Today has been simply fantastic. First I woke up to stolen pictures of Cassie and her amazingly perky and extremely sexy rack, then I find out that just after 539 posts (8 months) we moved up the blogger food chain.That's right! Today the Top 50 Rap Blogs by Vibe Magazine also leaked (hits stores May 17th) and we were fortunate to grace their list at #20. A few days ago when I found out about the list I immediately started to wonder if T.R.O.Y. would even be on their radar since we're relatively new and cater to a specific readers. Plus we keep to ourselves and we kind of just do our thing with very little politicking going on. So when we found out today that we were ranked #20 out of 50 it was not only a great surprise but honor too. A few years ago Philaflava was ranked the #14 best music spot by Vibe so to receive the love once again its very flattering.
We do this blog for you! We don't get paid to do this and we definitely don't crowd our blog with those ostentatious ads. It's always about the music on here. We strive to bring you quality hip-hop day after day and we will continue to do so.
Thank you Vibe Magazine for recognizing our hard work, but more importantly thank you (the reader) for your continued support, daily motivation and acceptance in the blogosphere.
Sincerely,
Team T.R.O.Y.

ReplyDeleteFo real son!
big props for making the list!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad your forum is a sad collection of vermin, 'cause this site was bookmarked with the quickness. Some of the in-dpeth collections are fuckin great. Evne on your forum there are some deeeeep diggers.
ReplyDeleteUnkut should be top 5.
Wener Von Wallenros'd Humble Little hiphop blog is a must read too and should have been on that list....
werd. Hip Hop Giant puts in major work with vinyl rips. They also have one of the best hiphop forums since Spitkickers' one. Peace to Snoop on that one.
ReplyDeleteCenzi, would you agree that Hip Hop Giant might do well to "put in major work" on Hooked On Phonics and a similarly inexpensive anger management program?
ReplyDeleteGreat! It's something to be proud of!
ReplyDeleteGrandgood didn't make the list?
should be higher than 20 for sure...
ReplyDeletecongratulations...its not easy to support real hip-hop and get recognized for it. i say that b/c look at the current state of hip-hop lol. props to the writers here & many blessings to all the readers. peace & respect,
