Okay I'm Re -loaded
Thank God for web friends , The Fam, and many other blog constiguents, who have helped me to take a thorough look at Privacy, Blog Expectations, and Desire. I do believe my expectations were high even though I knew the outcome. Tapemaster gave a thorough description on why he does what he does. I have heard that from countless others who have stuck to their own agenda and that is to educate listeners and share their music. S.O.U.L. made me think about how much I really wanted to do this, Gil and many others were simply supportive in whatever way I went. But what really made me change my mind was my experience on the other sites that went private. It becomes the same group of folks who comment and you don't get to share with the world, the younger generation doesn't get the education, ol headz don't get that walk down memory lane, thus defeating the purpose. You do not have to worry about me crying about this thing again. The only decision I will be making of this magnitude is to quit all together and I don't think that will be happening soon! I am back and here to stay things may be slow things may be fast but I aint going know where and there will be no more messages or threats to go private!!

sounds like good news! Many of the non-hiphop blogs I visit have went private and that sucks ass.
ReplyDeleteI haven't reposted anything from your blog in awhile but still this is the spot to catch those 90's mixtapes. It would have been shame to deny all those who don't know (the youngstas) what they were missing.
Yeah that was my concern as well Hamza!! After weighing my options it was more pain than what it was worth!! Over the years I have witnessed many hip hop blogs and R&B, Funk and Soul go private and yeild negative results!!!Some even switched to forums that had difficult stipulations to maintain as a member. My reasons for doing what I do is now out waying the non commenting, non posting folks. I also thought about what you said at one point when you mentioned if you forced people to comment imagine what you would get!! There are tons of forums now filled up with Propz ProPz Propz but real comments few and far between!! The way I see it now is true headz is going to be talking and others well you know let's hope they enjoy the music!!!
ReplyDeleteHey man I really understand how you feel and what you have gone thru. Fly by night browsers stoppin in and downloading and not even saying thanks. Its fucked up but it is what it is. You know the Fam has your back. Olskool I look at you as a pioneer and a educator. You will never get the respect that you deserve because it is to easy to take and leave without saying anything. But this is great news and maybe the leechers will wake up and appreciate what you do.If they don't I do. I know what time and effort it takes to do what you do. Thanks for everything man!
ReplyDeleteDaaaammmm you hit us with a bomb man some nice drops out of nowhere :-). Nice to see your back Olskool. Like Gildog said your a real educator. You thought me alot about the real old school & you triggerd me to dig much deeper into the old school
ReplyDeleteSame here Gil and S.O.U.L when I was going through all this decision stuff I thought about all of us that had been holding it down from day one and I was like nah I aint going private man that sucks!! I had sites lock me out rather purposley or unpurposely and it took some work to get on them but when I did I felt like people were responding just to get in or stay on instead of really giving strong responses to the music. I'm here to stay so buckle down!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a Kansas City Faggot right now.
