[Blogger's Note: Desckabaisses, one of my many nicknames, is a Creole term used when playing dominoes. It basically means winning on both ends. I've won before and I'm bout to win again.]

X-X-L's been running this rap ish for a few calendars now.Well, newsflash! XXLmag.com is on the same mission. As many of you know, the team recently lost go-to guys, Eskay and Brendan Frederick, so the squad is rebuilding. Enter the Twin Bill, Jayson "J-Rod" Rodriguez and I, Carl "Jackpot aka Hdottt aka Desckabaissses" Chery. You may not know our names, but you are most likely familiar with our work.

Jay started out at Allhiphop.com a few years back before leaving for stints at Vibe Magazine and later MTV.com. We met as competitors while I made my bones at SOHH.com. I later briefly served as BET.com's Senior Music Producer until Datwon Thomas offered me the chance to co-captain this ship with Jay.

Now, onto the Basketball analogy. SOHH = the San Antonio Spurs. They've been consistent for years and currently hold the title. Ask Alexa! Allhiphop = the Miami Heat. They won the title before the Spurs, but slipped in the standings this season. [Blogger's Note: Obviously, Allhipop didn't slip nowhere near as low as the Heat did.] HipHop DX = the Phoenix Suns. They've been consistent as well, but never made it to the Conference finals. And us, well... we're the Lakers of course. With the Twin Bill in the front court, folks expect us to win. XXLMag.com is the team to beat and people are talking. Taking a page from Elliot "YN" Wilson's book, I've listed industry Twin Bill reactions compiled from e-mail/aim convos and second hand reports.

They said it, not me. But enough with the horn tooting. The industry buzz doesn't mean much if you guys don't feel what we're doing. I'll be picking your brains here. In addition to serving as an editorial of sorts, Blogger's Note will be a space for me to provide behind-the-scenes stories, forecast new site features and most importantly spark discussions. There's a lot of work on my plate, so expect just that. More blogs, more videos, more exclusives, more everything! On that note, shouts to Coach Osorio and GM Cowan for the last gig. I had a ball! And shouts to the Spurs, the Heat and the Suns. I'll shake your hand after the game, but until the buzzer goes off, keep your eye on that rock. May the best team win. Speak on it!
