360HipHop.com Threatens a 187 On Competition
Reaching the bottom of the domain name barrel, Russell Simmons will launch "THE number one destination for hip-hop culture on the Internet" at 360HipHop.com. And we thought 5% nation street jargon went out with the 90's.

Simmons had to scrap rs1w.com because the "One World" brand is synonymous with failure. First, there was the ailed One World magazine that made Benetton "Colors" look like hard-hitting journalism. Then, there was the abysmal Russell Simmons One World TV show, which could have used a Dee Barnes punch in the face to make it more interesting. With a new moniker, Simmons is anxious to emerge triumphant the web. Hip-hop fans, however, are about as eager for the new 360hiphop.com site as they are for the next issue of Blaze magazine.

Simmons told The Industry Standard, "We're gonna murder everyone out there". Please! Stop the violence in new media. Maybe he meant murdering investor's portfolios? Noting a matured Internet landscape and the demise of many content plays; 360HipHop has already cut 75% of its expenses and brought in partners to defray costs. It's not like Russell doesn't have the dough to bankroll it by himself, but its only fun to lose money with friends. 360HipHop.com milked a few million from Will Smith and Tyra Banks.

Back on the Phat Farm, 360HipHop.com faces tough odds and even tougher competition. But Russell Simmons seems determined to create success. Perhaps his site will beat rivals with its unique features such as 'Keystylin' where users can trade rhymes in real-time. We thought that was called 'chat'. There will also be a 'Virtual Subway Car' filled with virtual advertisements. Does this mean that Doctor Zizmor might be a silent partner? At least Stan Lathan is involved; maybe we can see some of that cutting edge WB humor found on such shows he directed like "Cleghorne!" or Steve Harvey's hairpiece.

As a fired Oneworld staff, member thank you for this brillent piece. Of course I have not given my real name. My history w/ Russel goes way back. Yes I am one of those poor people that he stole ideas from and through away like trash after my idels of what oneworld ment to me since I am a bragga girl, meaning anything mix w/white. I also grew up in Queens and have stories told to me by my uncle who went to high school w/Russel .He was a little punk who sold coke, my uncle also states that he used to kick his little faggot ass. Sorry Kamora they say you are a lesbian gold digger anyway. Why do I dis trust Mr.Simmons because like Puffy, and Fubu, they have exploted black culture for their own benfits. The reason being so that white people will let them in. The other night Russel was on CNBC were he was put to the test about DMX and his music. Russsel did you come up w/all those response your self or did someone write it for you. I aslo do not understand all these hip-hop sites let Chuck D make some money, and how can anyone think they will beat the Source Magazine online. They speak to the entire world. So what they are white boy's they address hip-hop culture to the for front why didn't you think of a magazine back them Russell. A lot of my friends abroad always ask me to send them the source know they can get on line sorry all other hip hop .coms

Reply to Ms. Payless,
Do I detect a slight bit of hate going on?? Oh I'm sorry were you turned down for a job here, or perhaps, Russell and Stan ran a train on that ass back in the day and never called you again, is that it? Either way, it seems to me that YOU have a bone to pick. Why don't you vist us here at 360hiphop.com and tell us your issues face to face.
I personally would love that.
Ah, but of course you wouldn't do that, YOU are a coward who writes for a inferior dot com magazine, certainly the only place that would employ you. Whatever the case, tell me what is UrbanExpose stock worth anyway....oh yeah, one more thing, what kind of shoes are you wearing right now "girlfriend"?

So what is really the deal? Is it that, in the year 2000, we have nothing better to do than to discredit our own? Russell is a visionary and yes, human. He is not void of blemish but he still sparkles. Hell, Russell shines- and has far more success than failures.
360hiphop.com is another success. Is money on crack? Has this writer seen the blaze that 360 is offering? Of course, he hasn't. If so, he'd know that the "virtual train ride" is not a ride at all but a.... well you'll have to wait for the 20th to see for yourself.
360 is something that none of you have ever expected and will be to the internet as a movie is to that tired napkin you scribbled your notes on to write your piece. All I can say is that Russell and everyone over here wins. We win because we aren't flossing and wasting money on frivolous parties for haters like you to come & eat off Russell's dough and then talk behind his back. Those of you reading this, I challenge you to just log-on and then YOU can judge.

By the way Laila.... what shoes are you wearing...?

