Guess Who's Bizzack?

Ok so in a million guesses you probably wouldn't have guessed who or what I was talking about but...drumroll please...one of my favourite websites ever is back online.

hiphopsite.com is a must visit, sorry scratch that, a must favourite for any self respecting hiphop fan. I was going to write a little history but DJ Pizzo (one of the site creators) has done such a good job himself that i suggest you read his here if you are interested.

I used to visit this site daily for its features such as News on the DL (a daily gossip/news column), In The Deck (reviews)and their renowned Best and Worst lists. It's a great thing to find a site that stays true to it's beliefs and no matter what pressure or money may be being thrown at it from certain quarters, sticks to its guns and gives an honest opinion. Because of this I always found their reviews to be on-point and would often buy albums off the back of their recommendations.

On the note of buying music, another of the reasons I visited the site so often was to buy music, yes they were based in Las Vegas and I have an HMV down the road but did HMV offer free mixtapes, hats, shirts and other goodies and all for pretty much the same price as buying from down the road (incl. shipping)? (The answer is no, by the way).

So albeit without the store (a victim of the massive changes in music retail), the site is back up and running and it may have a new lick of paint but the old soul is still there. In fact years worth of archived reviews and features have been uploaded so check it out and fill your boots.
