Don’t know if it’s actually the interview of the year but Forbez said it so it must be true.

So it’s been discussed the hiphopheads team has voiced their opinion that I need to get back on track with site updates,  forum discussions and all around happenings. I’m a busy ass man,  I work 3 jobs I travel like a mufukka,  I do this podcast thing you might know about and I attempt to post on the site as much as possible.  I don’t have any help with it, I’m a one man show,  one man army,  lone wolf and whatever else you wanna call it.

I want to thank everyone who’s been visiting for the decade + we been on the Internet. We’ve had out ups and down and downs and ups and some of you have stuck around which I’m Thankful for.  One of our issues with moving forward is our lack of social media presence.   Yes the sites connected to Twitter and Facebook but I’m not really active on either of those sites and perhaps for the better of the site I should be, honestly I don’t want to get wrapped up into social media as it seems to consume people.  Maybe someone out there wants to work with me and do that aspect of the site for us.   Hell I’d even pay the person monthly,  not much mind you but who’d complain about making some extra scratch for little to no work?

For years friends and followers have been telling me to make money off the site put ads up etc.  But I’ve prided our site as being one of the few that’s not forcing some ad down your throat,  but maybe that’s the next step if we want to be successful.  I haven’t made a dime off this since I started and it was never my intention to either but if I can bring in my money I can invest more money into the site.

I’ve explained before while I’m a guy who runs a website, I really have no clue how websites work. I don’t know SEO,  I don’t know ads,  I don’t know much except about how to bootleg.  I took over this gig for the almighty Pete Allah who owned hiphopheads before I took over in 2004 which a year later I started TheCryptOnline and not to float our own boat but we kinda jumped off posting music,  movies and TV shows on blogs.  After numerous shutdowns,  labels,  rappers,  producers hating on us I decided to change the direction we were headed. 

Goin in this new direction left some heads in the dust as we stopped the leaks other blogs decided to take our  cue and copied our style and made it big well of course until they shut down or went legit.  My idea in the beginning was to school ya on underground/asian movies,  good TV shows and put you on to new underground rap and revisit classic albums. So far I think I’ve only been successful in one of those and I want to change that. 

Well,  I’ll shut up for now and hopefully you’ll see some content changes around here more than likely not but it’s the thought that counts.

The Supervisor is back with another smash!  This time he’s got Bad Intentions.

I was excited for The Strains release after seeing the above artwork and knowing Del Toro had something to do with it.  I didn’t know what to think and had no clue it was a vampire show at first.  Their spin on Vampires was refreshing,  treating Vampires as a disease/virus/infection.  Sadly the show went from being a smart,  scientific show about vamps it quickly became shallow cover your ass show. 

I feel like the season was only half good  and typically I’m all for violence and brute force but somewhere along the way The Strain lost the magic it had.  It became terribly predictable and the main tough guy on the show was 80+ year old man swinging a sword like he was The Highlander.  He would get bitch smacked and thrown to the ground without breaking a hip unlike the average old man. 

The finale last night was pretty garbage,  the old man got smacked and thrown to the ground again.  The son continued to be a burden,  the Russian and pest control need to get a room and the Mexican  doctor remains useless.  Well also learned the sun only kills some Vampires and instead of attacking a vamp while he’s down, were gonna stand circle jerk around him and let him escape.  Oh yes and every bite moonwalks back to o where they came from.

If this show continues the Mexican boxer who’s story line and presence that’s been uneccessary this whole time might show some value as it looks like he’s sided with the vamps.  I mean after the vamps kill your family and friends I guess the next thing to do is roll belly up and join them. At least things are happening for him unlike the old gang who’s been working and fighting all season to only accomplish nothing and fall back to exactly where the started.

I’m a sucker (hioo) for Vampires so I’ll watch season 2 if there’s one but for new viewers who are gonna invest 10 hours into this series beware.  It’s cleverness wears off but keeps you around due to some decent violence and old men getting smacked around regularly.
