Fader once again rehashing info from Gov't Names without giving credit. But they did scoop me on the news that Bossman has signed with So So Def/Virgin(!), which is confirmed by Mid Atlantic Hip Hop Dot Com.

there were a few things in the Baltimore article in the April issue that I thought were pretty clearly cribbed from or inspired by specific GN posts. but a lot of independent research clearly went into it too, and I wouldn't really expect a namecheck in that context anyway, so I didn't mind that so much. but a blog post that rephrases someone else's blog post from 2 days earlier without linking or acknowledging is kinda poor form. not a huge deal, but I do think it's a little shady and worth noting.
 
If they're reading the blog and using your information, um, why not pitch them stories? Might as well get paid for your work.

Your pal,

oh, I don't think they would fuck with me like that, since we made fun of Catchdubs one time. but I'm not really sweating it. people can bite or follow our lead and that's cool, I kinda like when it happens, but I'm still gonna point it out when I see it.
