Due to the recent controversy surrounding this cut, I thought she could use her own thread.
This cut was found by Analog.selections who received her as 'Super Skunk' from Western Massachusetts.
By the time I received her, it was being called Mass Super Skunk with the caveat that it still needs verification. I asked Matt Riot about it in one of his live feeds and he said that it's absolutely NOT the MSS. He said Analog had contacted him asking the same question looking to verify and nope. Apparently MSS originally came from SkunkVA who has polaroid pictures which show a stretchy plant that produces spears and as you can clearly see in my pic, that's not what this girl is.
However...
Searching through the old ICmag threads I found pics dating back to 2007 that look more like my girl than SkunkVA's. Then JJ from Topdawg makes a post claiming that this is the exact same cut he remembers as MSS from long ago. OutKast confirms it's the one she remembers. Here's a recent post from JJ regarding this cut.

So, I'm hesitant to say this is or isn't the legit MSS, but it's what many people around here in MA at the time remember as the right one. I got into a lengthy argument with Matt Riot in the comments of one of his IG posts which he ended up deleting shortly after JJ came in and said "All I'll say is this.. It's the exact same cut I grew back in the day." I'm almost of the belief that Matt is willing to come to blows on this topic if it came down to it, lol. My only point is that if it's a fake, it seems to be the more widely known cut to have that name and it does have a history anyone can find in the old icmag threads. I'm content attaching the 'Analog' tag on her and leaving it at that.
Here's some pics from other people known to have her. This is all the same exact cut. As you can see, she can express quite differently depending on environment/lighting.
