“Whoever wants it can get it,” says Poet on the phone from QB. “I’m making decisions right now about whether to start a war. It can be anybody — pick a nigga, any nigga. Everybody’s talking shit like they’re the best — well, let’s see, let’s get it popping, motherfucker. We can battle without shooting [...]
JTTS Greatest Rappers of All-Time: #87 – 50 Cent
Posted on June 30, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under 100 Greatest Rappers, Hip Hop | 5 Comments
50 Cent was the first truly famous rapper who I ever interviewed. And he wasn’t even really all that famous yet. “Wanksta” had dropped – and New York was amped – but he was no more a mixtape legend than were then-heavyweights like Jae Millz and Mysonne.
I don’t even remember the magazine that hired me [...]
FREE DOWNLOAD: DJ Premier x Michael Jackson
Posted on June 29, 2009 by Martín Caballero - Filed Under Free Download, Uncategorized | 2 Comments
As I sat there staring at Trees’s post, wallowing in the hopelessness of poor Faraone’s situation, this came like an answer from the heavens above. DJ Premier, that great bastion of hip-hop, he who’s judgement cannot be questioned, drops this tribute mix to the King of Pop through his website. As you might expect, it’s [...]
faraone, you’re contrite handling of MJ’s death is as lame as a Euphrates x Necro collabo.

Another One Bites The Dust…R.I.P. Billy Mays
Posted on June 28, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Media, WTF | 9 Comments
Now here’s one that nobody saw coming. Billy Mays (of Oxi-Clean and Orange Glo fame) wasn’t frail, nor was he cancer-ridden. The guy wasn’t even old. With a beard like that, we would have guessed he’d outlive all of us here at JTTS combined.
But according to the always-right Fox News, Mays was just found dead [...]
Much Love To My Homeboy In The Playas Club Up In The Sky
Posted on June 28, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
This post has nothing to do with Michael Jackson. Nor is it a joke. Also – I’m not ripping on Farrah Fawcett, or anyone else who has recently passed. Lastly, I’m not here to solicit sympathy.
But the unfortunate truth is that my homeboy Jamie Hall died last week. I went down to his wake in [...]

The Two MJs
Posted on June 26, 2009 by Martín Caballero - Filed Under Audio | 4 Comments
Excuse the turn of phrase, but yesterday the rumors just wouldn’t die.
Farah Fawcett died in the morning, Michael Jackson in the afternoon, and by night time my friends and I were studiously trawling Google News search to confirm or deny reports of Jeff Goldblum falling off a 60-foot cliff while filming a movie in New [...]
FREE DOWNLOAD: Revelation – The Push Back Mixtape
Posted on June 26, 2009 by Martín Caballero - Filed Under Free Download, Hip Hop | 3 Comments
Nobody’s getting paid these days. Whether you’re releasing a free mixtape as promo for your upcoming album, or your releasing your actual album, shit is probably going to end up on the Internet for free either way. That’s reason enough to give Revelation (of the EMS crew, which includes M-Dot and Mayhem) his due props. [...]
Hey Vibe Magazine – Fuck You – Again!
Posted on June 26, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Media, Rap Beef | 3 Comments
So we guess Vibe magazine didn’t learn its lesson about making lists after Trees threw a mean chokehold on the rusty nonsense publication a few months ago. In fact, they’ve made matters worse with their “Best Rapper Ever” vote-off.
Their list is very different from the illustrious Greatest Rappers of All-Time countdown that we’ve been doing [...]
Where Were You When You Heard The News?
Posted on June 25, 2009 by Sleezy Trees - Filed Under WTF | 12 Comments
I just want to state, I never turned my back on him though all the bullshit that fame brought him. I never believed the charges. Yeah, MJ was weird & eccentric, but he was also THE illest solo artist that the world has ever seen — and may ever see. He came from a pre-internet [...]
Rest in Pieces Michael Jackson
Posted on June 25, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Video, WTF | 5 Comments
While ordinary folks rushed to Facebook and Twitter this afternoon to share their sentiments regarding Michael Jackson’s passing, I was spreading the word about this here Mr. Hyde and Necro track, which has always been a personal favorite.
If you’ve never heard this cut before, brace yourself – and before you comment that this is way [...]

What other cartoon movie featured the voice of Orson Welles as a character? Much less Optimus m’fuckin Prime?
Instead we get this new Michael Bay’d out version.