First of all sometimes when you have real work to do you can't always spell
check when you have to work. Anyway wait and watch the hammer fall on your
ass later. Anyway I know who you are and you were wake when you were at
UBO, and what do you really know about black people you ain't even black.
And personally I do know the girl that licked her puss did you or do you
just suck there dick because they pay you. Well let's see who is a hater
look at your letter I know Karma is a bitch and I have the right to my own
opinion that's what they want. If not the world would be filled with people
who want to run aroune the office and talk shit like a bitch I bet you
forwarded my email to your entire staff commenting" watch me dis that bitch
haha big man" Well email my reply and call me when you need a new job. In
the end let's see who's still collecting a check next year ever her of
type-o's. Most people w/a brain and some sense aren't the greatest
speller's keep protecting your boy Russel and see if he does the same for
you when you need him. I guess you suck dick well. There is away to
address people's responses. And you don't know how I guess that's why you
work for a hip-hop web site. You guys are still wack keep on sucking baby.
You feel bold because you can't confront me I wonder if you would be this
bold on person.
Peace & Blessings and MY Allah protecet you.

Anyway everyone took this a little to personal I though this was a place to state my thoughts now 360 Hip-Hop wants to start a brawl. Well I guess you guys are in the right place.

Just a reminder to all the big talkers on this site.

Fuck this, fuck that, cyberfag this, cyberfag that...the level of dialogue here reminds me of high school.

You people are supposed to be professional?

Hate kills...how profound.

For all any of you know, the persons (person?) posting these messages could be sitting next to you. Yet you flame each other and make dullard threats and statements of bravado like:

"I am pretty sure that if all of you met face to face after trading insults, yall wouldnt do shit. if yall want to get the shit smacked out of yall into reality, let me know."

Well, I'm very impressed. A diembodied voice from the nether-regions of cyberspace thinks he can kick my ass...Frank, don't be such a child.

Rhonda, you challenge an absolute stranger to face-to-face confrontation in a world where absolute stranger sometimes walk into corporate offices with automatic weapons and kill everyone in sight. Are you really that succeptible to blinding fury or are you just another mark waiting for Darwin's game to take you down? Either way, I can't believe anyone would invest real responsibility in someone with such an obvious lack of foresight and perspective. Do you realize that the homphobia you illicit is a reflection on your company? Do you care?

It's this level of BS and shit-talking that characterizes black people as unfocused, unprofessional and incapable of acheivement. If you have real issues, this place seems like it should serve as a forum for the discussion of these issues, not as a virtual playground for adults to play the dozens.

Be professional.

first off my name is Fsharp and i have been in this hip hop game since i was 15 year's old. i'm 28 now and i learned that it doesn't matter what people do to u or how they threat u!!! U still have to go on and make it happen!!!!!

I just lost 3 good Friend's Two were shot and one drowned, and what we as people BLACK or WHITE have to understand is that we need to stop putting each other down even if u feel that a person or Company took an idea from u than maybe u should come up with bigger and better ideas, than u need to move on and build your own Company!!!! Big up the other person and don't fight over it. all U are doing is wasting energy when u could be spending it doing better shit!!!!!

I Worked at a Company that people would cut thier right hand off for (ROC-A-FELLA RECORD's) I spent 3 year's of my life working Hard and i fought hard!!!! for this Company my life was all about the ROC no one could say or do anything to my ROC Fam so even if though i was fired i don't want to go around and saying fuck up shit, yeah it hurt's but I still have alot of Love for those guy's!!! and i look at like if they didn't put me on i might be working at a shoe shop....hahahah Life goes on....maybe u should try to look on the bright side, shit happens and it's up to u to make your shit right!!!!!!!!! "words to live by! forget what people say or do to U" Just "DO YOU"!!!!!!!!!!! Russell if you read this I salulet you with all that you do!!!! yourself and Mr. Quincy Jones will make me work very hard to get to where you two are!!!

An idea isnt yours until you execute it.

Complain, and be bitter all you like.......shit, raise money for a anti-Russell Simmons Campaign , but in the end you'd be better off takin' that energy and creating somthing larger...

Anyone that has a great idea that may have been "stolen" obviously has the potential to create better one...so stop cryin, and go create.

None of these comments mean anything. ultimately they are only collections of varying arrays of 1s and 0s.

I wasn't offended, I just felt as if voices were being misrepresented as lacking in perspective and sophistication.

Obviously, you are capable of a discerning perspective or otherwise you would not have formulated this explanation.

