Honestly, there’s nothing more I like doing than talking about myself so if anyone has a problem with that you can visit another blog…this is My Block bitches! You know, I started WritersBlockMedia Dot Net back in October 2006 and in November 2006 I told you fools I was the Reggie Bush of this blogging shit. (Flashback drop here). I compared myself to Reggie Bush because the way he entered the NFL as the best thing since sliced bread was like the way I entered the blogosphere (well, at least in my mind). You fuxs didn’t hear me then, but fast forward nearly a year later and look at The Block now.
The Block has been linked to blog heavyweights like the Rap Up and Crunk & Disorderly. Brought in as a columnist for HHNLive.com. I’ve been praised by the big homie Billy Sunday. And last night, the leader in hip hop blogs, eskay, linked The Block to Nah Right. Thus, I will nolonger refer to myself as “the Reggie Bush of Bloggers.” From now on I’m “the Vince Young of Bloggers” (Reggie Bush didn’t win NFL Offensive Rookie of the year, Vince Young did…keep up people).
The Black Weblog Awards are getting ready to go down and I deserve a spot. Honestly, I feel Best New Blog should belong to me but under their guidelines, I don’t qualify for that award because my blog was launched before January 1, 2007. But I wasn’t around for the 2006 Awards so I should be legible now. Oh well, it’s cool. But I still deserve one of those awards and if I don’t get one I’m gonna spazz out like Kanye when he loses an award.
I was going to wait until my One Year Anniversary to do a “Best of WritersBlockMedia Dot Net” but since I’m getting crazy traffic right now (thanks to Pimp C), I’m going to pick my Top 10 favorite posts and help some of my new readers get acquainted with the boy R.E. and push for a Black Weblog Award.
The Best of WritersBlockMedia Dot Net
10. Who’s Gettin’ Some Ass and Who Ain’t (View Here)
Here my name was mistakingly put on an Ozone article (Eric, actually wrote that piece). But Sohh Gyant posted my name on sohh.com as the writer which kinda bugged me out, you know, seeing my name on a prominent hip hop blog like that (in hindsight it was a foreshadow of things to come).
9. R.E.’s Playlist (View Here)
R.E.’s Playlist has become a Block favorite. People love downloading shit more than reading my rants and I respect that. I stole the idea from my girl JB and her playlist in Ozone. I brought it to The Block so people could hear the songs I’ve been bumping on my iPod and so I have a record of when I started listening to a song (which is usually months before everyone else).
8. Lauren London Is The New-New (View Here)
In this drop I confessed my love for Lauren London. Secretly, I only blog with hopes that she’ll google her name, see one of my posts on her and give me a call.
7. Sidney Rice Is a Fool (View Here)
In one of my few sports drops, I put former South Carolina Gamecock, Sidney Rice on blast for choosing to stay in school and not go get that NFL gwop. I seriously do believe the fella read my blog, changed his mind and entered the NFL Draft this year.
6. WritersBlockMedia Is That Crack (View Here)
After a few people told me that my site was addictive, I decided to let the worldwide web know WritersBlockMedia was that crack.
5. WritersBlockMedia’s Hot 10 (View Here)
After Maxim stubbed all the black chicks on their Maxim 100 list, I took matters into my own hands and gave props to my 9 fav beautiful black women and Ice-T’s big booty wife.
4. The Love Is For Suckers Campaign (View Here)
People broke up with their significant others, copped the t-shirt (no really) and joined the campaign after this one. “Love Is For Suckers” isn’t just a campaign, it’s a movement.
3. Where The Hoes At? (View Here)
After that Don Imus shit, I quit calling women hoes, instead hoes has forever been replaced on The Block with “promiscuous girls.” That was a monumental moment.
2. I’m Not a Beyonce Hater (View Here)
I pissed a lot of Beyonce stans off with this one. And this is the post that put me on the map (well, at least established my following in Columbia, SC). I realized people visited The Block when chicks saw me out in Columbia and approached me about things I said about Beyonce. To this day, I’m not a Beyonce hater, I still just think her album sucked.
1. The Chronicles of Pimp C (View Here)
This was the drop read around the net. I don’t be on that rumor stuff so I was a little heated this drop wasn’t taken as factual information from the pages of Ozone. But in the end, the Pimp C outtakes started on The Block and spread throughout the internet like wildfire.
That should get new readers up to speed and refresh old readers on the past. Ladies and gentlemen, you are now rockin’ wit’ the best. R.E. aka “the Vince Young of Bloggers.”

“I want my cotdamn trophy.”
