In a clip that debuted as a part of today’s (September 8) DX Daily, Charlamagne Tha God explained his contributions to HipHopDX as a blogger after being let go from Philadelphia’s 100.3 The Beat radio station in 2009.
“I used to blog for HipHopDX,” Charlamagne said. “I used to love it ‘cause I’m the type of person, I gotta get these thoughts out of my head, so they provided me an outlet at a time when I didn’t have a lot of outlets so I really appreciate that. One thing you gotta understand about life is that it goes on with or without you. So you either gonna sit around and be upset and disappointed that you were fired or you’re gonna keep it moving. I’m the type of person, I keep it moving. I never say to myself, ‘Oh, I got fired.’ When they call you into the office they say to you, ‘Hey, we’re moving in another direction.’ I look at it as it’s not them moving me in another direction it’s God moving me another direction ‘cause everytime I get let go from a situation I end up in a better situation. So, it is what it is.”
In a retrospective interview posted last month, former HipHopDX Editor-in-Chief Andreas Hale detailed his own memory of the current Breakfast Club co-host’s work for the site.
“Charlamagne was interesting because he was working with Wendy Williams and I think he had just left Philly radio for whatever happened with that Beanie Sigel interview,” Hale said. “He had emailed me randomly like, ‘Yo, do you need any writers?’ And I was like, ‘Sure.’ He asked to start doing interviews and I was like, ‘Nope. I want you to speak your mind.’ Same thing. That’s just how these things worked out. I would screen all the bloggers and see what they were writing about to see if they were on point and not just being malicious for no reason, but that’s just how that started because I like writers with a voice. You can be as technically sound as possible, but that’s my job as an editor—to make sure your shit looks good. For you, I want you to have a voice so people can recognize who you are through your writing. Guys like Meka and [Charlamagne] and Ketchums and Amanda Bassa—they nailed it.”

hahahahah hiphop dx u desperate little rats. Paying charlamagne to make ure site seem relevent
like hhdx 2014 is better
clowns like you desperate for validation
Fuck out of here, DX has been going down hill since 2010. Spelling errors, biased writers, TMZ-like articles, and a fucking awful community; are just a few things that are wrong with it. Do you even remember the article that was completely fucked up, a couple of months ago? There were “?”s in every word, like something did a terrible copy and paste job.
I’m glad Charlamagne made it, I was rootin for him (& BC) since Day 1. Dude thinks like me, acts like me, and most importantly has his 3rd Eye open like me.
He strayed from tha pack of Street Wise “Weirdos” & Free Thinkers & Intellectual Integrity Pursuers like me and got to tha top and helped changed tha world. No groupie shit but I fuckin love it. We out here, we been here, & we ain’t goin nowhere.
I just wish I wasn’t such a waste of skin and brains. I shouldve stayed in school instead of stayed in trouble lol. Becuz without $, Connects, or Education these people will take your intellectual property and then erase you or smear u into non-existance even if you had completely innocent or completely different intentions (3rd Eye). Plus blessings are priceless.
It is wat it is tho. The rich get richer and tha poor get poorer. Fuck a life wen you have yours to live rite.
Salute to tha homie tho. Stay humble & Stay vicious at tha same time. Carry tha torch and move tha culture forward. Make ya next move your best move. And tell Yee to come home, our bed is cold without her lol
– Mr. Jesus Luver
PS: please just make sure that I didn’t give away all this game in vein. I’ll be watching. I love this game of Hip Hop too much to ever leave it. Its my NFL, my NBA, and etcetera
Last binge for tonight
My picture was never completed, it wasn’t even a full outline – let alone colored.
The 360 is more like a 16. The time isn’t here and the money wasn’t there either (ijs)
Good taste sometimes tastes bad
what writing? there is like 3 written pieces on here a year the rest is copied pasted or twitter screenshots
Suck a dick ugly negro
he better leave that god part or else i’m done with this site. I dont enable idolatry nor support companies and businesses who do.
Google Exclusive King Of Age!!! and watch that music video. Not Going To Saturate You With Guns, Drugs & Women. Morals Is Fresh!!!
I remember Charlamagne telling a story about an impressionable young girl being so enambored with his celebrity she fucked him and all his friends just on his order. This exposes the true nature of passive young girls and the fact that we are being attacked directly through our women. This faggot is a massive loser but a young slut will worship him and do what he says. Think about the implications that has on society at large.
And you believe what this faggot tells you????
This is the same guy who said that the 20 or so dudes standing behind Drake, in the “Headlines” video, were soft looking and he wouldn’t be afraid of them at all. A few months later, 3 dudes asked him to do a drop for their website or youtube channel or some shit, he declined. The next day, they asked him again, while recording him, he was about to say no, when two people tried jumping him. He ran away. This is the same dude that said he wasn’t afraid of 20 dudes but ran away from 3.
Too bad HHDX is now run by fucking morons that can’t write articles for shit. It makes me cringe to read the horrible attempts they make at writing an article. And the community is filled with brainless people that do not know anything about hip hop. HHDX always posts pop songs too. This site is going downhill fast. And I am glad.
i thought you left hhdx off your bookmarks. get going then
gossip nigga
Now this idiot can team up with that other useless faggot “Andres Retardio” and make more shitty, no-quality articles.
hater and gossip attention whore
