In the recent issue of XXL magazine, XXL lists their Top 100 Hip-Hop Web Sites. For once, we made the list! But it is a Top 100 list… who DIDN’T make the list? I ain’t mad, this is a great look. XXL learned from Vibe’s mistake and decided to NOT rank their list. What’s the point of a list again? Sorry… again, not mad. Thanks XXL!
Hit the jump for the full list…
Edit: This list supposedly had been leaked by some dude name Animal. If so, props to him. More importantly, XXL is commenting on each one of the sites on their list here. Thanks for the heads up Ivan!
This is what XXL has to say about KevinNottingham.com:
Underground rap shit.
Wow, is that what we are? I’d love to hear comments about that!

Congrats!
girlstarhiphop.com? Kev, you don’t like WSHH?
whooooooooooooooooo
congrats on making it!
accesshiphop.com? ughh.com? to small i guess
Congrats Kev. They got smokingsection incorrect as its smokingsection.net I believe.
Ughh.com is a music store and not so much a blob/site correct?
congratz kev!
but they got some sites that arent even hip hop music sites on their, they also got themselves and mtv. doesnt seem like they put too much effort into this
Congrats Kev! *Pops Champagne* lmao
Congrats man!
Kev, Kev, KEV!!!!! Big ups to ALL u guys for the nod in the mag… Real recognize real… Hopefully u guy get more notoriety… For real, you deserve it….
320
Congrats..Homie !!! Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!
Congrats big dog. You deserve it homie.
Is that Cee from “down under’..if so homie your latest project is on point…Keep up the good work !!! One !!!
you already know what it is man!!!
Amazing how Kevin uses the same image as us, copy and pastes the lists, I email him, and still no credit. “Original content”? HA!
congrats on making the list……i see they bottled out of actually naming the top sites (1-100) probably afraid of upsetting someone which means no more promos/interviews/exclusives.
politics as usual (jay-z)
wow, I see someone is upset that their site didn’t make the list. For the record, I have never heard of animalnewyork.com until this morning. dude is blowing up my email asking for credit for a list that published in a magazine…. times are tough I guess!
We’re not even a Hip Hop site you muppet. Just sayin’ we leaked the list so of course we should get credit even if dumb XXL made it. Shit ain’t complicated or dramatic, unless you make it so.
Where’s the love can’t we all jus’ get along…I thought all the blogs were in this for the same reason to support each other, I guess not….so phuck it !!!!
whooooooooooooooooooo
oh, I get it. Kev, he just wants credit for his site for leaking the list and doing all the writing of the sites and shit
true. “credit is due” (c) Gangstarr.
play nice fellas. it’s all love
Bout time…
Peace!
where is ughh.com???
“We major? Yeah homie we major.”
I’ve liked the site ever since i first visited it – its daily fresh, very funny content from the editors, and very,very unbiased reviews are what keep me coming back.
Brilliant website.
Underground rap shit.
http://www.thehoodinternet.com
Nice.
Ok, so I’ll be the ass and say it – phuck them Kevin!!! Underground rap shit…that’s some ole bullshyt for real. You nor anyone who supports this site should be happy or appreciative of making their list if it minimizes or marginalizes Hip-Hop &/or this site. That’s that plantation mentality of the slaves accepting Massa’s scraps, talking about “Eyzes so happies to beez hur!!!”
Phuck them & their wack ass magazine – what has XXL done to compare to what has jumped off this site. “Underground rap shit” – they need to do their homework and become one with the product that they are supposed to be writing about. That shit was insulting and indicative of their inability to be qualified for anything more than cheap paper to wipe my ass! More importantly, what has XXL given to you or Hip-Hop that surpasses this site.
If you can’t name it – then get out of that slave mentality and join me in giving them muthafuckas the middle finger…remember XXL the next time you download something from here, or read an incredible article.
major Props on this one yall.. its well deserved… n there will be many more to come… NOTTINGHAMERS STAND UP!!!!
Good read, i wonder how this years list will end up. Alot of nice sites popped up that are moving in the game.
