I realize this rare — editorializing and all. However, I have a favor to ask of all you reading this. Taking my queue from NPR, college, and non-commercial radio stations, I wanted to hold some sort of participatory drive. However, I’m not asking for money. I don’t want your money. I mean, I do because it would be nice to have it in my pockets when I need to buy milk and shit, but I don’t expect it.
But anyways, I’ve been doing this blog thing for one hot minute and really loving it. Not many people visit and I’m totally cool with that (but am always grateful to see that there are even 10 people visiting!). Why I’m running this blog is because one of my greatest pleasures in life is suggesting a song that I love to someone and they in return, derive the same pleasure out of that song as I do. In fact, I’m having something of a quarter-century crisis because doing that isn’t a job and that is all I really want to do with my life: share beautiful music. Naturally, this is a good outlet then and I want to keep it going! So here’s where y’all come in:
Catchy Hip Hop’s First-Ever Audience Drive:
I propose that if you read this blog with any regularity, that you take one second from your day and help me out and share this blog with someone, anyone, anywhere! I’m asking this now because I’ve become completely jaded with hip hop and to be frank (sorry to switch personas on you), I just need some motivation to keep doing it.
One thing that you could do is find your favorite song that I’ve posted and use that link to share on your social networks. Or play a track from the blog for a friend and tell them where there’s more like them! Not only are you helping me and the blog’s growth, but the growth of tiny artists. I pride myself on not posting what a lot of other blogs are posting and go very very very far out of my way to find complete unknowns.
You can also tell them they can stay updated by following the blog on facebook and twitter
I’ll end my pleading here.
TL;DR Need motivation to keep this blog going! Share it with your friends!
