Everything You Need To Know About: The Site Returning

Ive seen the comments, I know most of the links are dead, and im aware that I havnt posted anything in forever. This will all be changing soon though! I was somewhat caught off gaurd by the onslaught of stuff that happened all at once in my life. The birth of my son and my main computer crashing made it hard to focus on this blog, but rest assured, it is coming back.

Im hoping to start re-upping the links within the next week or two, then im going to work on revising and editing some reviews and upping some new underground gems.

And for all my readers out there with no accounts who simply post as guest. I encourage you to create an account of some kind and at least follow this blog, that way you can stay up to date with the link re-ups and new post. You can also help the site out by stopping through every few days and clicking the album links to make sure they stay live, every little bit helps.

Thanks to everyone who's been patiently waiting for new links, I know personally how frustrating it can be to only find one post on an album you're looking for only to have it be on an abandon blog that no one moderates anymore. Changes are coming, patience will be rewarded.

Peace

Rather then make another new post and clutter up the blog I decided to just edit this bad boy and let everyone know whats up. As you can see I have been somewhat more active on the blog, hitting you guys with a brand tape and announcing a new series along with it. My next goal is to re-up all the downed links and to re-write some of the reviews. I like to think I have grown slightly as a writer, and reading some of these old reviews is somewhat "cringe worthy".

I recently purchased a very large external hard-drive and will be in the process of transferring all of my cd's to it. What this means for the site is that I will be able to more quickly upload, and re-upload albums. As it is now I have to track down every cd from my collection and rip it, zip it, then up it. This way should save me a lot of hassle and be much more convenient. I've had people ask me why I don't just grab links for the albums that are already on the web. To that I answer this; I want everyone who visits this blog to know that what they are downloading is 100% safe. I never want anyone to feel like they may be getting a virus or a bunch of junk with their album. With that in mind I rip and upload everything myself to ensure absolute security.

And there you have it. With any luck I should have this place back up and running again in no time. I'm currently hard at work at putting together more of "The Remix Files" series, but as of this moment right now my main concern is getting these links back up for the good people who have stopped through, only to find them dead.

I am looking for help. 2 things you can do to really help this blog. The first being very simple; pass on the word. Let your friends know about this place and help me pull in a few more readers. I would really like to build this site up and make it in to something rather special.

Second I am looking for a team of people who can go through all the links I post every Month or so and just hit the download button to make sure they stay active. I was doing this myself for a while, but with every album I add it gets to be more and more tiring. If you're interested in helping then please email, it's a very easy thing you can do that will help me go a long way. I'll even give you a shoutout in this post when I edit it later...haha. Zshare says that links stay active for 60 days then go down if no one has downloaded them in that time. Should be easy enough right?

That's all for now. Check back again soon for more updates and thanks for taking the time.

In the process of getting all the links up. The majority of them are actually up and going as of right now. Just rounding up a few of the mixtapes and everything should be good to go. Also getting ready to post up some new album's, then i'll be editing the older reviews and expanding on many of them to fit in to my new review style.

Also just a heads up. Not every album I upload will be obscure underground gems. I'm working really hard on creating a site that will expose any type of music fan to an album on the opposite end of their usual spectrum. Personally I listen to every sub-genre of hip hop. Mainstream, Underground, and everything in between. I might be listening to some of Snoop Dogg's pop records, but then turn around and dig right in to a rare Rodan ep. I love it all.

Basically what i'm saying is for every few underground joints I put up, I will also be upping one or two mainstream joints that I really appreciate. All I ask is that you keep an open mind.

that's all for now. hit me up if you have any questions. Peace.
