Lloyd Feat. J. Holiday & Nicki Minaj - “Take It Off”

Go ahead and focus on the picture for a few moments. It’s cool, I did the same thing. I’ll wait. Alright, now that we’ve got that out the way, let’s get down to business. I’ve been a Lloyd fan since the “Southside” days and the fact he’s got new single...

“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:

Pill Speaks

Some people are so captivating that you could listen to them talk for hours. Pill is one of those people.

“Harry Assh*le”

My Shuffle caught me slippin’. I avoided this song for THE longest time. But last week while getting my cardio on, I decided to load that Webbie mixtape to see just how terrible the mixing was (it was horrible). That’s when this song snuck in and just…to be honest, Boosie’s...

“Bun B and Me”

I made my first visit to TSS because a friend of mine told me the site had the then brand-new song, “Get Throwed.” When I wrote my first ever Hip-Hop article for a little blog at Davidson College (which I later submitted to Gotty™ while trying to join the Crew), I wrote about UGK and how genuine...

“Leaning” - Review Of Slim Thug’s Boss Of All Bosses

After the underwhelming success received for his freshman album Already Platinum, Houston native Slim Thug decided to do his best to distance himself from the machine that pushed him away from his roots that was Interscope records. Since his 2005 debut, he has released two group albums along with his...

TSS Presents Smoking Sessions With Bun B

If you ask any celebrity, they’d probably tell you that media day is nothing short of a royal pain. Dozens of interviewers calling to ask questions about an upcoming project, droning off repetitive inquiries. Bun B, one of the most down to earth rappers you’ll ever come across, seems unfazed even...

“Da Game Been Good To Me” - UGK 4 Life Listening Session

The first time Bun B soldiered on without his UGK co-defendant Pimp C, fans of the revered Port Arthur, Texas duo didn’t fret. Bun capably held shit down as a solo artist and the faithful knew that the pair would be reunited once Pimp finished his prison bid. But only two years after Pimp came home...

“Still Living This Life…”

I was 10 when Pac and Big died. Today, I understand how big these losses were. At the time though, I was relatively calm about the events. But when Pimp C died a year ago to this day — that shit hit me like a ton of bricks. Gotty™ said it best when describing why Pimp C is so beloved:

Merci Beaucoup…

I wouldn’t usually listen to a song that starts off with Akon saying “…bendin’ over, spreadin’ eagle, all that ass in my face…” But, the Underground Kaaang’s “Hard As Hell” gets a pass. With it’s light and innocent, guitar-infused R&Beat...

“Get Throwed”

Words By David D. Nothing tests my love for Hip-Hop like a long ass road trip. There’s only so much I can take in a 16 hour drive before I start to detest any collection of rhyming words. I just threw the iPod on random and about 9 hours in, each song started to run together and my eyes got...

“Underground Thang” - Review Of Bun B’s II Trill

Despite II Trill being Bun B’s second solo album, both have been Pimp C’s just as much as his own. 2005’s Trill was a vehicle to keep an incarcerated Pimp C on the mouths and minds of everyone within earshot as Bun carried the banner of U.G.K. and Port Arthur, Texas on his shoulders....