As it is, I am holding it down. thank you for the vote of support. Good luck to you as well...and don't let the dregs drag you down with them.

I give 360 props for getting their content together so quickly, their editorial "dream team" and Big Russ behind them, BUT (and a BIG BUT) can they make content for the web?

In a world where the majority of net users surf high-bandwith at work, what about those low-bandwith users?

And where is their community? I watched as 88Hip-Hop took a long and tedious route in building a loyal community...and that was when they had NO comp!

I don't even want to comment on eCommerce.

Cool concept, cool graphics but content isn't that engaging, and I can see how a user would get bored quick with the same flashy interface, animation and games (i.e. Hookt.com) if they don't update the content quick enough.

Nuff Said

Jabbar Adams Clout: 4

I thought I'd drop my 2 cents, since that's what it seems this is for.

I'm very anxious to see if 360 can live up to all the hype. Russell is the master of hype, but it works very differently in the Internet game. I think it is safe to say he has his work cut out for him. Having the hottest looking site will get him the first look, but if they can't back it up with consistent entertaining content, forget it. And overdoing the Flash/high-tech components of the site will only hurt them. Look at Boo.com and Hookt.com.

Hookt.com has done a great job of showing the industry what NOT to do. As has UBO. Let's hope 360 does a little better, for the sake of "urban." I was at a launch party of a new "urban" site, www.onelevel.com, and have checked it out since. This site is simple, but has fun content. I don't know if they're going anywhere, but I know what they got now is from barely any cash. Let's hope this represents for "urban" a little better.

Don't take my comments about Hookt and UBO as hating, I'm just trying to provide constructive criticism. The business judgements these companies have shown is absurd. I recently visited the UBO offices...what the hell do they have all those people for? The way I figure, they could get by on a third of their current staff.

Either way, someone is going to win, let's hope its the best representation for urban or hip hop or whatever the hell the current buzzword is.

Peace. Jabbar

Yo, this is Ronin Ro. My fucking name keeps popping up in reference to this site and I wanna know what the fucking deal is: I worked for UBO, had a good experience then left;Isigned on at 360, did my best and encountered a beef-smoking pothead who got me laid off for no reason. Since then, I went over to MTV for a few weeks. I haven't been dissing anyone, and don't intend to (with the exception of that one dicksucking faggit at 360). Why is my name popping up in connection with this site? or any disses against websites? If people bite my style, that's natural-- it's been happening for nine years now. Don't assume it's me. I'm away from the Internet field and happy to be away from it. I wish everyone well and hope everyone can win.
Thanks for the attention (especially the guy who signed his posting 'Robert Zimmerman').

It's Ro. Again: I have nothing to do with this site, and actually think it's kind'a cool. This has actually been needed since the advent of the Urban Web Site arena. There have been too many shit-talking poseurs out there popping that 'our company will take you out' shit, and the reality is: most of you motherfuckers writing or talking this shit arehack writers who joined thesecompanies to increase your personal wealth. The reality is: you fucking bums used toread what Iwrote, and pattern your own shit after it. So thanks in advance for taking your version of my style onto the Web.

One final message:
My previous missives were jokes. I hope this is understood. I typed them into this little 'Post A Message' box to see if a message as bug-eyed and unspeakable as mine would actually be posted, and to my horror, it was. In reality: I have nothing against people whose writing styles evoke mine. I actually think it's beautiful.
Now about me being behind this site again: I only became aware of this site this evening because I received a Soulpurpose newsletter and saw my name topped a poll about who was behind the site; then I come here and see my name listed ("Thank you Ronin Ro" or whatever was written above). Come on now: I have no time for beefs with anyone (even with the kid from 360 I dissed half-heartedly in my first posting). I wish everyone the best and hope God will judge each and every one of them according to their works.
It's funny that I'd be blamed because
I read this article (to the left) and see that whoever authored it did a pretty good job of mimicking the Have Gun Will Travel style-- but the word 'ailed' strikes me as being used of context. Moreover, I have nothing but respect for Mr. Simmons. If I were to seriously attack anyone, it would probably be certain people at MTV.Com. And I wouldn't even know what the WB's Cleghorne is. Ask me about Chow Yun-fat's HK work and we'll talk. For what it's worth: this could be a great forum for news if people would attach honest bylines to their work. It's also great for writing whatever comes to mind and seeing it posted immediately. Communication. Anyway, everyone buy Street Sweeper and look out for the next joint.

