“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...

“Spaceships Don’t Come Equipped With Rearview Mirrors…”

Two years after it came out I still get goosebumps when André starts his verse for this. And I’m eternally grateful this came out before every Tom, Dick & Harry (||) had the means and gumption to throw a verse on this classic song. But a few things come to mind listening to this:

ATLiens x Aquemini

I can remember being 10 and getting down to “Rosa Parks” at the roller rink, gripping a bag of black cherry Warheads in my left hand with a suicide in my right. We all know how we feel about these two records. Whether you were in high school and ATLiens capped off your ride to school everyday or...

Bombs Over Pitchfork

A few months back, my school held a job fair and Pitchfork set up a booth. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to live a dream I’d had for a couple of years. I coolly walked over to the booth and introduced myself, telling them I write for TSS. Things were cordial for a second until Hip-Hop entered...

“Put Some Soul In It…”

If you don’t respect Cee-Lo Green’s musical talents, or shall I say ‘perfect imperfections‘, there’s a slim chance I may lose respect for you musically.

“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...

TWTW: The Interviews Edition

Generally, I try not to be boastful. I feel like we do what we do, do it to the best of our abilities & aim to meet our high standards. If we entertain you all in the process, that’s great. If we receive a kind comment or our work spreads to other e-corners & more people are exposed...
