Mickey stops by POW! Radio to spit a few bars. Speaking of the GFC emcee… the dopeboyz are supposed to meet up with dude sometime this week but I doubt the Shake can make it. So maybe Meka will have some exclusive stuff soon? We’ll see.

SHAKE: Where do I start? I remember when the idea was just that … an idea I pitched to Meka with no exact expectations. I wish I could remember some of the titles we were gonna run with. The Tapedeck, Paid in Full, Can We Live, etc. There were some great ones and some horrible ones. I’m glad we ran with 2dopeboyz, because it embodies exactly what we are haha. I never thought we’d be at where we are so quick. I remember when we hit that 1millie mark. Once we hit 2 millie so quick I knew it was a wrap. I have a bunch of shit to say and a bunch of people to thank but I’ve gotta continue packing. So just know I appreciate any and everything ya’ll do for us. Thanks for keeping in tune with the dopeboyz as we venture to take over the industry like we promised just one year ago.

MEKA: I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Hell, I didn’t even know what I’d be doing when I was approached with the idea last year. I am however eternally grateful for the opportunity I was given, and it has no doubt played a huge part in essentially every endeavor I’ve done in the past 366 (leap year, bidges). Many thanks to Shake for essentially taking a chance on an angry Black blogger (I ain’t mad no more like Skillz, though), and I thank everybody who has visited, commented, downloaded, talked shit, downloaded then talked shit, collaborated, all that good stuff. Here’s to another 12 months of delivering the goods this culture desperately needs, and be on the lookout for much bigger and better things in the future.

Shake: That’s right folks, in 6 short months Shake and Meka have surpassed 1million views. We actually did last week and planned to do something special for ya’ll. We were gonna compile a mix of about 16 of our all time favorite joints (no genre restrictions) but since the life of a dopeboy can get crazy hectic, we’ve been way too busy to do so. I’m sure we’ll do it for the hell of it later on. We’ll see. I personally wanna thank all the dopeboyz and dopegirlz out there that continue to support us. From the crazy comments to the enjoyable emails (most of the time haha). Here’s to 2million. Meka, what’cha got to say?

Meka: Many thanks to everyone who’s been down since the jump, for without you this site would not be what it is today. Many thanks to everyone who’s linked, propped, co-signed or swagger jacked our style. Many thanks to everyone I’ve met through this site, and much respect to everyone who inspires me to continue to do what I do. There’s really not much to say except:

You miss it. You love it. You know you want to read it. Here’s a clip of my take on the various jobs in the industry:

“E-Thug. Seeing as how MySpace hacking, YouTube threats and various other online disses are the new stabbings, drive-bys and shootings, what’s better than voicing your disdain for a rapper than spelling it out under an anonymous name in the comments section of your favorite website? Cyber-thugging is the ideal position for those who have the mouthpiece but lack the brawn and balls to actually do something.”
