Regardless of wearing skirts, wifing a Kardashian, dissing Taylor Swift, displaying erratic behavior, and being responsible for ushering in a whole movement of EDM/rap...nobody can deny how musically fucking brilliant this douchebag is. He's got classic quotables and beats for days. He is Chi-Town's Finest. (Take notes, George) Peep this documentary chronicling the gawd.

For our Boston readers, this week marks the annual Together Festival. For most JTTS fans that doesn’t mean shit, but there's def some acts worth checking.

A spliff in the Commons is the perfect appetizer before seeing the Wally Champ. It whets the Wu Tang whistle. A stately venue like The Wilbur gets even iller when you’re toasted. I wasn’t dusted like Supreme Clientele era Ghost, or that yt Ethan Hawke in Training Day , but the Sour put me in a proper place. Even though we slid in only 20 minutes after the doors opened, Moe Pope had already wrapped up his criminally short set. After the release party for Let the Right Ones In [...]

In terms of "rap music," all I've really been listening to for the past couple months is Kevin Gates. Yes, some other rappers slither their way into rotation, but this shit stays on repeat. Sensitive thug type shit. Since I realize I can't write (other than when berating JTTS readers and contributors), all I can do is introduce you and you'll hear for yourself. Welcome to my ultimate Kevin Gates post. Enjoy. Kevin Gates - Satellites Kevin Gates - Paper Chasers [...]

Had a good Mother's Day with mama ON&ON. She needed a new spring jacket, so I took her to Goodwill in Central Square. I copped her a Donna Karan lil sumthin for $7 and I was a hero. We sat outside on a bench building, while watching three Central Square homeless drunks take turns falling in the middle of the sidewalk in front of horrified fgt M.I.T. professors. We discussed the fact my mother is disgusted with the Cleveland Basement Rapist's mom declaring that she is sorry, and suffering with everyone else involved [...]

From The Boston Globe: This week’s lightning and rain has brought some relief, but Quincy residents worry that the drone of small planes flying overhead will soon return. Residents say that since late April, they have suffered from the sound of low-flying planes, which are making continuous loops above their homes through the day and night. And government officials will not say who is flying the planes or why. “It was every six minutes this loop would take, and it’s doing this arch,” said Michael Gundersen, who lives in Wollaston. [...]

Lindy West wrote this article addressing the typical misogynistic point of view JTTS espouses.  Sure, it's a barrel of junior high school laughs when I get on my soapbox and objectify women for the scheming cock sucking cunts that they are...but at the end of the day...what type of man does that make me? This article compelled me to take a good, hard (pause) look at myself, and reconsider my future approach of fishing for laughs in a low brow chauvinistic, juvenile way at the expense of bitches around the [...]

For the five others of you who may care, here is a glimpse into David Anthony Love's record collection.

Ok - you are fat. You are ugly. You are not welcome at Abercrombie and Fitch. Well at least according to the following meme - which admittedly kinda twists dude's words... but.. The CEO was recently quoted as saying the following: I think this is downright genius. Let's look at the tactic: Step 1) Call out fat people for being fat and ugly and not worthy of wearing Abercrombie + Fitch clothing. Step 2) Get them to make your quote a viral sensation. [...]

If you think I don't notice you jacking our concepts, ideas, and blog poasts - you must be mistaken. You know who the fuck you are.  I don't care if you trying to make a living. That's twice in two weeks. If it happens a third time, I'm calling you out by name. I read and respect your shit too so don't make me do it. - Trees

Ghostface is infamous for his interviews, but it’s the best kind of infamy. His colorful use of language  spawned Big Ghost Chronicles , a blog devoted to his bizarre lyrical stylings and eviscerating Drake . Sample sentence: “Ayo whattup you now in the presence of the mighty Hands Of Zeus aka the grand imperial Cocaine Biceps.” Ghost’s unique brand of stream of consciousness spills over from his rhymes into his rhetoric, spinning looping threads of “nah means” and “yah heards” through which he drops jewels. It’s pretzel logic at its flyest. In that way, he’s like [...]

