Re: RIP UGHH

Mike KNEW for the longest time that Quest contract was ending Feb 1. Quest did just about EVERYTHING on UGHH except fill the actual orders. Mike didn't hire anyone to replace Quest nor did he have Quest train anyone on anything. Mike should have been on top of all that MONTHS ago. I answered most o...

If I ain't tell y'all, we started a magazine at UGHH. I think this article aligns with your interests.

Re: RIP UGHH

Glad to see the site survive, it's sort of like a beacon for underground hip hop. Hence the name haha. I'm glad merely cuz the boards will still exist and that's where I get 95% of my hip hop info. As someone who buys cds on the regular, if they just lowered their prices a little I would gladly buy...

Re: RIP UGHH

I think Mike thinks some creative SEO will change the outcome, but I'm almost certain the physical store is the cause of this. If you eliminate the overhead, and do a mail order out of a house (like say Sandbox does now), with zero staff on payroll and zero expenses that come with owning a B&M, the...

None of them would have been anywhere near as famous. Literally none. I think they are all thankful they didn't go with Rawkus.

Re: Nothing about the new Pharoahe?

Just wanna add that I was at the release party losing my shit.

He brought out Lil Fame and did No Mercy and I grabbed some guy I didn't know behind me and a Mindbender moment. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW?!!!!!"

It's tight to just be a fan, yo.

Re: Jay Electronica "better in tune w the infinite" ft. LaTo

What's up with Jay Electronica appearing on joints and getting forgotten lately cuz someone called a rapper out by name?

Sounds like President Carter recorded in a bathroom. Verse is far more spirited than the entirety of MCHG. Enjoyed.

Re: Rap Genius gets a 15mil investment

Google was a bit heavy handed on this one.

What RG was doing isn't actually against the guidelines.

RG's self-admission and then snitching on their competition was a bad move though.

I just wanna point out how ironic it is that Mindbender and I are the biggest Drake fans here.

It's a bizzaro world where company flow is the new pop sensation.

Re: "How To Drake It In America"

Listen to "Comeback Season" the mixtape before "so far gone" where Drake has songs with Elzhi and Little brother and shit. He was a rappity rapper before he started singing a lot. He wasn't much different than most of the Toronto area dudes that love Dilla shit. He's completely capable of blacking o...

Love this song, but his videos consistently ruin the songs for me.

I don't need a 5 minute comedy interlude in a music video that's not actually funny.

Kinda curious what the curmudgeons of rap yesteryear think about a site like that.

Dry Snitching or cool resource?