Hey, dude, this site is like so cool. It allows everyone to hear about the really great things we are doing over at our site.

So anyone who thinks our dream team won't be number one is sadly mistaken. You all are jealous because my boss Russell appeals to white people and your sites don't.

I don't want anyone hating on my company because we are going to be the biggest thing since MTV! Our site is so hot, it's blazing! It's funky fresh! It's gonna really appeal to all those kids who like the Dirty South style of music, which is the biggest style of music right now. We have great cartoons, and a bulletin board and also sell you some great stuff like Phat Farm clothing which you all cannot live without. We are the cream of the crop and know that our proven magazine stuff will really be banging with the white audience in smaller towns. So there, Laila with the cheap shoes. Take that, girlfriend.Maybe I'll take you shopping in the West Village if you stop by the office--

This site is a bloodletting fest...I love it. This site demonstrates what means more than celebrities, Flash and last ditch e-commerce efforts on the web, COMMUNITY.

Albeit a frustrated and insecure community, but a community none the least.

The rest of you apes are too wrapped up in your SkyTel 2-Ways and Lil Nokia Phones to see that this site represents model that works.

Instead of bickering at one another and wondering who's at Moomba tonight you need to be surfing the web and researching tools that will work. Get somebody in you office that worked for a Netscape, Gartner or Sun, instead &#8220;my man&#8217;s and them from Bad Boy&#8221;.

Then have James Andrews (aka Andy Platnum accusepeople like Kevin Powell, Knox Robinson and Ronin Ro)of being behind the site. Keep upthe great work UBO.

I agree with Kris. I think UBO is behind this site. They tried to make a lot of promises and suckered investors into giving money but have delivered nothing more than their shitty Latin site and the garbage Indieplanet. For UBO to stoop to this level only shows how pathetic they are. Especially with their Soulpurpose newsletter accusing people they know have nothing to do with this site (since it's their very own pathetic little site).But we all know UBO is garbage and that James Andrews does nothing but e-mail gossip in his newsletter behind a fey little pseudonym, so whatever.

Congratulations on being the biggest asshole on the face of the planet.

Insulting companies and staff is one thing, insulting the memory of those that have passed away is some other shit.
You are nothing more than a little man who feels the only way to be on top of the world is by bringing others down. Too bad it only makes you like a little piece of shit.

Hopefully you don't really work for 360 and Russell, because you are the worst representation a society and company can have. And if you're just trying to get a rise out of others, this is a rude and small way to go about it.
Have some respect or shut the fuck up.

this site is dope because
a) you try to post under your own name and it attributes yo shit to someone else

b) it brings back talking shit, that hallmark of black american culture that almost got steamrolled out of our media by jiveass publications serving as marketing arms for fashion and music companies

c) it's not a forum for rodney king type proselytising and it makes anyone who tries to bring out their $1.50/word mass marketable opinions look like an ass

d) it's generating the best content and community without a white guy from sonic net mandating "the right way" to do so

e) it doesn't rely on a charasmatic nigga figure to attract investors and media coverage

f) it's more fun than spending $9.50 only to get shafted. anyone else pissed?

the sad thing is, it's probably a clever marketing tool for one of the sites ostensibly getting slammed. the question is, which one? it's too funny to have all white folks behind it, but -- sorry to say -- the writing's too good to have the average collection of black writers lacing this shit.

This couldn't be the work of UBO. We're giving them too much credit.

Lemme describe a basic UBO day and you'll understand why this site ain't by them:

Chickens gather around the metal table and keep Spice in business.

Non-urban people have meetings at the same lunch table.

Fire someone from the ever-shrinking staff of IndiePlanet.
(any day Che)

Watch the all-important James Andrew, stroll around the offices, looking at all the fine asses UBO has to offer - the power of an EVP.
(when does he have time to poke up that Spanish chick?)

The separate properties are not too much fun to observe. They don't do much but gather in the hall and buy cheap Japanese food.

There are a handful of people there you just wonder "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO?" They know who they are. My favorite is the old man. He's just looking for something to poke when he's not going to the bathroom. (When you gonna edit something?)

So it can't be UBO doing this site. It's fun, it "works" and it gets a lot of traffic.

