Haven’t thought about Okayplayer since bout 2009
Sad
Time moved on
The folks on the boards always joked about how no one clicks their editorial content. The interesting stuff was said on OKP boards.
In the editorial staff's defense it seemed as though OKP wanted everything written with that corny ass bohemian BLM flair. Now they have to fire everyone because the world knows that shyt is played out. They DO cover interesting stuff but it's done in an uninteresting way.

I don't think I ever read anything from there when I was on those boards. But random people I know in real life who aren't "messageboard" people would sometimes send me random okp news from their IG account so I don't know maybe they been doing numbers all along with that casual news demographic

A lot of these media companies are dying a slow death. News is everywhere no need to even pay attention to some of them. Some don't even post about music, it's all gossip.

The World of Black Cosplay is Leaving Out Fat People
Cosplay continues to grow in popularity among Black people. But for many plus-size individuals, it’s much harder to participate in the activity.

“We Actually Have Gay Rappers:" Hip-Hop & its Complicated Embrace of Male Queerness
With the rise of Black feminine gay rappers, male queerness in hip-hop has become less taboo than it’s been before.

Exactly, this bullshyt is on Twitter. You don't need to pay ppl for it.
Surprised it lasted that long, people used to say nobody read any of the front page/news type stuff when the boards were popping, the boards been dead for at least like 7 years now, I don't know what type of traffic they're getting.
