Jan 15, 2016 www.soundspurple.com This is still a work in progress, but welcome to the new blog! For those who didn't know, the last blog ultimately failed due to the sheer amount of content we tried to take on. It's impossible for a few people to maintain a "blog" in the traditional sense (though shouts out to @Flacko / @ODB / @Mike Tyson / @Slyk for their effort with that last time, holy s---) where we post every tidbit of news and hope it makes it to the front page of r/HHH. Though we saw a decent amount of success quickly, we simply didn't have the money or resources to keep it up. We're gonna take this more slowly this time and focus on longform for the time being. That is: reviews, interviews, think-pieces, etc. I'll be focusing on rap for this reason, though we are hoping to expand to all music, sports, tv, film, general culture, etc. s---t me a PM if you're interested in writing/submitting something in any of those departments. I will be handling the writing/editing/publishing portion of the site. @Mike Tyson and @ODB will be in charge of graphics/social media/design/etc. Shouts out to @Charlie Strangelove for coming up with the name. Shouts out to @Soldier, @Mike Tyson, @Blaza, @Big Mitch, @Charlie Strangelove, @Flacko, @THCLUTCH, @Skippy, @Slyk, @Nay Nay, @Changeling, @Dew, and @Skippy for helping nominate and construct the list. Huge thanks to Blaza, Has, Mitch, Changeling, and THCLUTCH for helping write the blurbs. I promise I'll be a real editor and give actual feedback next time Shouts out to @threee for being the only other editor and for his awful australian versions of words like "litre" and "sombre." Shouts out to @Narsh here's your articles you f--- (and on Beast Mode's anniversary no less). But seriously thanks for letting us rehost them. I will have Only One up soon, I just prioritized things that were on the list. Shouts out to @captain awesome for also letting me republish his old articles. Republishing everything will be a WIP over the next week or so. Anyway, this list is already really late, but we figured it would be a good piece to start things off. Let's get some discussion going. SoundsPurple: Top Picks for 2015
Jan 15, 2016 If anyone wants to write for the blog, please PM myself, @ODB, or @BigCountry. This will be a long-form platform for any writers on this site to use. Content will be approved or denied by BC. Also @captain awesome and @Narsh, your articles will be correctly attributed to you this weekend, I have to create writer accounts for you two so I'll PM you guys about that.
Jan 15, 2016 Props on the blog, looks great so far. The top 20 picks was a great read as well. Whoever wrote about The Reach nailed it
Jan 15, 2016 The other way looks so weird man. I also didn't get a notification lol, just to let you know. btw, is it okay if I put this in my resume? Because I don't have much else lol
Jan 15, 2016 I'm taking a journalism class starting next semester, and that's the direction I'll 90% be headed in for my major. So hopefully I can contribute to this in the future. Looks good so far
