Phew! I can't believe it's been two years since I launched The Rap Up. What started as one man's rant-land has now turned into a hip-hop hive.

I remember back when I would spend hours updating the blog only to end the day with a total of, say, 50 unique visitors. 850,000 visits and 1.6 million pageviews later, I can't thank those 50 readers enough.

Shout out to everyone who has ever stopped by or bookmarked T.R.U. Whether you found us through a friend's blogroll or via a Google search for 'Stacy Dash Playboy pics', your visit is appreciated. I'm also enormously grateful to all the bloggers who inspired me to add my voice to the discussion back when hip-hop blogging was the new new--O-Dub, Hashim, Clyde, Ian, Jay Smooth, etc--and all the ones who still inspire me to step my game up everyday (read: almost everyone on my blogroll).

Now, tell me, how did you first find out about The Rap Up?