9AM: Awake at desk; check financial wire from Tokyo, rub cocaine on tear ducts.
10:15AM: Copy editing; Chivas snow cone, blow job.
11AM: Berate editorial staff for constant state of ennui and resistance to proper restroom etiquette. Put the kibosh on investigative story of Lil' Kim's penchant for GBH suppositories and alleged sex change.
Noon: Lunch of pulled pork sandwiches (3) washed down with a 40 of menthol-flavored St. Ides.
1PM: Marketing meeting -- no, Giuliani is always spelled "that way."
2:30PM: Objectify the female form, make photocopies of stock option certificates.
3PM: Flyer conference room, Andre Harrell's office with phony stock certificates.
7PM: Re-interview Eminem; placate Kris Ex with Scooby Snax.
4:45PM: Deny stock option flyering when confronted by Russell: "It was that bitch Rhonda."
5PM: Give HTML lesson to senior management; explain how to "right-click."
5:45PM: Demerol smoothie. Research recent shortening of hemlines; headlines.
7PM: Pot delivery. Send Lyor for Dutch Masters.
8PM: Re-integrate lateral ecommerce solutions for strategic technology loopholes, extinguish blunt.
9:50PM: Kickin' jam at the spot with fly coochie and nobody from other urban websites to cock block. Get snack on, drink on. Relish in own supernatural glow; refuse to tip bathroom attendant on sheer principle.

Repeat as necessary.

Hey Kris, It shows your lack of compassion and intelligence that you would even PLAY your self by making rude and offensive comments on the late George Jackson.

George was a human being, like you or I. George&#8217;s accomplishments in death will out number yours in life.

I can&#8217;t believe you'd stoop to that level, how sick. I know interns with more professionalism.

I don't mind all of this stupid chatter about who's doing what and who sucks, but have SOME respect.

I think the webmasters should erase all of the negative comments and start over. This isn't what this site was meant to be about. It's become a way for people to call each other names. It all started with Laila Galoul calling people names because she was fired. That made other people insult each other, and it is sad because Rhonda froim 360 made comments that were in poor taste and then Dream Hampton got into it as Scared Rabbit (unless S.R. is a default name for the computer at Urban Box Office). Now everyone is fighting when we should be uniting. Let's make peace. What does everyone think?

Ok, allow someone who knows the web business from way back to educate some of you. Although it sucks, and the staff is full of people that could never get hired elsewhere (a la nitro, dream hampton, etc.) UBO will win because it's owned by white men. If you don't know this, do your research. Why is their race important? As The Source proved, any white man can enter the black man's game and beat him because black people hate on black peole more than anyone else.

Russell will Sell 360hiphop to some white company like he did defjam, because he's only a hustler and you shouldn't expect more from him. Selwyn will eventually be fired or quit because, although he's a nice guy, he just doesn't have any backbone, and Russell runs right over people like that. Kris Ex is not even talented enough or experienced enough to be relevant. Sheena will do what she has to do to feed her kids.

Hookt will fail, or be acquired. Bet.com (as much as you may hate it) isn't going anywhere. The owner has the blessing of the white man (exp. the head of Bet was recently given, at cheap price, an entire airline.) That's their boy (as in stepandfetchit).

Volume is a Time Warner property, so it will most likely be dissolved at some point. Time Warner has never committed any serious resources to the black market. They won't start now just because the Hot Boys' hoopin' and hollerin' is selling millions.

TheSource.com will be folded into a major media entity like TimeWarner or Fox because dave mays has never believed in the internet and wants someone else to pay for his entry. Therefore, The Source will probably secure the number one or two spot. Also, the company is now wholely owned by a white jewish man. They will not let him fail.

Aka.com is a hustle, so it will fold quietly, or be folded into another company. Sony has not shown a serious committment to the project.

platform.net will be acquired. soon.

y2g.com. Well, since Fubu is actually owned by a consortium of korean and jewish business men, expect y2g to be around for a while in one form or another. Most likely as a pure ecommerce play designed to exploit the Fubu brand.

john shector & stretch armstrong's rapnetwork.com is too little too late. But, because they are both young white jewish guys, don't bet completely against them. Some old jewish money might decide to make their project legit.

Bottom line? This entire discusssion on this site is largely irrelevant, because in the end, the white man will own the leading online black portal. So stop pretending as if you didn't already know this.

