Looks like XXL released their list of the top 100 hip-hop websites, and two of them were created by Fishbucket! (that’s 2%, if you need help with the math…)
A few months ago I mentioned a release party I was at for Common’s collaboration with Microsoft on the Softwear line. Here’s a spot with him talking about the thoughts behind it…
Went to a “Microsoft party” last night… They’re putting out a t-shirt line, and Common designed some shirts for it. Microsoft seemed to be trying really hard to be cool. One of the displays was a big timeline of hip hop and Microsoft history, trying to link the two. Featuring a mug shot from when Bill Gates got arrested as a teenager. (street cred!)
The highlight of the night (aside from meeting Common, of course!) was watching Common perform UMC and freestyle with Biz Markie.
here are some photos I took, and a video that I did not take…
Hey look at that, Common has a new website and blog. You should check it out. I had a lot of fun with this one, and so far the reaction has been overly positive!
And this Fishbucket homepage has kind of evolved into more of a bloggy-type page than it used to be. Blogs Blogs everywhere! Will this newer Fishbucket style mean more frequent updates? I wouldn’t bet on it. But I wouldn’t bet against it either. Please be careful betting.
