Posted on July 30, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Media | 7 Comments
We know – you’re sick of this fucking Skip Gates story already. The cable news networks have been especially relentless; I just watched Larry King and Larry Elder circle jerk to no result with Ben Stein and Mike Dyson taking turns on one another.
So since you’re tired of combing the news, we’ve done some work [...]

Posted on July 29, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop | 1 Comment
As you likely know – former-vagrant-turned-alt-rap-icon Cage is one of our preferred artists here at JTTS; just last month he made our 100 Greatest Rappers of All-Time list (which I promise to continue soon).
His new disc – Depart From Me – isn’t the easiest listen. But damn if that shit doesn’t eat away at you. [...]
Freaky Gurls (GUCCI!)
Posted on July 28, 2009 by Martín Caballero - Filed Under WTF | 4 Comments
This is the kind of video that makes you think. Think like ‘Maybe I should have been a rapper instead of a lowly internet blogger’ or ‘What happened to my daughter?’ Makes you think about the state of groupiedom in this here hip-hop game.
I have nothing against groupies and in no way to I wish [...]
Recycled Boston Phoenix Reviews for Trill Gates’s Reprehensible Ass
Posted on July 27, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop | 5 Comments
So I was surprised to see that I somehow got backslapped in the comment section for a post that I did not write – and that was not written about me. The culprit was Trill Gates – a (now) former regular gadfly who likes to talk crazy shit as if his opinion matters. This time [...]
Death of Auto-Tune, But Not Death of Sampling

As some of you might know, a lot of these here hip-hop bangers are really little more than a bunch of guys rapping over recycled music. In fact, that’s the reason that so many older white folks distrust boom bap. They see these it as cheap theft, and in most cases they’re correct.
But what those [...]
Rap Album Covers That Miss California Would Disapprove Of
Posted on July 26, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under WTF | 1 Comment
A few months ago, Trees had a wildly successful post about how Camron is – at least as far as wardrobe goes – the gayest rapper. But the truth is that there’s a lot of ironic gay shit in hip-hop. The guys over at Rap-Up have a good post here about covers that should come [...]
New DJ SmutVillain Video with Domer, Kats and illspokinn
Posted on July 24, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop, Video | 3 Comments
I adore my adopted city of Boston, but I still retreat home to New York at least once a month to check out shows. The underground scene there (obviously) remains banging; you can (still!) catch dope sets nearly every night at either Bowery Poetry or Nuyorican, not to mention End of the Weak on Sunday.
The [...]
Hip-Hop Misogyny. It Just Ain’t What It Used To Be.
Posted on July 23, 2009 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Hip Hop, WTF | 3 Comments
We’ve got different opinions / You feel women should be Christian sitting home knitting and watching children / I feel women should be stripping and sinning – syringes in ‘em tripping while their pimp brainwashes ‘em in a building – Necro, “Light My Fire”
I grew up watching such lyrically cunning MCs as Kool G Rap [...]

Loyal readers will know that JTTS founder Sleezy Trees is obsessed with Karmaloop model Kelly Karloff because they’ll remember this post simply focused on how hot she is, and this post where he asserts that JTTS has launched her career. Well, now Kelly has her own segment on Karmaloop TV where she answers all of [...]
Will 2 Live Crew Catch Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s Back???

As viewers and readers of national news likely know by now, Harvard professor and renowned scholar Henry Louis (a/k/a Skipp) Gates Jr. was arrested in his Cambridge home last Thursday, when police allegedly thought that the nerdy academic was breaking into his own home.
I’m not here to debate who was right and who was wrong [...]
Launchpad TV x DJ ON&ON in the Boston Herald
Posted on July 22, 2009 by Martín Caballero - Filed Under Interviews | 7 Comments
As some of our Boston-based readers may already know, I’m a regular contributor to that fine, daily tabloid newspaper known as the Boston Herald. For the record–NO, I’m not down with Howie Carr. I don’t often post up articles I’ve written for the paper here, but today is the exception. I spoke with JAM’N 94.5–and [...]
