Haaa thanks. Cynicism aside, I had a little sigh of relief when word got around that you were the one who stepped in to keep UGHH alive and kicking. I'm down to contribute content if you're looking to build more on that side of things. Most importantly, bring back the AOL style chatrooms and make me admin pls THNX bai

As someone who buys cds on the regular, if they just lowered their prices a little I would gladly buy from there. Shit is really much more expensive than anywhere else. I can go to amazon and save money without a doubt, old or new releases.
There's really no competing with Amazon for anyone. People that buy on UGHH are collectors, so we're going to make it more worth their while by offering a collector's experience.
That's cool. To be fair, people who buy on Amazon are collectors too. I consider myself a collector as well as a hip hop fan. I don't know how many OG albums I own but it is close to 1,000.

So by, "collector's experience," do you mean offering more rare and out of print albums? Previously unreleased shit? Just trying to see what will be new about it. I will gladly support, I don't mind dropping money on dope shit.

I do mean that -- access to exclusives and rare stuff, but I also mean a collector's experience for new things as well. How it's delivered to you. What it's like when you open the box. How we follow up after it's delivered. What customer service is like. I don't want you to just get some unmarked box and that's it. I want what you get to be clearly for YOU and I want you to feel personally taken care of in the process. More on that as it develops.

"Quality editorial content" and a "collector's experience" sound great. Per chance, is my man Brian Coleman involved in this at all?

You can just talk TO Sage rather than ABOUT Sage. He can hear you, you know.

No one ever mentioned me being an "admin", and I even deaded my own forum so I wouldn't have to deal with that kind of shit, but you just planted a wicked, wicked seed. YOU PLANTED IT. The fact that you feel so threatened over the idea of me administrating you and your lot with my incredible admin powers gets me rock...fucking...hard. It must be done.

Nah, I'm not that smart.

A year after that I got into a bike accident and didn't health insurance and I had to get a job to pay bills and the first place to hire me was an seo firm.

It was good to chop it up with at SXSW, Mike, about everything and what you're doing at UGHH. And I'm glad you did what I requested and bragged about your Miami vacation. Good shit, bruh.

Mike broke his hand recently, so he's unable to respond to emails at this time. Have no fear though, your orders will be shipped out personally in a timely manner by his wife, the lovely Jessica.

Hit up Adam, he handles the orders. I had a similar issue but once he was on it, he provided me daily updates.
