Wikipedia

  1. b-side

    The A-side and B-side are the two sides of phonograph records and cassettes; these terms have often been printed on the labels of two-sided music recordings. The A-side usually features a recording that its artist, producer, or record company intends to be the initial focus of promotional efforts and radio airplay and hopefully become a hit record. The B-side (or "flip-side") is a secondary recording that typically receives less attention, although some B-sides have been as successful as, or more so than, their A-sides. Use of this language has largely declined in the 21st century as the music industry has transitioned away from analog recordings towards digital formats without physical sides, such as CDs, downloads and streaming. Nevertheless, some artists and labels continue to employ the terms A-side and B-side metaphorically to describe the type of content a particular release features, with B-side sometimes representing a "bonus" track or other material. The term B-side carries a more expansive definition in the K-pop industry, referring to all tracks on an album that are not marketed as title tracks.

Rap Dictionary

  1. b-side

    The B-Side or ‘Broadway Boys’ are an Aboriginal based low level street gang formed in early 2000 in Winnipeg’s West Broadway area. Their formation involved the uniting of several members from other, lesser-known street gangs. This gang's immense rivalry with neighboring gangs such as the Mad Cowz and African Mafia (which began around 2004) has made members declare a green light on African Canadian youths who rufused to join B-Side within the West End and West Broadway areas, whether gang-affiliated or not. This gang are also considered to be enemies to the Native Syndicate gang followed by the Northside Kings as well. Many of the members are on the cusp of adulthood and have not yet to challenge other established organized crime groups.
