I was young in middle school so Rap Basement and HipHopDX and LimeWire were my go tos. When the blog era really kicked off I was on the other sites. Got into DatPiff 09-10 freshmen year of high school and the rest was history

Even MTV Jams had blog era gems. Discovered Joey Bada$$ and Curren$y from that channel. I saw the MV for Children Of The World by KRIT in 2010 on there and now hes my favorite rapper. Felt like a young A&R. What a time

yea MTV Jams used to show alot of the Creative Control directed videos(Spitta, Krit, DZA, Joey, etc) that were being put out at that time

Episode 5 was dope as usual. The background music be throwing me off, like the somber piano music when Dom Kennedy was talkin had me confused

2 episodes behind but if they gave Spitta his flowers I gotta catch up. Spitta's post YM run with the monthly mixtapes is when I first got up on the blogs

@aceboon

Yup episode 5 gives Spitta a lot of love and he talks about learning about blogs

Blog era might be the last time I generally had fun with hip hop. Brings me back to college, nostalgia overload listening to this

Saw them also s/o John Gotty from The Smoking Section where I was a regular at. Big ups to them for that

Ep 5 was pretty insightful

Never really followed the ItstheReal guys like that so hearing a bit of their come up was cool.

Dallas pen getting at them and calling them vultures at first

[JayStarwind]

Yeah I had no idea either. It was cool that they took the heat. They clearly love the culture and I think it's dope them and Dallas Penn became cool.
