Top Five Hip Hop Blogs

You may wonder where we go to get the latest in Hip Hop news and music; well here they are. These are the blogs that we use; they give you the latest in Hip Hop news and download of new mixtapes and songs.

The First blog that we recommend is Rap-up TV. What started out as a simply Hip Hop blog for Devin Lazerine has become one of the prominent Hip Hop magazines in America. Starting out in 2001 by 15 year old Devin Lazerine and his brother Cameron. The transformation of The blog into a leading Hip Hop magazine. So if you are looking for interviews with the biggest starts and the latest news in about Hip Hop music then we would recommend you visit http://www.rap-up.com

2dopeboyz gained a somewhat unusual upbringing to the wider mass of the music public thanks to Odd Future leader Tyler, The Creator; who at the start of his debut Mixtape ‘Bastard’ cursed out the site for their refusal to indorse the Mixtape only to give a beat in one of his songs to another artist. Other than that episode 2dopeboyz is a great for up to date info on your Rap news and their famed Random Acts Of F*ckery section is sure to bring amusement to anyone who’s having a bad day.
