Rick Ross = The Next Jeezy?

Rick Ross (feat Jay-Z and Young Jeezy) - “Hustlin'” Remix
I'm not gonna get on the bus for Rick Ross yet. “Hustlin'” has that summer vibe to it, but I'm withholding my judgement on whether we'll be caring about this dude later in the year. Oh, and as with most of his collabos, Jay kills it [...]

Allow me to reintroduceexplain myself…

Last night I got this email from an “avid reader from Texas” who was turned off by my recent comments about hip-hop. She had the nerve to call me a sellout because I had the nerve to post some Bloc Party tracks (”THAT AIN’tHIP-HOP!”) she said. WTF?
But after careful reevaluation of what I wrote, and [...]

Prince is the New American Idol

Outkast. Pronounced Outkast.

(written by my homeboy Sivad Davis)

My apologies

I'd like to apologize to the faithful Couch Sessions reades about my lack of involvement with the site lately. I basically have begun working the night shift @ my job (930p-730a) and its more of a killer than I expected so getting used to it has been a new experience. I should be [...]

New Music: Pharrell and Kanye West - “Number One”

Damn. It seems that we've all been waiting for Skateboard P’s album for a hot minute now. Well, the album will officially drop on July 25th and the first single is gonna be “Number One,” with none other than Kanye West. I'm diggin' it. It’s the classic Neptunes vibe that we've gotten used to, [...]

If y'all didn’tknow, there is a new article in Entertainment Weekly entitled “The end of Outkast?” that’s making its way around the internets. Read it and [...]
