Industries spent years laughing at the blogs, ignoring the blogs, fearing the blogs, getting close to the blogs and robbing the blogs. In 2011, a whirlwind of forces would come together to make sure there were no more lifelines.

Skip goes through his list of monikers he acquired over the years. He has been a huge fan of ItsTheReal and their creative of numerous monikers for each episode of "A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal". In all seriousness, these monikers showcased different aspects of his personality and he worked on getting more. Silly episode but definitely big up to Jeff and Eric of ItsTheReal. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skipchronicles/support

By 2010, so many of the bloggers who'd set out to subvert the gatekeepers had become them. Resentment grew: from a new generation of artists, from heavily-financed competition and especially from the labels. More money - spent on building websites, growing networks, signing acts and retaining lawyers - meant closer scrutiny on what started out as passion projects. And it all would come to a head as families gathered around the dinner table.

No two artists better symbolize success and downfall than Kid Cudi and Charles Hamilton. Massive talents, major deals, mental issues. But their paths after getting on could not be more different. As the culture became less about artist discovery and celebration, blogs, in order to get engagement, became dependent on chasing page views at any expense.

If the 2009 XXL Freshman cover was a celebration of the blogs, the 2010 edition was a significant crack in the blogs' foundation. Space had never been a problem on the internet. But now, artists were no longer focused on being one in a million on NahRight.com; they wanted to be one of ten on the cover of a magazine.

For years, absent options, artists and bloggers focused on independence. But fuck it! Money! In 2009, it was time to cash in. When Complex started their vertical ad network, NahRight was the first website they even approached. XXL, long in the business of promoting larger-than-life stars from the majors, went left and selected ten blog-friendly rappers to put on their cover. Thanks to this, names like B.o.B., Asher Roth and Kid Cudi got a ton of attention and major label offers.

Blogs evolved from a gathering place for people looking to waste time into a prime platform for content creators: from early podcasts to sketch comedy to low-budget/high quality music videos. And thanks to those very same blogs, artists figured out just how far the internet reached. Curren$y, Nicki Minaj and Dom Kennedy, once seen as niche, regional acts, found fans from coast to coast and then some. For the first time, artists could get free distribution, create a very loyal fanbase and pull in millions of dollars, without the weight of a label behind them.

In 2008, bloggers - who discovered, posted and leaked records with impunity - built momentum. With the spread of these mp3 websites from big cities to unheard-of regions, power was steadily being seized from the record labels. There was success, copy-cats and egos. But there was also a harsh reality: blogs weren't making any money. Eskay, running the most notable site of them all, watched both the landscape and his competition extremely carefully, and decided that he was ready for a giant, new fight.

What started as a small outlet for eskay to celebrate underground music, in two years became a destination for artists like J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Wale, Big Sean and so many others looking for a co-sign outside MTV, Hot97 and XXL Magazine. When NahRight, a rappy-rap paradise, bent its unwritten rules to post Drake, he became a huge deal. With a growing audience and growing influence, suitors began incessantly knocking on eskay's door.

In Downtown Manhattan, a small group of friends attracted attention worldwide thanks to MySpace. There was so much talent within this community: Kid Cudi, Teyana Taylor, Wale, the Cool Kids. But it was Mickey Factz who broke out first, once he was posted on a website called NahRight. The music and media industries didn't take notice until January ‘07, when DJ Drama - the biggest mixtape DJ - was put on the ground by Georgia police with RICO warrants. The dominos tipped and The Blog Era began.

Hey guys, if you've been wondering why this feed has been so quiet as of late, it's because we've all been busy! Jada has a coffee line. Styles has a PB&J line. Sheek has a new lighting accessories line. (He doesn't, but wouldn't that be fire? Sheek's Shades?) And we've spent the last three years quietly and diligently working on a new podcast called The Blog Era. It's a fascinating look into how the music superstars of today were put on by a small group of kids behind keyboards. This 10-part docu-style audio series - which traces the rollercoaster ride of 2007-2012, when hip-hop met the internet - features stories from 150 influential voices, including Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Joe Budden, Bun B, The Cool Kids, and many, many more!If you love the wit and thought and care that's at the root of every 2J2BD episode, you're going to LOVE The Blog Era!! (And don't worry, we're definitely working on new 2J2BD stuff, coming soon!!) Make sure to listen to the first two episodes of The Blog Era RIGHT NOW wherever you listen to podcasts!!

Most people don't create their own career, Jeff & Eric Rosenthal did. They are not what you would expect when you say they have a close relationship with pretty much anyone who is a titan in the Hip Hop Industry. Instead of being artists themselves, they played to their strengths and in the early days of Youtube made Hip Hop Sketch Comedy that went viral and gave them a name in Hip Hop. After several years of consistently making videos, they launched a career where they've done everything you can imagine. Interviewing 300 people in the Hip Hop industry including Rick Ross, Cardi B, Mac Miller and everyone in between, performing at Bonaroo, making mixtapes with the like of DJ Drama and 100 other feats in the space. Most importantly, they were able to build a career where not only do they built what they wanted to while chasing not money... not power.... but respect.