I disagree with "experienced industry professional" about BET.com NOT going anywhere.
Although I don't think it will totally disappear, it definitely WON'T make a significant impact despite the clout it (once) displayed. Now that Bob ain't rolling with Bill Gates (MSFT) anymore, he doesn't have the ONLINE credibility needed to acquire new partnerships, nor does he have the compelling content to keep an ONLINE audience (Blackplanet.com is locking up this spot quickly)

Look for BET.com to admit defeat, and merge with Blackplanet.com so that we could NAME OUR OWN PRICE on flights to DC right from the CHATROOM.

Listen: The entire Internet game is a fucking hustle, you dolts. Look at the business models of some (highly successful) Internet companies -- forward-looking hokum seen through the myopic eyes of the get-richer-quick. And as for the dead, well -- hey, it's a tax write-off.

With that in mind, some of you might want to be a little smarter when it comes to anonymously threatening people -- your identities are not that veiled, your writing ain't that dope, your comments range from patently paranoid to irretreivably moronic, and when this sun-baked technological turd starts to whiten and crunch you might soon find yourself working for those you're dissing.

That is of course unless you're too proud and principled to take a gig working for someone you profess to hate. But I doubt that: You're all a bunch of whores. In fact, we're all a bunch of whores -- we just have different pimps.

But pimps have of late taken to a nasty habit of merging...

I find myself agreeing with what "Dr. Naughty" wrote. We must stop the bashing and hating and get it together. Before these online jobs came along, everyone was working together and hanging out and calling each other and being friends. Now everyone's acting like they're on different football teams and trying to reach the Super Bowl. Let's do as "D.N." suggested and think about a time when this online stuff no longer flies. When we will all have to live together again. Let's be at peace and stop the hating. Let's be responsible and stop with the insults and let's stand united and remember why we are all in this business-- to bring people information, not to jockey for position or compare salaries.

First of all, as and "end user" lookin at this is what i see..Laila - you sound like a disgruntled employee ready to go postal..instead of venting on websites, why don't you try therapy??? Starting all this trash talks just show in itself why you are no longer an employee for One World or any other Russell Simmons venture. What the F_ does RS selling coke have anything to do with anything??? And the fact that your uncle used to kick his ass.(and your uncle is who now?) It's SOO obvious your little feelings have been hurt over there, trying to "low blow" folks on some meaningless shit..disrepespecting family -dissen Kamora - you sound like a jealous trick seeking revenge (and YOU KNOW the girl who licked her ___ how??!!!- that's nothing to be braggin about) Check yourself. Mad cause you were just a 10 at 2 and a 2 at 10 just gettin ran up in..You and your uncle know you were trying to use Russells name to create your own fame - i can see it now, just hyped at the fact someone in your fam knew Russell before he became "Russell Simmons" - you remind me of the woman accusing Tyson of Rape - same personality type! HATER! Trying to come up Just cuz you didn't get your way (personally - i would've fired your ass as a writer a long time ago with those typos - it's just one click of a button sweetheart..one click.)Being a person who has belief in faith..how can you write what you wrote about different types of "tricks"( suckin dick??So many references made to that - you're obviously the pro). you pulled, and then want to write "God Bless" - pure IGNORANCE - walk the walk - don't talk the talk. That's one name not to play with.-shoot, may ALLAH protect you and give YOU Some guidance.(and I wouldn't worry too much about folks NEEDIN you for a J.O.B - who'd want to work for someone who had the brains to hire your illiterate self)
Glad to see you took a little more time in writing your last response so i could understand it.

I'm sure there are other ways of getting points across instead bashing someone, but instinct is ALWAYS to protect what is yours.
And all the folks workin at 360 putting in crazy hours have every right to be upset when someone with OBVIOUSLY no knowledge wants to discredit them and what they work for. IT's Homegirl Laila that needs to be professional - Slamming a corporation she used to work on a public website is not the way to go.(she needs to take Ohsokools advice - cause that's real)

And about exploiting black culture for their own benefit - Do you realize how many millionaires Russell Simmons has made due to Def Comedy Jam??? How we can so easily point out failures in OneWorld - but that was a nationwide success. He exploited folks alright - and got them all PAID too. ALL of you hatin on Russell, would their be an industry to speak on without him??? Would Black comedians be as prevalent in todays entertainment without him??? Think before you hate.


