I feel like making this thread mightve been the nail in the coffin poster to poster bickering is ridiculous but 99% the time if I've added negativity its been artist directed. And don't nobody tell me constructive criticism. Why be political or even polite. Tippi u need to come back. That discord s**t is a slap in the face to what l=l did for us here.

I don't see it that way and I doubt |=| does either but maybe i'm wrong. I still lurk on here and post every once in a while but as far as it being the main place I go to actually have discussions about music it just doesn't seem viable or worth the time/effort in a lot of cases. If I had to choose between posting a thread about a new album i'm excited about here where maybe two people will join the discussion, or posting it in discord where at least 5-10 will appreciate it then the choice is obvious, but sometimes I take the time to do both like with that Defcee album. So it's nothing personal really, it's more or less that there used to be a handful of open minded people on here that had similar taste in hip hop as me and almost all of them are gone I think except eseph and maybe a couple other people I can't think of atm.
I enjoy the trolling to some extent but when it's hyper negative it gets tiring eventually no matter if it's directed to a member on here or an artist, especially when there's not enough legitimate discussion to break it up. There's nothing to dilute it, I guess. Also people on here knew that selah wasn't doing so well and still went out of their way to antagonize him and I think that's kinda f**ked up. I hope that guy is doing alright.
tl;dr : where are the bandcamp embeds at?

Lots of valid points all around. It’s got me thinking that maybe we need to lay some ground rules and enforce them. I know we stayed away from that to keep it like the OG forum, but this isn’t the OG forum and it isn’t hosted privately.
Honestly, insulting artists is fine to me. That’s part of being a public figure, but the personal attacks from member to member, well, that s**t is just grating. It’s 2021, soon to be 2022. No one is winning an insult contest on the internet anymore. Honestly, the members who do that both take an L in my book.
First step is making the the forum visible without having to log in. Next step would be for me to let some new members in (I approved 15-20 accounts earlier this week). If Ollie (or whoever) wants to make 100 accounts, go for it. That’s an investment in time that will be squandered as soon as the accounts are banned one by one.
Having the page be public would help and allowing some new users would help even more. It would be steps in the right direction for sure.

Here’s a draft… drop some feedback of other guidelines that could help this place be more welcoming and engaging.
Entire site: No racist or bigoted content allowed (this includes images, text, videos, etc). No threats or deeply personal insults towards other members.
Any post made that violates these rules will be deleted and the user will receive a 50% warning. A second violation will result in a week of the account being disabled. A third violation will result in a Global ban.
Hip Hop Board Topics must be about Hip Hop/Rap. We all know the genre is widely varying and we aren’t here to enforce a purist or elitist view. If it’s about Hip Hop/Rap music, culture, art or entertainment, it will be permitted (indie, mainstream, experimental, etc).
Self Promotion - Self Promotion is permitted by CONTRIBUTING members (once per month). If you aren’t a contributing member (regularly participating in discussion threads), self promotion will be permitted in the Producer, MC and DJ Board. Any members violating this will have their post removed from the Hip Hop Music Discussion Board and given a 20% warning.

I've texted with selah for the last week str8. He's ok. But its his place to answer questions. Love the guy tho. Like minded I understand but wen someone disagrees its aspergers city. Autism is the leading factor on the internet over bi polar or whatever the f**k else. The inability to admit defeat, say ur wrong and just shut the f**k up. But its music and I guesssss its subjective. Things are different sometimes, not bad but sometimes they are bad. Just retard city around here, d**k swinging contests, fake tough talk. Its just f**kin lame. Even if my interest in the music has waned I could still come up with topics. Its the traffic but usually if not the first, one of the next comments is gonna be some bulls**t. Everybody here can't be the loudest guy in the room.

I will stop the personal insults and racist stuff but you may as well shut this site down. I wouldn't lose sleep over it. It's a niche dying sub genre for years. You have to look hard just to find decent stuff.

He posted his photo he was a G. Bullies, trolls try to cause fear online everywhere. It's creepy but can prepare us for reality as well. Too much will indeed turn quality people away. No one has time for that as an adult. I like this place for some people. On Insta and Twitter I've connected with incredible people and artists. The key is to choose to team with good people. That's how I built relationships with artists like Pumpkinhead - r.i.p and so many others I've built with for over 12 years and we're still strong!

Discords are booming .
the people who begged for many of the changes in the first place deleted their accounts or don’t even post .
we never got the mod of the emcee board . even though it’s rightly deserved . now it’s basically a dead board .
there is an entire new generation of hip hop heads . 18 year olds . extremely opinionated .
who couldn’t care less what us old heads think . generally it’s great .

Umm 2 sea turtles and method man lol cmon. Ll got a Barry bonds head from so much steroids. And dougie u could put a wig on him and he looks like an old church lady. Meth looks great tho. Its genes 75% of the time 25% is how u live, anxiety level, sleep and what u put in ur body. Its all good. Damage is done. I've smoked for over 20 yrs. My lungs would only repair so much if I stopped. But I'm not. Even if I had one day to live and god said u could have two if u stopped I wouldn't. I don't wanna be miserable. Its routine and habit. I don't like those things changed.

I used to social smoke ciggs but quit. Why not vape disposables for your nic kick?

But again I do that occasionally. I'm gonna stop that completely as well. It's better than cigars to me. When I hit Vegas I smoked Marlboro 100s in the hotel room. It's a vibe, but again not healthy. I'm still mango club y'all!!!
