for their vehicles, they have been staples in the world where four wheels meet the pavement not only for mobility, but for equal parts style for some time.

Snoop Dogg only has one goal in mind when it comes to the release of his eleventh solo LP. If you guess pussy or weed, you’re dead wrong. The correct answer is actually winning. The other two just so happen to come along when that is achieved. Read the rest of this entry »

After a night of being cross-faded, if you’re out of Advil®, the best cure for that migraine the day after is more liquor. So just in case you’ve started get comfortable with Game’s Purp & Patron mixtape, he’s unleashed a sequel, The Hangover, to help you rid those morning after blues. Last week’s offering wasn’t bad, especially in comparison to his 2010 releases, but there was still definitely room for improvement. Read the rest of this entry »

The byproduct of good chemistry could be the gateway to endless positive outcomes. Chemistry, it’s something we preach over here at TSS as you should know by now, all of our reviews are formulated through discussion from Crew members to eliminate personal bias. And speaking of chemistry, up next on our palette is an artist who tries to bring it out of everyone he creates a beat for pitted with another, who, for some reason has struggled with the science of mixing his thoughts with the proper mood and production.

With a dashiki wearing 9th Wonder and unfortunately absent Marsha Ambrosius, David Banner and Ludacris, along with a plethora of curvy Nubian Queens, bring one of my favorite tracks of the fall/winter season to life. Yep, green screen and all. Read the rest of this entry »
