AllHipHop is a hip hop news website founded by Greg Watkins and Chuck Creekmur in 1998.
History
[edit]The website was founded in 1998 by Greg Watkins and Chuck Creekmur.[1] In 1997, Watkins registered the allhiphop.com domain to promote the artists on Oblique Recordings, a small record label he operated. The website provided music downloads to promote the label's artists. After reaching 30,000 downloads a month, Watkins struck deals with eMusic and other retailers to sell downloads.
Creekmur, a freelance journalist, had launched a website, tantrum-online, in New York City. After merging the companies, they adapted Trantrum's exclamation point logo for AllHipHop.[2] By 2004, the business generated enough revenue for Watkins and Creekmur to work full-time on the website. In 2007, the revenue exceeded US$4 million.[3]
On August 12, 2017, AllHipHop announced a partnership with Maven, a company based in Seattle, to manage its entire digital media platform.[4]
Figures from May 2008[needs update] show it attracted over 37 million page views a month.[5]
Accolades
[edit]In 2006, AllHipHop won the Rising Stars Award from Black Enterprise magazine.[6]
In 2007, PC Magazine listed it as one of the "Top 100 Undiscovered Web Sites".[7]
Essence magazine dubbed AllHipHop "the CNN of hip-hop" in 2008.[8]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