This is how it goes down at water coolers everywhere around the country: "Heeey, so did you hear about those poor girls that were kidnapped?" "Yeah, yeah...just awful. Those guys were monsters." "Yeah, yeah...awful.....So did you see the guy that rescued them?" "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...MMMMMMM MMMM.....GGGGGGGGGG!" That's America for you. A tragedy that grips the nation is overshadowed by the donkey from Shrek. I'm happy for the brother. Really, I am. But it makes me cringe to think of a nation [...]

Let me preface this by saying 1) This is not a cry for help. 2) I am not really looking for sympathy or a pep talk 3) I just blog reality. I always have and I always will. The last 8 - 9 months have been real difficult for me. As always, change seems to hit me in big waves. As many of you know I recently moved away from my friends, family, and colleagues to pursue what I would like to call "getting my grown man on". I'll try [...]

I’ve got nothin to talk about so I’m gonna write about wine to meet my jtts deadline. It’s no secret I love me some red wine. JK-3PO and Treez can attest to this. I’ll probably be a red wine drinker from now until I die. In a way I see it kind of as a progression. As a yung yt male, most of us start by sippin a beer. Then as an adolescent / pre-teen, you try hard liquor. Vodka, Peppermint Schnapps, Sambuca…fill the bottle up with water so someone’s parents don’t know and spend the next morning puking, wanting to [...]

Some MCs have that voice, an unmistakable presence on any track. Chance the Rapper will never be that dude. His raspy cackle sounds like an over-caffeinated Schoolboy Q, which can be exhausting at times. It’s an acquired taste for sure, similar to eating magic mushrooms. Still, for all these shortcomings, Chance is somehow defiantly nice on the mic. Acid Rap , his second mixtape, makes this abundantly clear. Chance’s whole shtick is performative. Although he’s only twenty, he cut his teeth coming up in Chicago’s spoken word scene—a very [...]

18 year old, Baton Rouge producer, suicideyear , has been blowing up my Twitter timeline all week. After releasing his debut mixtape, Japan , my internet/meme/nerd world (whatever Trees calls it), went apeshit. Since most JTTS contributors and readers are still stressing about sour (2013) Wu Tang news (go figure), I can see y'all ain't ready, but personally I can say that Japan knocks and this kid will undoubtedly shine. If you're as high as me, join me in listening, as we ascend beyond the tallest of cloud mountains. Meet your angelic concubines and eat more [...]

A black man in Trees' neck of the woods; North Carolina, was spotted drinking an Arizona in a parking lot. Some type of dt approaches him, and before you know it, black man is on his way to jail. Part Two

From New York Post: Hot 97 DJ Calvin “Mister Cee” Lebrun was busted for patronizing an undercover cop on a Brooklyn street corner, police said. The 46-year-old music producer allegedly asked for sex from a man of the night who was standing on the corner of Madison St. and Broadway in Bushwick minutes before midnight on Wednesday, sources said. The acclaimed DJ was hauled into custody and released on his own recognizance, officials said. The alleged encounter wasn’t Lebrun’s first pay-as-you-go sex bust — he pleaded [...]

Rap beef has come a long way since Pac and Big were gunned down. The latest nonsensical beef comes from Method Man, who stopped a show to point out that he doesn't appreciate Macklemore walking on the crowd, as opposed to crowd surfing...cuz he started that shit. He then instructs the crowd to "drop him like a bad habit" if he attempts that shit....cuz that's his shit. Check please.

AraabMuzik was apparently shot in the back, and is recovering in a Rhode Island hospital. Conflicting reports range from an attempted robbery (the kid is known to rock some expensive jewelry) to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. JTTS comment section regular, Mr. Murph is from them parts...perhaps Murph can fill us in on what the streets are talmbout. Get well Araab!
