True story is that some of these folks have held down their block on the internets longer than DP dot com, but I just got tuned into their sites so they are kind of new to me. They are all listed on my blogroll, but if you are short on time here is the skinny on why I am checking for these sites.

BETTER THAN YOURS – The veteran of this group is led by JEROME BAKER. This site covers everything that the hip-hop movement should know about. Music, entertainment, fashion and the internets down-low(no brokeback) info. It makes you smarter like staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

CONCRETE LOOP – Far from rookie status, C.L. is one of the internets M.V.P.’s. I steal her celebrity pictures often because of their quality and resolution. The LOOP just revamped their site something major. The new site uploads quicker and she posts new items several times daily so if you need a fix on celebrity gossip this site will be your red top crack vial.

PATTYOPOLIS – One part of the West Coast Blogging Hotties cartel. PATTY loves to engage her readers on a personal and humorous level. She will openly discuss a bad date and include some embarrassing details and then ask the reader to recount their own miscues in love and life. It’s a dope technique for bringing people out of their respective closets (no BB for me, closets are for all my clothes).

MODEL MINORITY – How about a blog site that dissects all kinds of topics from rap music to racism? How about a site that is written from a female perspective? A few weeks ago I asked the folks at Model Minority what was up with the picture of Hottentot Venus in their sites header. The lead writer answered with a post about the story of Hottentot Venus and her modern day reincarnation, BUFFIE the Body. Good shit.

BRONX RAP dot com – BR dot C is a true internets rookie. In only a few months on the web I have seen some dope vintage music videos from PETE ROCK and the D.I.T.C. crew. I hope that he keeps up the good work and keeps raiding the YouTube archives. He also laced me with the KARINNE ‘SUPERHEAD’ STEFFANS p0nro flick. Nah’Mean?!?

AMADEO SOGNI – Another veteran that I just got up on (no brokeback, as always). AMADEO approaches serious discourse about love and social isues. Of late he has fashioned a few lists that beg your time. Because of him I was inspired to go get a haircut and groom myself better.

BIOCHEMICAL SLANG – Check this brother’s site A.S.A.P. Homeboy has a good musicology sensibility as it relates to the past, present and future. Not too many cats in the game are still giving shine to BILL WITHERS and DONNIE HATHAWAY. This dude could be ‘Rookie of the Year’.
