      1. I can’t promise u will get rich over night with my program but i can promise you one thing and that is my opportunities are free and legit.. if you want to make money without spending a dime Sign up here ……………. 0rz.tw/7CrrT

    1. Great commentary. Some of Wu Tang has always had beef with the media since the days of Rap Pages when Masta Killa punched Cheo Hodari Coker in the face for writing a Wu article in 1994 for making Ghostface Killah and some other Wu members into cartoon characters in the article. Nothing new 20+ years later.

    2. Maybe its cause hip hop journalism is generally pretty irresponsible and poor quality. Meth is preaching truth. Niggas got killed over shit these tabloid constructed. Real talk, this site is becoming the example.

    3. Got the chance to meet Method Man during his UK Tour.. Really awesome guy, very humble. Also Him and Red know how to get the crowd going during a show.. incredible.

    7. There’s so many issues and co-issues to explore regarding hip-hop culture and the “hip-hop press”.

      There’s a balance to be had, and a natural tension that exists between the press and the bands/artists.

      “Quality hip-hop journalism” really depends on various things: the writer, the editor, the publisher, and the subject(s).

      Of course, things can be distilled to applying best-practices to journalism of all kinds, and applying it to hip-hop.

      Traditional magazines of all genres are disappearing every year. Hip-hop is not immune. ROLLING STONE used to keep rap at arm’s length, allowing outlets like The Source, RapPages, the black fanzines (Right On!, Black Beat, Fresh!, etc.) to be the default coverage outlets for hip-hop, with select “alternative music” mags like SPIN or New York’s VILLAGE VOICE had some modest hip-hop coverage going back to the 1980s.

      The level of professionalism for artists/bands widely varies, as does the professionalism of writers and editors.

      At one point, going back to the early 90s, you had certain writers who, let’s say while shadowing a group/artist for a feature story, would co-indulge in whatever the artists were doing during the interaction– drinks, food, “other substances” (i.e., blunts) and (for male writers), women. the more embedded writers would share relatively intimate circumstances. Then, when the story comes out– however it’s put together– maybe there’s an element that the artist now finds unflattering. The more reactionary people now cry conspiracy, set-up, vow revenge, disavow the publication, etc.

    8. Meth’s really bitter all his solo albums flopped (yes even Tical was so so at best) and trying to blame somebody.

    9. Meth is 100 percent right. The media is a big part of the problem. Publications like this and others to be fare are paid to make certain artist popular. The journalism on the site is for 15 year olds who are into hiphop. If this site and other took journalism seriously they would have stories we are all wondering. Like what is really going on with Cash Money. Does Birdman have money issues, is he having tax issues, or even asking simple question like what is the relationship with the artist he was representing. That is news. Or! Better yet, ask why certain artist aren’t getting radio play, or better yet impactful questions like is album sells a reflection of lack of real artist. Without impactful questions and topics the culture will never move forward.
