Roj breaks down the hit that many of our posts have been taking. See his great analysis: http://www.rojisan.com/blog/2004/08/blogspammer_id_lordroc_sky_god_ent...
Some of us on the list write reviews and articles for small magazines off and online. Many of you do it for free, hoping to just exercise your writing, build...
Fellow web scribblers, some of you have expressed interest in that hip-hop travel log that came out called "Where You're At." It just so happens I was sent the...
Happy long weekend, ya'll. This short note is an encouragement to use the HipHopBloggers to the fullest. Want to spark a meme? Let us know- maybe we'll pitch ...
In my everquest to rule the world, I'm starting another hip-hop blog about mixtapes. I'm looking for some guys to participate (no homo). No money is involved,...
Thanks for the invite and heads up about the group. Mine is not truly a hip hop blog, at least it wasn't started as one...but as the time goes on it seems to...
Popmatters only really has deadlines for it's columns that I know of - otherwise their really open to writers over there with clever ideas too. I still write...
Hashim, Can you please explain "some guys to participate (no homo)" Is this only for guys and not girls? What do you mean by no homo? Homosapiens? What? Thanks...
Hashim thought that I should post this here: For those that don't already know, we recently lost Aaron (http://www.uppity-negro.com/) to suicide. I wrote a...

The two biggest hip hop magazine to my knowledge are The Source and XXL. I want to get a subscription to one the two. I could not make up my mind so I decided...
Both those magazines suck. I would advise against wasting your time with either one. For somewhat competent hip-hop coverage and reviews you'd be better off...
Many may disagree with me, but The Source is still the best. XXL is a shill for everything Interscope. Why don't you get a free subscription to both? Call up...
Oh yeah...lately I get my most thoughtful hip-hop coverage from the NY Times and Village Voice. Ain't that funny. Go Kalefa Sanneh and Sasha Frere Jones!...
Thanks for the props Gilson. This is just fun for me. I found another "feature" of A9 today. If you use the engine Amazon will give you discounts on your...
