Over the past year or so the site has grown exponentially beyond levels the two of us never envisioned and, whether you realize/like it or not, you, the visitor/lurker/shit-talker, are partially responsible for said growth. So we figure we’d give back to the many fans and supporters (and yes, even the detractors. If you’re reading this right now and feeling a certain way about it, then you’re likely one of them) of the site by throwing the first-ever (2)Dope BBQ, all in the name of a worthy cause.
Hit the jump for the when, where and why of the whole thing.
Come on now, you really think I’m just gonna blast out the vitals here? Keep checking in, however, and I’ll drop more details as we get closer to its August date.
sounds dope.

“Come on now, you really think I’m just gonna blast out the vitals here?”
Ummmm yeah. It’s an event thrown by a website, so I would assume the info would be on said website. Maybe i’m missing something but to me when a company wants to promote their event, they announce their info via the route most of their patrons will view it. But hey thats just me.
Props for remembering about Haiti though

but you’re saying this on said site. thanks, though, for without your clicking over here you’ve helped getting my bills paid that much easier.
are people really complaining about a “benefit” though? good grief, this country’s future’s gone to shit.
Meka said this on July 14th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Haiti isn’t cool anymore.
You should start raising money for the Miami Heat bank-account to get more than 3 players signed for the next season.

yo Meka is it going to be something like 40 OZ Bounce party that took place in Washington Heights?
can you give us more details on it.
Brooklyn bound said this on July 14th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
why would it not be in ATLANTA? with all the obvious reasons as to why it should be here. ATLANTA the best place to have it. I would be shocked if it wasn’t here.
jrideaux said this on July 14th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
i hope karma kicks you haiti haters in the ass.
the golf crisis is corporate fuckery. having a charity event for that would be like giving a.i.g a bail out. Haiti is a national disaster that needs years of rebuilding.
c’mon son. where else but nyc, seriously -___-
micaaaX3 said this on July 14th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Atlanta? pshhh shit sucks, you guy’s destroying hip hop music you dont deserve this. plus meka live in nyc and shake somewhere out in cali so it im guessing it will be either in nyc or cali
Eli Porter said this on July 14th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Ey Meka – did you just realize this country’s future has gone to shit?
If you stayed up on current events aside from Hip Hop, you’d know that most of the money already ‘raised for Haiti’ isn’t getting to the people. And the chosen one Obama is fucking up the country something fierce. Banks are whole and making money while keeping money close rather than loaning to people and small businesses. Obama has golfed more in his short time as president than Bush did in 8 years. And now his administration is stoking the race wars and race baiting so the Democratic Party has some supporters when elections roll around. Not exactly easy to support for anyone with integrity, no matter party affiliation. So yeah, go ahead and say you’re ‘paying your bills’ when people come here to set you straight. Clown.

wtf.
Mek is in NY its most likely going down there

@Whoo_MI989 said this on July 14th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
good idea food plus music .. ..but i tink these sites admins tink there growth has to do with any QUALITY, jus because u got 20 people trolling 200 times really doesn’t increase its overall populaity in any way ,
and comments like “”complaining about a “benefit” though? good grief, this country’s future’s gone to shit.”" dont really apply to most of the 10 000 users who download a fresh leak ,but only 2 percent comment/lurk/troll and i bet a majority are young immature teens, the majority really dont comment,
i love this site and it really gets the leaks fast and has the biggest community for rap hip hop blogging on the net, not even sites like onsmash and rrt and xxl hiphopdx doesnt have the indepth convo like this site does
in conlusion i tink this site would greatly benefit from a lil more moderation and maybe registered accounts where people can make actual good read comments and show up in a different way.
This site has potentiali but like any site like youtube ,annonymous comments sometimes bring the site into a child like place instead of deep thought provoking music talk.

There’s a lot of hip-hop blogs out there but I always return to this site.
The layout is dope and I have found out about hella people thru this site (Blu, Co$$, TiRon, Pac Div, Smoke DZA, Big KRIT, QuESt, Nero, Dee Goodz, MeLo-X, etc…).
Congrats on your successes.

If Meka is throwin one in NYC, then maybe Shake should throw one in LA. Both coasts can be happy :)

Whoever said fuck Haiti needs to bellyflop off a skyscraper onto the sidewalk.. If there is a worthy cause involved (no matter where in the world) that is a positive thing. This could have been for the Gulf of Mexico or whatever. The fact that money is being contributed anywhere that assistance is required is commendable. If it’s in NYC I will probably be there.
