When it comes to discussing rap on the internet, no forum comes close to Boxden.
On BX, as its known, street rap co-exists with boom-bap, and you're just as likely to find supporters of Gucci Mane as of Nas. Beyond that, though, no other forum has the breadth of hip-hop culture and news that BX does, and there's always a humorous bent to that discussion. A number of popular rap-related memes have gotten their start on BX; a thread entitled "Wale Is Trash" famously turned into a hundred-page roasting session (which ultimately got deleted, allegedly due to complaints from Wale's camp). Questions such as "Why doesn't Jay-Z have any pictures with J. Cole?" become long-running gags and inside jokes.
No topic is off limits, and discussions frequently spiral into photoshop contests, flamewars and new memes. There are many instances of a thread on BX seeding articles or news items on mainstream publications—including Complex. If that wasn't enough to cement its place at the top of this list, BX has had a clear influence on other rap message boards. The trademark BX "smilies" (emojis created from funny pictures of famous athletes or rappers) have spread all over the other boards on this list. Boxden seems to have absorbed all of the posters from the once huge, now-defunct message board SOHH/ProjectCovo, and has become the top destination to discuss music, sports, news and culture from a hip-hop perspective.
as you know this is my homesite and isn't active battling wise anymore
well it is a little but no thanks to me I feel bad I should do more lol
but discussion wise it is def the best spot. I know some of you here are already there
