Alchemist is Banned From This Website

Apparently noted producer The Alchemist is using "Beverly Hills Pimps n Hos," a loathsome company owned by that loser from the Paris Hilton sex tapes, to promote his new album. And with their help, Alchemist has become perhaps the first Hip-Hop artist to promote his album using comment spam, as witnessed here. Therefore he is now banned from this website until further notice. Sure, sure, he probably has no idea the company is doing this. I don't care. He's banned.

In related news, I'm going to try installing this MT plugin, has anyone else tried it out?

damn man. that's kinda weird. Isn't he on KOCh or something.

I've seen people successfully using either that or another CAPTCHA plugin for MT, but I'd suggest just jumping to MT3. Even if you don't turn on TypeKey, you can moderate comments and choose to approve them before they appear. Email me if you need...

I erased the evidence but I want to co-sign this. My site was hit with the same kind of spam. So Alchemist is banned from Hip Hop Blogs too.

By the way big up to the Cholate Industries pr team, and other publicists/promoters for using blogs correctly. I know some of us have been given free cd's and concert tickets as exchange for mentions on our blogs. That the right way to do things.

Cool... maybe Al will show up to defend himself. I doubt he knows about it.

I'm using the c.a.p.t.c.h.a. plugin, and I've only had one piece of spam get through (how the fuck they do that??). I also installed MT3, but I'm a little reluctant to make people register in order to comment. I'm always annoyed when I visit a site and they make me register before I comment. Half the time I just leave and don't comment.

Whiskey tango foxtrot? I don't get anything other than death threats and my shit is way more popular than the rest of you bitches.

Chocolate Industries, wtf is wrong w/ you bitches? Send me some free shit already. I sincerely can't afford to buy your shit anyway (yes I make $7/hour and don't have so much as enough to buy a CD in my account). Hook a brother up!

byron... your shit is better than popular. it is infamous and lamentable.

[Sure, sure, he probably has no idea the company is doing this.}

And he'll soon learn ignorance is bad for business.

Boo to Alchemist. What a shame, I was a fan.

oh, so it's OK to make music that glorifies violence and misogyny... but spam... now that's crossing the line!

Hashim -- I guess you ain't official in the hip hop blog world until you've been comment spammed by BHPNH. So until it happens to me I await the day (not).

I know Alan (Alchemist) from way back in the day and I'm pretty sure he's probably not even aware of what's being done on behalf of his album promo-wise here.

Byron, you want free ish? Look at the "Presented by..." links on contests I've hosted on my site and reach out to those folks for a hook-up. It's that easy (I think).

Yeah, free shit is free shit. Tonight I drank 2 of somebody's leftover pitchers at this bar I went to. The bartender kid came and tried to take them away, but I was like, "Dude, they're both more than half full." Other than the fact that it was kinda warm, it wasn't really as bad as it sounds.

LOL at infamous and lamentable.

I need to try one of these plugins. I can't stand getting sex pill spam even when I update MT Blacklist regularly I still get that crap.

I wan free stuff, too.

The Alchemist is my favorite producer in the hip hop game, next to Dr.Dre. I trully believe he is everything Kanye West pretends to be. From California to New York City he has it locked down.

You all sound like a bunch of jealous suckas.......He gained the respect of Muggs and is part of SOUL ASSASINS, he empressed Primo in NY and has been a loyal family member of Mobb and the Infamous crew. Nas, Fat Joe, Dilated, Mobb, Lyodd Banks, Kool G and the list goes on. As far as the Pimps and Hos whatever... that's our homie for decades gear, i will send you some gear, you all sound like some hos..... Keep banging the heat.

Awesome post. Love your blog design.

First of all, who cares who Alchemist is getting to promote his new album. Are the fans buying his promoter's cd or his? This is similar to the R Kelly scandal. Just because he had sex with a 14 year old and pissed on her, it didn't affect him as an artist and his record sales. I just don't think it should matter to the Alchemist fans, you're buying the music, not who the promoter is or whatever they did in the past, present, or future. Alchemist has been the hottest producer for about two years now, and i'm sure he's going to continue to drop the sick beats and now lyrics.
