If you are one of those folks who have been here since the VERY BEGINNING, you remember the days of STAGNANT activity here. Struggling to find content. Sparse visitors. Maybe....MAYBE...two posts a week. Yeah, I remember. TRUST ME. I remember it like it was yesterday. Well we have evolved a bit but I am STILL not satisfied with where the blog is now. I am THANKFUL for how it looks but not ready to stand pat..Soooooooo.....I will try to up the ante even more. Here is a summary of the blog and what lies ahead...
You probably have noticed SUBTLE changes in the blog. A new sidebar, courtesy of Blogger actually, some more interviews and the like. I want to CHANGE what the TOP POSTS are on the blog. I feel like in order to do that I need your help. I have gotten tweets, emails and the like about the 'content'. Now I am, in case you didn't know, a MALE so this is a VERY MALE BASED SITE. I do recognize though, that we are a fickle breed and that some sort of CATERING to the many females who do come here is probably in order. I was going to try and wait until I made this an actual website but I may just reconsider.
What will this mean to my male followers? Well, not much if you watch porn/what have you honestly. Which I know most of you do. You are probably gonna just have to 'get over it' if more men start showing up on these pages though 'cause ya'll are not clicking the ads. (Yes, I know WHO CLICKS them and who doesn't..) In addition, you are not the only ones who come here. Am I talking about PENIS SWINGING FROM THE POSTS? No. C'mon man, I HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS SHIT TOO so nope. This is no more Playgirl than it is Playboy so no. What you might see though is an increase or articles with males with pics. That's what you might see. We will see how it plays out. I don't even know how EXACTLY I am going to tackle it either. Again, it isn't something that I would EVEN 'look' for so...(hint..hint...SUBMIT IDEAS OF WHO YA'LL LIKE AND YOU KNOW LADIES...)
That is not the only change though. I often allude to just how much I HOLD BACK on the posts of the females. I am about to lift that a tad. I don't post a lot of stuff that I know I have seen HOURS, SOMETIMES DAYS before those other places that I see ya'll link up in your Facebook statuses, your Twitter or hear ya'll talk about in general. I want in on that traffic so yeah....You might see EVEN MORE than you have already seen. See? Compromise gentleman (and ladies who come to see ladies). So you will DEFINITELY be seeing more and not just of the same people either. Gonna keep branching out with the new finds. I will try to provide Twitter names in the titles (I am sure you have noticed the @'s in the titles) as I can find them but if YOU KNOW THEIR TWITTER NAME, forward the links to them. I have not gotten ONE negative tweet back in regards to that. It is all promo and everyone wins. My goal is to change who/what the most looked at posts are on the blog. Hopefully you can help me with that.
Promotions with other blogs & with 'known' people. I don't want to call them 'celebs' but you basically get what I am saying. I do promotions with other blogs, shout them out and all of that but that is another area where I have been kinda holding back. I am in the process of talking with several folks to see what we can do to help each other out. So look out for that.
The rants......They won't be stopped. Actually, they will increase too. I know that might mean addition by subtraction for some of you though. Its aight with me. I will live with it. There are people that LOVE IT WHEN I SPEAK so I will continue to do so. Never seen one? Type of "Grown Folk Talk" up top in the Search box. See what you get....
'Speaking' on albums...I am not sure how many more of those I will do but I will DEFINITELY do that again. Great feedback and response on it. It will be done in the same manner as the FE joint so that may stop me from doing it with YOUR FAVORITE album.
My own personal pictures....I will probably start using this medium to put those up too as I am taking more and more shots I have deemed 'suitable' for public viewing.
Pics like this one (You have seen it if you follow on Twitter)
Promotions for local artists/underground/not well known/etc will continue including the FORMAL introduction of someone I am GOING TO WORK WITH PERSONALLY if we can work out the kinks. Will I be shoving him down your throat? Naw. Will you see him and his group HERE? Absofuckinglutely. I will give you a hint. If you like 'classic' hip hop, you will enjoy him. If you don't want that, you may not. Obviously, if I put him on here, I will want you to like him but this won't be the only place he will be featured.
Continuation of spotlighting people, artist, bloggers, writers, and just all around good people on Twitter will still happen as long as Twitter is that go to medium. Some of you have read WAY TO MUCH into me spotlighting people so I had to fall back on it. I am quarterbacking. Not receiving. (See if you can figure out what I am trying to say....since you took the logic leap with me even spotlighting people to begin with...) If you point out more males, I will spotlight them too. I have spotlighted all the ones I know who are about shit WHO NEED IT (I know more but they don't need the press so..) so by all means, send me some more.
Other than that, it will be business as usual....
