Boycott Hiphopsite.com...

[Ipatch]

A while ago they advertised having Yesterday's New Quintet's Stevie album on vinyl. It was interesting how low key they were about it... usually they pump up all the Stones Throw releases, but they just snuck this into their new releases section. Seemed a little suspicious...

So I asked a good source about it yesterday, and they said that yep, the Stevie album had been bootlegged, Stones Throw didn't know who did it, and they're VERY pissed. They plan on officially releasing it but are adding new tracks to make up for the jack move.

That's FUCKED UP. I hope the air conditioning goes out at HHS.com and the Vegas sun melts all their shit.

Yes, apparently the Justus League Mixtape they are selling is also a bootleg. :(

the justus leage is NOT a bootleg
they contarted us to put it together

it was handcrafted by 9th wonder himself
just like the the gods stepson

i would go and bad motuh hhs to much
seeing they are the most artist friendly site
they go out of thier way not to sell bootlegd shit

[DEMiZe-]

Oh word? I never knew you were down with JL..

.. Thanks for clearing that up then. :D

[highlife]

I don't know man, I think they knew exactly what was going on with that Stevie vinyl. Sandbox never had any... And they press up their own shit, 7"s anyway, so who knows how dirty they were with that... I've been to the store in Vegas a few times and everybody there is super cool and helpful, but this isn't the first instance of shadiness I've heard about them.

in this business it is hard to stay on top of everything
you canb buy from a reliable distributor and then a
bootleg can slip in....read hhs front page they by far
are the best at avoiding bootlegs

and if they were gonna kill thier credibility by selling a bootleg
im sure it would be something better than YNQ

as for 9th wonder
because of things like kazaa & soulseek people are
putting together thier own justus league comp and
9th wonder remix lp's for the record there are only

We Created The Remix I
We Created The Remix II
God's Stepson

and the Justus League Double CD (HHS Exclusive)

Actually I think that would be the perfect thing to bootleg- there are a lot of heads that'll throw down $20 in a heartbeat for anything Stones Throw or Madlib, yet it's not like somebody will rock YNQ at a club where the wrong person might hear it and get pissed.

Yo pm I hope you're right about them being on the up and up. But I know they were selling these, and it shouldn't be too hard for them to know if it's official or bootleg. I have a lot of trouble believing they didn't know what they were doing.

[S...]

So that "9th invented the Remix" joint is official or no. The one with the HOT ass Common rmx on it.......... not a bootleg i hope.

[deejaysteelo]

hip hop site and sadbox automatic are both notorious for selling bootlegs, but then they diss on the other website for doing it. those two sites have been beefing with each other for a long time.

[the pm]

S...
if you have the 9th wonder we created... cd
with a b/w cover & a cd with his logo on it
and it came from sandbox then its real

[Orbt1]

yo pm how do you know all this about hiphopsite.com

[the pm]

[Ipatch]

Gee, what a coincidence... somebody tried to e-mail me a virus last night after I posted this shit. Damn, that's gangsta...

[DEMiZe-]

No I'm not a big enough computer nerd to be able to unravel that stuff... actually, I'm not even a big enough computer nerd to really care- I'm laughing right along with you. Shit IS funny, but like I said, heck of a coincidence too...

I gotta go dig up my Rockwell "Somebody's Watching Me" 12" now...

people try to email me viruses everyday. i doubt it was someone from hiphopsite...

[access]

I don't want to promote negativity toward hiphopsite... As long as it's just one person expressing an opinion, all right, I'll leave it.

[the pm]

theres some defense so its all good

[deejaysteelo]

shit, i live in vegas, and am friends with all the guys who work there. it doesn't change the fact that they bootleg shit or have beef with sandbox.

after i dissed the slanguage album on the shapeshifters board, somebody gave me a virus. my comp was down for 2 weeks and it costs me $200. shit sucked.
