Vibe Magazine’s Top 50 Hip-Hop Blogs.
It’s not that I’m mad or anything, I just don’t get it at all.
How is ThisIs50 nowhere to be found? Or OkayPlayer? ItsTheReal? KevinNottingham? RappersIKnow? RealTalkNY? KarenCivil? Shoot, us? No shots or anything, but what is So Many Shrimp or Twankie & Glisten? Didn’t realize WorldStarHipHop was a blog. Oh well, enough of me ranting.
Congrats to everyone that made the list. Swiped from AnimalNY.

Interesting list…
Rap Radar in the top 10? didn’t they just go online like a week ago?!
May 7th, 2009 at 11:59 am
This shit is bogus. The editor put her husband on the list at No. 10 when his site is only a couple months old. That says it all.

May 7th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Pause at Prance Hall.
May 7th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
@hiphopgiant
the fact that for me to even have heard of your blog only because you posted a comment on illRoots is a shame.
not only that, but be because you wrote an essay I’m guaranteed never to visit your shit.
smh
May 7th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
spinemagazine.com is more hiphop than all these blogs combined, and they didnt even make this list smh
May 7th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
What ‘Lo said
May 7th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
If it means anything you’re a blog I check for daily and would have def had on the list.
JG
T.R.O.Y. blog
May 7th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
silly list.
lol.
May 7th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
illroots is just below 2db. should be forth.
how is rapradar #10. didn’t they start like…. a month ago.
May 7th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
illRoots is Top 10 for sure.
May 8th, 2009 at 12:03 am
illroots > 2db for sure. both are great and all… but illroots just has a blog feel, more personal. 2db seems to post everything that gets sent to its inbox.
why is wake your daughter up not on here? is it because vibe magazine doesn’t understand underground or classic hip hop? i assume its that they’re lazy – that’s the same reason why illroots isnt listed
May 8th, 2009 at 12:41 am
Only thing I’ve liked about vibe recently, or ever, is their recent covers. Great artistic direction but that’s about it, overall wackness everywhere
May 8th, 2009 at 9:58 am
List is f-cked up for sure and the omission of Illroots.com is a travesty but I have to take up for the So Many Shrimp boys. They are one of the original hip hop blogs that have been doing this for 5-6 years now and the writing thereis INCREDIBLE. They cover regional, underground music like Baltimore and non-commercial Southern hip hop. Their inclusion is well-deserved. Some of the other sites on the list that I have NEVER EVEN HEARD OF, never mind read is another story though….
May 8th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Illroots should be there. So Should http://www.hip-hopkings.com haha!
May 9th, 2009 at 11:33 am
blogs will eventually replace magazines, don’t be mad waxx or any of you other blog heads.
This recession has already eaten a few magazines. The Interweb will be the skeet on the face.