TO the "Puti sounding Cat" trying to front like he's EX - do you need some work to do???? Jabbar: you owe my man Ex and apology.Beef - what's your real name??? - oops glad you didn't put it cause you're lookin as silly as Jabbar! You obviously have NO knowledge of or about EX or else you wouldn't have believed what was written the first coupla times- you read the real EX comment??? - (just anotha mutha*#&$&@ on the 360 jock strap mad cuz your resume was thrown in the circular file cabinet)

Oh and Scared Ass - YO - since you're such the genious on who's who of the internet startups success vs. failures and buyouts - shouldn't you be some type of investment banker or Venture Capitalist?? Let's see how good you really are in decifering companies, i welcome you to take a stab at the home of startups - Silicon Valley - we could use Psychics like yourself, or are you just a Natural Born Hater?

But one thing we all know to remember is, you're not TRULY successful, til you have a harem of haters..ie this whole scenario.

To be quite honest - In Cali - we don't know about UBO and whatever else other hiphop sites peeps are saying are the bomb, will or will not succeed.. But we do know Russell Simmons, what he stands for and what he's accomplished, and be sure 360hiphop will hit coast to coast - on GP alone..no doubt will it succeed. They have what it takes - and for the record, who you know is bigger than what you know..(None of these other sites have made an attempt to reach the West Coast - that might be a HUGE reason of "failure" - by your definition.)

Other hiphop cultured start ups, and to this author that wrote this hatin ass article, where would you be if there were NO RUSSELL SIMMONS?? Why weren't any of his positive attributes mentioned ie Rap the Vote??? Are you Puti Author on Guiliani's team???

And Scared Ass whatever...
you're last comment is SOO ignorant - "whatcha back" - contridictory to everything you wrote about . TRYING to sound positive in this whole sound off and you end with THAT??

Nothing wrong with some healthy arch rivalry - but it would be nice to someday stop all the jealousy and haterism - and realize we're all on the same team..SO quick to talk about the white man hatin and controlloing - but we don't look any better when hatin on our own...
Try giving the next brotha or sista their props instead of trying to find some fault to point out..and if you are ever in a circumstance that didn't work out FOR WHATEVER REASON (laila) just walk away - because if it was TRULY Russells loss to have you off his staff - that says enough. Success is always the ultimate Revenge!

Peace from Cali.

This site couldn't have been started by UBO, since they would still be meeting around the metal table for the 50th time with different marketing and property managers about launching of this site. It couldn't be 360 since they got a launch on their hands. Although Hookt supposedly got millions in VC, there's a word that they have been evicted. It's gotta be a freelancer. I wouldn't even consider teen chat sites like BlackPlanet.

I feel bad for 360. I wanted to believe that none of the urban sites would stoop so low as to be responsible for a reprehensible site. I wanted to say it was white people, the man or the Klan, but it is becoming apparent that 360 it the Wizard behind the curtain. This site mysteriously surfacing 5 days before 360's launch? Russell's story being on the top of the page? The very first comment conveniently being one that would incite a riot? And Conveniently being against Russell/360? Shame on you 360hiphop. This site represents all that is wrong in our culture and our communities. This site has gone far past the harmless wordz and battle stage, it is an embarrassment to me and my brothers and sisters. I was really on your team 360. I really believed in you guys. I have never, been so disappointed in anyone.

I personally think Puff daddy is behind this site.
he likes drama and I can hear him right now in the background with his shiney suit, and shiney shoes saying 'yeah yeah', plus remember, he told us for years that he wouldnt stop.
Actually, Suge might have masterminded this whole thing from the cell he shares with Bubba.
I dont like Suge Knight, he is a bad bad man.

Hey FSHARP!

I don't know why no one responded to you, maybe your message was too real.

What you said was the realest shit posted on this board. I salute YOU.

Layoffs and cutbacks happen everyday. This is just hip hop's first taste of real CORPORATE here today,gone tomorrow, big paycheck CULTURE. Capitalism and hip-hop are one now.

In the 90's it was the record label
In Y2K, it's the dot.com
The angry staff is like battling street teams

But urbanfolk, please keep in mind:
NO JOB LASTS FOREVER especially in today's economy.

If you need proof check out www.fuckedcompany.com, its a daily listing of dot com casualties and impending dot.com doom.

This shit is happening everywhere.

Let's not burn too many bridges, we all could be checking the "help wanteds" and filling out job applications next week

WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, I know this is not the same Andy Platinum that ripped this very site in Soul Purpose's sorry ass newletter yestersay is it?

