@aceboon you gotta edit the thread title, the whole pod isn't just about NahRight lol

But I listened to the first two episodes last night. They did a great job recounting the rise of blogs based on how major labels and album sales were trending. Glad they mentioned Bol, that nikka was the OG Hater, similar to what Akademiks is now

good looks I just edited, my original post didn't make mention of nahright, I think it got merged with someone else's that also made a thread about the pod and had it in their title

I never knew of or heard about NahRight.com before this podcast. Most I knew was Rap Radar, 2dopeboyz, HNHH, HipHopDX, RapBasement and the mixtape sites like DatPiff and LiveMixtapes

20 minutes in and I've learned so much Episode 1. Best podcast I've heard in years

word? NahRight was one of the big dogs, but I wasn't on there that much. Episode 3 is mostly about NahRight

The Smoking Section was my go to because they were more "journalism" focused with long form interviews, profiles and good analysis. Most sites were just posting a brief writeup with the links to music. Plus they had a Southern slant which was more my speed. Their former writers are doing big things now. Bansky co-hosts Kevin Durant's podcast. Gotty who started the blog, Justin Tinsley and David Dennis all work for Andscape/ESPN

I was young in middle school so Rap Basement and HipHopDX and LimeWire were my go tos. When the blog era really kicked off I was on the other sites. Got into DatPiff 09-10 freshmen year of high school and the rest was history

Even MTV Jams had blog era gems. Discovered Joey Bada$$ and Curren$y from that channel. I saw the MV for Children Of The World by KRIT in 2010 on there and now hes my favorite rapper. Felt like a young A&R. What a time
:wow:
