Easily one of the nicest guys in hip hop. Jeru was polite, poetic, and overall a gentleman. Not only did he rock the capacity plus GoodLife that night, but he also personally called a distraught Sleezy Trees in the morning to not only thank me for the hospitality from the night before, but to also [...]

Happily Advancing the Eminem Debate
Posted on May 29, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Video | 4 Comments
As I’ve mentioned before, Trees recently gave the JTTS staff instructions to avoid posting YouTube clips that everybody else is propping anyway. If I recall correctly, the only exceptions were if Milkbone or Traci Lords emerged from retirement.
But considering the brutal Eminem debates that have flowered on this divine rap blog, I determined that [...]
Trees of JTTS Gets Props from Sean Price for Making Random Axe Happen
Posted on May 28, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop, JTTS Announcements | 3 Comments
Sometimes those of us who play the sidelines in this rap game get to put a stamp on history. For example – when Rock says “What the fuck is up with your man?” on the Rugged Intellect album, I’m pretty sure he’s talking about me, since I was piss drunk in the studio and [...]

Some of you from around New England might know about music scribe David Thorpe, who writes a column called The Big Hurt for the Phoenix. But I need to put the rest of you on, too, since he busts some of the most hilarious hip-hop news on these here interwebs.

Finally – a topic that none of you fuckers can speak a word to me about. I’m happy to say that I’m one of the few civilians to so far hear the upcoming La Coka Nostra disc, A Brand You Can Trust, which heads have been waiting years for, and which finally drops this summer. [...]
Throwback Sean Price Article – Funniest Shit Ever
Posted on May 26, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop | 2 Comments
I wrote this article a few years ago for Boston’s Weekly Dig after going on a wild listening party / bus ride for Jesus Price Superstar with Sean P and the Duck Down crew. It’s one of my favorite articles ever, but unfortunately it’s no longer available on line. Until now – this one’s for [...]
JTTS Greatest Rappers of All-Time: #90 – Fat Joe

I’m incredibly interested in how readers respond to this one. For me, it’s essentially a no-brainer; growing up in New York, Joe was without-a-doubt the first cat to do a lot of things: first Latin dude to blow up; first MC (who I can think of) to maintain underground ties (D.I.T.C.) while finessing commercial destinies [...]

So I just submitted my upcoming Cage interview for the next YRB magazine. And, as is always the case with Cage, some of the material was just too good to save until the issue drops. Here are a few nuggets:
On the new album: “I was staying at [former Hatebreed guitarist] Sean Martin’s studio on the [...]

As a favor to our loyal readers, I’m going to extend this one critical piece of Memorial Day weekend advice: don’t see Terminator Salvation.
Most of you probably saw this shit coming a mile away. I did, yet I failed to heed the warning signs–no Arnold; no James Cameron; a PG-13 rating and ample screen time [...]
