As an artist, wouldn’t it be sweet to get remixed? Beyond simply proving you’re doing something right, your song gets an outsider’s personal touch and additional spins from anyone who heard the original, whether they liked it or not – and you don’t do damn thing. Well, both Outasight and his fans should extremely pleased to know that upbeat outfitters Discotech have taken his “Figure 8” title-track to new levels. Read the rest of this entry »

How cool is this? Falside, the original producer behind Action Bronson’s Dr. Lecter single “Imported Goods,” has remixed a track he already produced. Am I having a brain fart or is that the first time you’ve ever heard of anyone doing that? Read the rest of this entry »

Thank Me Later was copped it’s second week out and still hasn’t gotten a single spin. Aside from “Over,” I haven’t heard one song from the album we’ve given our highest rating to all year. On purpose. In some ways, I’m saving it. In others, I don’t care. The hype is over and at least ten other artists have filled any void left open for new music this scorching summer.

Despite my reluctance to like Kels as of late, I’ve silently dug, “Number 1,” his joint with Ker Bear. Now, though, he’s made Beyonce’s best friend his number two chick, bumped up Keisha Cole and has T-Payin’ The Bills on the official remix, so…I’ll enjoy it even more.

David Stern has to be happy after the Conference Semifinals.  Two game 7′s and two Conference Finals match-ups with big names: Lebron Vs. Dwight and Kobe Vs. Carmelo.  So before we look ahead, we’ll take one more look back over the Conference Semifinals real quick.  S.

Words By Jesse H.

Contra™’s last post on Busta’s “Arab Money” political correctness fiasco inspired a firestorm of healthy political debate in the comments.

Now, before I go any further, I respect Contra™’s writing talent, beliefs and insight into Hip Hop culture to the utmost degree, so I don’t want to see anyone talking about no in-crew TSS disagreement. We all have our own individual opinions and beliefs and should respect them accordingly. That’s part of what makes this site work so well. Read the rest of this entry »
