Looking back Russell Simmons apparently got a lot of things right. I’m going with Mr. Simmons on this one. He’s not a self-made money-man for nothing! To the nay-sayers, haters, etc., just keep it movin’.

I have become a regular user of GG since earlier this year and it has progress incredibly well since then. Whether it’s site content, how it looks and interacts, or even the amount of people who are uploading content, I have found myself impressed with many different facets of the site. I’m glad to hear it has opened up older folks to the social networking capabilities of the internet, and it can also bring about a dialogue between people of different generations and cultures because you can comment on the particular stories or features you’re watching. Big ups to Russell, Run, Facebook, and everyone who has helped to create Global Grind and continue to push it to the forefront of the internet and media industry.

As a regular user of GG, I enjoy it. It is a quick look into popular culture from myriad vantage points. AND I have the opportunity to upload content that I think is relevant to my people and peers–politics, health issues, career development. I even get to promote my little brother who’s an aspiring music producer. I am an African-American, 34 year-old, married, mother and with a six figure salary. I’m no techno geek some of the stuff you talk about in your blog is above my head. I’m just pointing out a usere perspective. Prior to GG, I had never considered getting involved in any of these online communities or online social networking. GG has definitely opened up a portal for me to give and get a little. Also, each time I get on the site, there are new features. As a user, it is only getting better

I hear you. I was mad as heck last week when someone grinded some girl, RitaG and her panties. However, if you navigate the site you will find some really good grinds/stories.

HipHop encompasses many people. I’m old school and am not feeling the current artists, 50, Enimem, etc. So, GG is for everyone. If you want hip hop sites to be more than T&A, get involved and grind stories you feel are relevant and reflect who you are. I can get mad everytime I see and hear something ignorant or I can address it directly to the source.

One more thing, remember GG is user driven. It is a reflection of what’s out there. I’m going to continue to give GG a chance. I’m hoping for the best. There’s too much hate out there from the “Man” that I don’t need to add to it by putting down a brotha for trying. Let’s talk again.

It’s not “hating” it’s called “having higher expectations” for an operation that has the money to do better than what they’ve done.

And considering the B.S. currently on the homepage — I mean damn, hasn’t hip-hop progressed beyond photos of broads with big asses? — I think it’s a fair assessment.

Content and community are key to this kind of site and all they’ve done is throw some money and some media influence at it.

Yes I agree globalgrind is doomed, and as techcrunch would say it’s time to start a deathwatch. Same thing with Dame Dash’s Block Savvy – I don’t think that’s doing well either and at least Dash isn’t new to this. The hip hop market is huge, but they are not capitalizing on it the right way. The old rules no longer apply. Hip hop is not enough to base a start page on, it’s only an element. If only I had Russell’s ear …

If I’m not mistaken, GlobalGrind.com is its own venture with investment from Russell Simmons and Accel Partners.

True indeed, my sista. I’m glad I’m not the only one who osn’t feeling the Digg clone thing. Rev Run should have followed his instincts and stayed out of GG.
