Call it hate, call it what you want, but I'm confused as to how Rap Radar can be number 10 on Vibe's top 50 rap blog list.
Like what are the credentials, a blog can't be in the Afrosphere unless it's been a blog for 6 months. So how does a blog become a top ten hip-hop blog and it hasn't been on the net for more than 2 months. I'm disappointed in Vibe for this one.
To top it off, RealTalkNy can not be found on the list anywhere. Maybe I'm out the loop because I thought most people checked out Nigel's blog. (He never responds to my emails but damn dude still has a top 50 blog at least, in fact I'm convinced that Nigel should have been number 10 and Rap Radar shouldn't be on the list, off of principle alone).
No Itsthereal, no nerdwithswag, hell there was no blogxilla (for the record blogzilla is a relationships blog but he blogs just as much hip-hop as bol and he's on the list).
Check out the complete list. For the record I have noting against Rap Radar I think Elliot Wilson himself would agree with me that it's pretty hard to be a top 10 blog when you've been blogging for less that 2 months.

Shoot, with VIBE's lead time, RR might've been a couple weeks old when they made that list.
They should have included Hip-Hop Kings in there.
What email you sent me?

RapRadar only got props cuz of Elliot Wilson's old XXL ass... i agree...it's no top hip hop blog.
Can anyone tell me why I can't get to Rap Radar??? It always just says server took too long to respond.
Got something to say?
