Some of the Blogs/Bloggers/writers That I Enjoyed in 2010....@MusicNerdery, @jcrillz, @elledub_1920, @jayhovawitness, @PotholesInBlog and more....

For some of you this may seem like 'suicide'. It isn't. This isn't a shark tank man. We all do what we do in our own lane even if we ride on the same highway. So I don't mind giving out props to these folks. Some of them are a LOT BIGGER THAN me in this 'Net World so maybe they don't 'need it'. That doesn't matter to me either. I am just here to tell them that they are appreciated and that I see them.

My dear friend E! from Cali is ON TO SOMETHING over there. She is all over the music scene out there and personally turned me on to Kaki King, the reemergence Latoiya Williams and she keeps up with ALL OF THE LATEST HAPPENINGS with a passion and vigor that I love. She is currently in the process of revamping things (even though I love the way things are now) and is ALWAYS LOOKING TO MAKE HER PRODUCT BETTER. Look for more behind the scenes pictures, exclusive Ustreams and just out and out good stuff from this Cali girl and her movement. Oh did I mention she seems to know EVERYONE out there in addition to anyone else who comes THROUGH there? Yeah...She does. Did I mention that she gets a lil political on her spot too? Oh...she does. I think you will like it. Go check it.

I mean the name is SELF EXPLANATORY. You can't find any female MCs out there? Go to their site. You wanna know what your favorite rapper who gets no press is up to? Go to their site. Oh you like videos of concert performances of famous and almost famous musicians alike? Go to their site.

I could cliche you to death about Loryn. I won't. All I will say is that if you want to have discourse with a real young lady of color who is well rounded about ALL SUBJECTS, go get at her site. It will take to you to her numerous outlets on the Web. I would keep the judgments about her mum 'till you get to know her work and not take her seriousness on some subjects as her being not appreciative of others...

He should look familiar. I won't say too much about where he has been 'cause it speaks for itself. As soon as you see his name (or face), it will all come flooding back. He is one of those folks that a lot of people who do this are trying to be. Been where they are trying to go. I happen to be privy to a few (I said a few) of is innermost thoughts and beliefs and he would surprise a lot of people with those. He is currently working with a new artist that I have featured here before....@MikeJaggerr....that is when he is not out interviewing the Drakes and Lebrons of the World. Very very good person to follow...

The name alone should make you want to follow if you know your music. Dope dope site. You need to peep it. I happen to follow one of the contributors to the blog (Your Bucs are looking good homie....) and he is a stellar follow OUTSIDE of the blog. I am not sure if he knows that I even peep his blog like that. I do. Very good spot. Got check 'em....

Now there are MORE PEOPLE THAT I follow whose work I LOVE and I will be pointing them out like I always do. Just wanted to give some recognition while it was on my mind and I had the time to do so. Ya'll are appreciated. Keep doing what you do in '11!

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind. Again..the site's official email is thewarehouseblogspot@gmail.com if you would like to be interviewed. Hit me up.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
