Previously on "Gucci Mane is smarter than you".
A while back I wrote a post that basically said that Gucci Mane was smarter than you and the majority of your favorite rappers for developing an app around his famous ad-libs. Now Rick Ross is in the news for doing something so simple that not even I thought about it. Already getting traction on...
It's HORUS as in the God, not HORACE as in Grant.
Being from the South, I’m very familiar with the term “BIG ASS CHAIN” (I ain’t lying!). It’s the keystone to the outfit of any trapper/rapper getting major paper and being “dope boy fresh” , a phrase made popular by the self-proclaimed King of the South T.I., usually consist of a couple key elements: A big...
Righchus on the cover of Charleston Scene.
Randy said it best, the Charleston Scene is the same as the Charleston City Paper which is the same as Creative Loafing. Free publications geared toward the young, fun, semi-professional demographic. I totally forgot to post the fact that the big homie, Righchus, made the cover of the Scene’s most recent issue. This is actually...
Ti$a makes quality street music and yes, I'm just as confused as you.
I’m stepping a bit outside this site’s normal stream of post to alert you of something that I’ve been trying to avoid posting for the last month or so. But like a big and a smile, I can’t seem to look away. I wrote about this on the Farthing Collective website when I used to...
Baby needs a new pair of (driving) shoes.

Every once in while the eclectic Seersucker Hypebeast needs to take off his Jordan’s and step into something without Flywire, Zigtech, or a vulcanized sole....
The Rainbow Coalition of rap.
If you’re new to this site then you aren’t familiar with when I had a fit about the most disrespectful, sorry excuse for a mixtape cover that mashed up a picture of Malcolm X & Young Jeezy I had ever seen in my life. Honestly, it’s probably the worst mixtape cover ever created and I...
Nanci O interviews 9th Wonder and it makes me sad.
My big sister in Carolina hip-hop, Nanci O, had the opportunity to interview one of my Southern hip-hop heroes recently. The incomparable 9th Wonder of Winston-Salem, North Carolina was nice enough to sit down with Nanci O and answer a couple of her questions including one that absolutely has my panties in a bunch: 9th...
It seems like common sense…
If you were not aware, the Jordan 6 “Infrared” packs are dropping this weekend and among the spots that you can purchase it from is Atlanta boutique Wish. To coincide with today’s special drop Wish has released a “Infrared” colored self-branded tee. I think this is a genius idea but I can’t, for the life...