First off, I thought your little attempt to rip the very site your posting on every board, in fact, was childish and shows the total wackness of the site you run over at that trainwreck you call UBO. Secondly, arent you guilty of the same hating that you accuse this site of doing, by attacking something fresh, fun, and more innovative than any thing you and your hacks have come up with in ages?

The biggest joke, is when you said that these people were wasting investors money. Let me ask you this, how much of that $50 million has UBO's wasted? like $49 million on bullshit like LUKEWORLD and Heather Hunter.com? And why is it that UBO needs so many employees to produce that garbage? When since reports on Marie Claire and Prada considered responsible reporting on urban news? Really dude, you need to get a grip and worry about what your doing, and not how everyone else is outshining you, because that's a given.

To the folks here at Urban Expose, keep giving us the news this industry needs. I think it's fun, and flashy, and cats are open. Real open, not only in the urban space. Don't worry about Andy Platinum, he and the broke ass detectives he hired can't find there way out of a paper bag, or their new jobs when that piece of crap UBO fails.

To the people @ 360 hip-hop stop stalking people. Not only have they hacked into peoples email. They send out treating emails to your accounts this is an offense. Just because some one challenged you guys. Star & Buck Wild agree you guys are wack and some of you maybe going to jail.

Peace

This is in response to Rhonda Cowan's messages. I can't even believe you are an executive at a fledgling internet company. Mad unprofessional homegirl. What kind of shoes are you wearing right now "girlfriend"? That's real highshool of you. And I hate to say it but just like all uncle tom's, you come to russell and stan's defense like a good little massa girl. I don't know her or you but all I can say is that for you to have all that time on your hands you could only be working in the hip hop industry. I hope that's not how the whole company is run. P.S. Don't brag about it, you should've had shame/'professionality' enough to have kept your real name a secret.

If everyone takes this so seriously maybe there is some truth to it all. People get a life and stop treating people. We all have to eat.

I don't know why you are hiding behind a false name, but when I was working at UBO, you sent to me a whacked-out message in regards to my FRIENDS at the Lyricist Lounge whom I have known and loved for years. I discussed your e-mail with them, and they advised me to ignore you, which I did at that time. Now, I see you posting unkind messages on this site. If you were or are seeking any truthful form of communication, why not reveal your real name so that a honest exchange of communication can exist?

Peaceful Journey,

my opinion  

To all people with nothing better to do then to hate on others:
First of all who cares who laila is unless you can't go on with your life until you find out? Don't most writers have an A.K.A? If you find out her real name then what...you attack her with your words or try to black list her? Is that really worth your time and energy? If it is then damn...I'm really glad I don't know you because that's a pretty bitter thing to do. 360 DEGREES....WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND......If someone wants to hate then let them...what are you God....Hell No! Everyone suffers their own consequences. I commend all the intelligent responses from professional people out there. Just as another said: "Haven't we all grown up and left highschool?" I guess not because I haven't heard bullshit like this since highschool or since really uneducated people started getting hired by dotcoms across the board. We are all human beings and instead of finding faults in others lets try to correct the faults in OURSELVES first. That's the problem in this world, is that everyone thinks THEY and only they are God's gift to this earth. Can we wake the fuck up people and address the real issues.
As far as this Rhonda girl goes...cause she is definitely not acting like a woman from her above comments...WHO CARES WHAT SHOES ANYONE HAS ON? There are people who can't even afford a damn meal in this world and you're worried about someones labels. Please get over that woman on a pedestal bullshit......your comments have no validity. To tell you the truth I'm disgusted that you would even put yourself out there like that, but everyone needs to toot their own horn, right!
Good luck to all out there....
Peace and Blessings to all...God sees and knows all.

To "Jihad"

Of course, I am not God I am only me. My writing had and has nothing to do with "hate" - and please don't personalize it, as my message was not addressed to you. What I attempted to express was my confusion that someone who I don't seem to know, would send me a mean-spirited message containing projected thoughts and ideas..about me. In fact, you have done much the same in your message or "reply" because you stated that you thought I would "attack" or "blacklist" - I have no such intentions and never did. I don't even have a "list" and if I did I wouldn't call it a "blacklist" because I think it is a derogatory term. My reply is my own...and my name is Emma.

Thank you for your thoughts, regardless. I made a choice to reveal my identity, however, I do respect the rights of others to use a "pen" name. However, when it comes to personal statements to me, that are untrue, I would prefer to know the identity...yet, of course...life goes on. God Willing, Live, Learn, & Love.
