The Blogs are Back in Town? · by Rafi Kam
I gotta take care of some ish in the next couple of weeks but things will be shaking up a lot after that. I’m finally moving this site over to Wordpress (the import is a pain but worth it) and dramatic changes are on the way.
In the meantime, for your perusal… Oh Word family have spread like the proverbial mustard seed.
agent b and friends at the minus world are still going strong. They recently got some mainstream coverage with MSNBC interviewing b about their election coverage.
RHS and friends at Philaflava’s TROY blog bring back that ol boom bap. That’s a crowded space to be in for sure but with a great forum for old school behind it, that blog has lots of goodies to make them stand out.
There’s more heads under the tent at Passion of the Weiss with Sach O and Dan Love dropping recent posts there.
At the Black Moon show Saturday night, I finally met Abe Beame (“Hi, I write for your site sometimes”) who has just launched his own blog for hip-hop criticism.
I also met G and Ming from Grand Good and retired blogger Angry Citizen that night. Good times. Oddly, there were Asher Roth quality females in the building even though it was a Duck Down show. They must have known that dude from Gym Class Heroes was going to be making a surprise appearance.

I’m eternally envious that you were at that Black Moon gig. I dream of having a similar conversation with you stateside at some point.
Hope you’re good man,
Dan

PAUSE, AYO, etc.
Nah, but for real I am looking forward to the next incarnation of OhWord and I hope that I will be able to locate my niche within it.
Thanks for the links. And tell us more about the Black Moon show.

The Show was pretty great even though I was at work through the first half. Bucktown was goosebump inducing, as it seemed to be for the rest of the crowd. Didn’t think it was gonna translate live but it might have came off better than the original. In fact the only thing that sucked about the show for me(and Raf) is as I went through security I managed to lose a blunt of trainwreck I rolled in a cab on the way over.
