Yes, Yes, I got it Wensday. Very nice looking magazine. I like the quality but a few minor flaws (PM sent). Overall a very good magazien and I hope to see it grow. I saw your homepage and think the new look is great and it tells me exactly what I would be getting. You should put that here too since the main page was the same for soooo long I hardly ever go. I like the Christmas thing too. Black santa. This is a very black magazine.

Hiphop Yo!

This new one seems better too with less rappers and more producers.

That's important. I'll be subscribing next week. Congrats on the mag.

right now the studio is a nursery so no pics until I get it sorted.

Not sure if there's an offense in there, but yeah, the editor is afro american and so is most of the staff. But Mr Vintage Gear himself; Sean Maru, is a very white man if that makes you feel any better. And no, your subscription money will not go to the United Negro College fund or the Black Panther Party. It will most likely be used to keep the lights on and the content heavy.

You could have put the PM on the forum as regualr feedback. It's nothing bad and nothing that hasn't been addressed or dealt with. The bagging was a very big issue and LOTS of complaints about that. So the DVD-ROM will be inserted in the magazine at the front.

Dipset is Dipset. Love them, hate them it's on you. The idea of the magazine was to focus on one entire camp so it's about everyone in the camp. If you look at it- it's the Producers, rappers and the business all in one feature. Crystal J felt too much time passed between issues to keep that idea as a "central focus" so for now that kind of stuff is being worked on in the background and it will be presented as some sort of special feature for future issues.

"You guys land right between scratch and remix..."

I can't say what the official feeling is towards other magazines, but I know they all come to the office every month. There isn't one that focuses on Hip Hop, Rap and R&B AS A CREATIVE JOURNAL and that's the difference. We're also somewhat Music tech so it's about the gear too. Old and new.

And I agree that the potential is there and when you read issue two you'll see what I mean. Thanks again.

You got the Afro-American mail man on the subscription page. I just noticed it, that's all.

Maybe for the new year, it should be an Oriental Baby.

And it should tie in with XOdus post about the new year and maybe link to it.

Good read.
