I thought this was just a beginning of year thing and traffic will pick up.
I say bring back Mad, Brick, Cash. On the positive, there have been some seriously interesting hop related posts by Gemini mostly this year. I'm not saying that because of how higlhy I rate him as a producer and MC tho.
On the real, this is just a phase. AG will rise again. New users will emerge. But they have been updating the site for ages now. Even for African time, this is stretching it!
