The 50 Hottest Rap Blogs

I see the new issue of Vibe, with Eminem on the cover (click to enlarge, no fishsticks), as mentioned in yesterday's post about how editor in chief Danyel Smith has Lauryn Hill-like views on race (but, alas, no kids), has a feature in which the top 50 rap blogs are ranked.

I wonder if my blog(s) made the list. I know they don't like me over there, but I'm black, and that's gotta count for something, right? Roffle. You'll recall that a few months ago, this blog was named the best hip-hop blog evar (or something to that effect) by Hip-Hop Connection, the longest running hip-hop magazine, which promptly went out of business. Coincidence?

Long time readers of this site (which is to say, the most committed of losers) will recall that there was a big beef back in - I don't know, like '05 - when kris ex put together a list of the top rap blogs for Vibe, and of course this site didn't make the list. This was back when there were even less rap blogs than there are now. They may have had to cut the list down to five just to make sure I wasn't on it.

But that was before Danyel Smith was there, and hence before the Christina Aguilera incident. (What, you thought I made that up?) I guess the people who were there before didn't like me either.
