I know this post is a couple weeks old now, but I just landed on it today and had to comment. Real dope piece and really does make me reconsider the approach on the content I post and direction I’m going with on my site. Great article.

“This is about a level of reach that Compete.com isn’t measuring. A million people might visit your blogs every month but if you have no way to say to them what you think matters, what you have is a bus terminal.”

I very seldom say this, but hot damn, I wish I’d written that.

This was a great piece…grazing over to the follow-up now. As always, thanks for putting in the time to do it right and post meaningful, detailed content instead of PR commentary.

Rafi,

Great breakdown of the trajectory that hip hop blogs have taken since 2007 – as a print journalist (dinosaur) transitioning into online, I’ve been pondering what the lasting effects of breaking a new artist on NR are as opposed to smaller, more content-focused sites such as TSS. I posted an interview up on Nah Right and got crazy hits, but no one willing to build on the conversation or even stay around long enough to look for more. So while some people looking to break a new artist would think that hits = success, I agree that introducing them to a community willing to discuss their impact would do them far better in the long run, and actually give them feedback that isn’t some asshole pause reference meant to tickle their immature peers. And also, sites like this, that I’d rather entertain my RSS feeder with. Kudos.

re: nah right lite

“It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not good enough for the main site. ”

i remember asking eskay why my (the?) first interview with Jay Elect was linked on Nah Right Lite and not the main page few years ago and the response was pretty much that it was interesting but not really enough for the main site.
