www.dubcnn.com - its bigger, its better and...its back
Panic Over? The panic has not yet begun. Now we have your full attention dubcnn.com wishes to open your eyes to a new era, a different league - a whole new level of Westcoast Hip-Hop promotion.
Firstly let me address the "RIAA takeover," to our loyal and steadfast following we apologise wholeheartedly for the period of doubt, uncertainty and questioning. As you will now be aware it was false, a media blackout and a hype and buzz cloak to enable us to implement what now stands before you...the new dubcnn.com. For those that talked derogatorily about us during the process let me make it very clear; we saw, we noted and we inevitably ignored. Dubcnn is and always has been a reliable, quoted source of music news and a reputable, respected Media Outlet, the music we provide to our readership comes from its source - the artists, producers and labels. Remember, before its on MTV, its on dubcnn.
Inevitably we will attract the proverbial haters, but first and foremost dubcnn has a mission; and we will continue to strive towards the goals we set at the beginning and we welcome on board all artists, labels, companies and of course fans that wish to contribute in a positive way.
In September 2002 we launched with little content and a simplistic design yet with bucket-loads of intent, passion and a dedicated forum of fans of the genre waiting for an outlet to provide reliable news and information. Since then we have achieved many of the goals we outlined at the start however others we still must move forwards to meet. Today marks the fruition of much hard work and planning. We have an incredible new design which allows us to offer more content in a clearer layout, thus improving the visitor experience.
As part of this evolution we here at dubcnn.com are proud to announce a merger which will see the foundations of internet based journalism shook to the core. Many of you will be firmly familiar with the name Lil Jay and an organisation known as Westcoast2K. For those of you that are not, Westcoast2K has been around since 1999 working on promoting Westcoast hip-hop to the then limited internet audience, it was one of the first professional trendsetting websites of the genre and influenced many that have come since its inception; to say today is groundbreaking is an understatement. Yes the hype is real, the merger fact; Dubcnn & Westcoast2K are now officially one and the same, the two largest and most popular news outlets have merged to form a media network which will further establish itself a the premier source of news, audio, interviews, editorials and reviews for the Westcoast Hip-Hop scene.
We wish to welcome Lil Jay to dubcnn.com and look forward to 2006, a year in which we will move the boundaries and raise the bar at which internet based journalism is set, in pursuit of creating the complete online magazine experience.
Normal news and media services will resume later today.
enjoy.

damn y´all had me a lil worried coz i´ve been a pretty big contributor to the spot :P shit looks dope, now the only thing dubcnn.com needs to step it up on is the reviews 8)
-
hey on new site there is a video section but nobody works... :-\

Look forward to 2006, and hopefully attending some events in the UK.
-
^ if see the last part of the update our media section is down and will be back soon..
1) the forum,
2) dubcnn main news page
3) dubcnn media (dubcnm)
are all hosted on different servers to slow the effect of outages
-
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
-
When the shop is up, will the albums/tapes be shipped from the UK? or from US?
-
well, all I have to say is that I hope Lil Jay has an opportunity to make some cash off of his new position, because out of all the online westcoast 'journalists' to cop Rud's word, he's worked the hardest and been the greatest for years in my opinion.
Not slamming Rud or anything, I just mean I hope there's some deals going on for advertising or stores or some shit.
-
Damn this design is dope :o. Dubcnn is in constant improvement. Props goes to the staff. Like Pissin on the throne said the reviews are the only weakness
-
Looks real nice, props.
-

yeah thanks for that. wc2k wont be remembered with a blank RIP page on there. it will still be up and active one way or another, just not the way it was before. maybe with some goodies here and there. but as far as the new site, everything will be on dubcnn from now on, and it will come from everybody so everybody gets a piece of the pie, no doubt. plus doing wc2k was hella time consuming, so sooner or later it had to come to an end doing a website magazine all by myself
-

from the US. its tied in with siccness, they're the most reliable around and got the biggest selection online as far as west coast rap

1 question : what happened to the album of the year and all that?
-
Yo... This is some amazingly great news!? Good looking lads! 8)
-
It's over! The haters were so happy that they didn't have competition that was going to crush them everyday. Trying to slander our name with their little stories... haha. Weenies! We're still here...
-
cool
before I even registered here, westcoast2k and dubcnn were the only places I'd go for news.... makes sense to link together ;D
-
This is great news to start the new year with :) I'm glad to see the two of you merged.
Btw, I've just checked the Media section real quick and some things aren't working: some picture galleries don't work (you can't enlarge certain pics) and the videos don't work either...thought I'd let you know).
-
Great news, i like the layout a lot
-
Well I'd just like to say that i've been posting on this forum since 2002, and lurking before that. Outside of dubcc.com/dubcnn.com, Westcoast2k was always another site i checked for news/audio/interviews. Al of you guys do an EXCELLENT job in my opinion. This is without a doubt THE SOURCE for all hip-hop related information. With the addition of Lil Jay, i know you will continue to make it better. Congrats on the merger, and keep bringing the pain!
-
Thanks for all the feedback ya'll!
-
