2 YEARS: THANX TO THE READERS!
Sunday, November 4, 2007

Yesterday marked the two year anniversary for ConcreteLoop.com and today is actually my 23rd birthday (Happy Bday to me and all that jazz). I wasn’t even going to make this post, but then I thought this is a perfect time to thank all the readers for their support and word of mouth. Concrete Loop is now one of the hottest spots on the net and I say that humbly of course. I never thought this blog would be as popular as it is now, and I actually still trip out that celebrities check it out. So on CL’s 2nd Anniversary we all just wanted to say thanx to all the readers for holding us down.
Tianna and Brian also have some words for you guys so keep reading.
“CL has grown tremendously since I began contributing to the site. From the exclusives to the interviews, the site is just becoming more of a source for the people and it really is humbling how much exposure we receive. But CL wouldn’t be near as popular if it wasn’t for the millions of readers and commenters that visit the site. Just the thought that people take time out of their busy days to come and show love to us really pushes all of the CL family to keep on going. The site is going through the growth process - Angel gave birth to this creation, and once it learned how to walk, it never learned how to stop. As CL continues to grow and others watch it grow, it will remain unstoppable.” - Tianna (Fashion & Story Contributor)
“CL has grown immensely in its readership and popularity. I’ve met some amazing people with this opportunity and I’m just so happy that Angel has allowed me to be a part of this family. This is a great job and I greatly appreciate the readers that show us so much love and support. You are who we do this for. I am so excited about the two year anniversary because Concrete Loop has nowhere to go but up.” - Brian ( Music Contributor)

I just want to say that as a reader of your Website - I am so proud of you and your staff! I first started reading entertainment black blogs last year. My friend told me about cake and ice cream. I thought it was a fun blog. Eventually, i did searches of other black entertainment blogs.. I found Bossip.com, SandraRose, Concrete Loop and Crunk and Disorderly. I must say that out of all the Black Entertainment Blogs.. I think Concrete Loop is the Best! You have great pics, new music and fun stuff. Cake and Ice Cream is just too much Fluff, Crunk and Disorderly is so Wack to me.. They just put down all celebrities for new reason and the others just cant compare to your Blog.
I love your interviews with Celebrities… I told many people about your website.. Because it is just the BEST!
Happy Birtday and keep doing an AWESOME job!

Congrats on your two year anniversary CL (and happy birthday Angel!). I think I stumbled across CL because another blog gave a shout out to it - I’ve been hooked ever since.
I hope you continue to grow, and don’t lose your edge and become “mainstream” (ala TMZ and Perez Hilton).
You guys do a great job! Keep up the great work!

Happy Anniversary to CL, - Congratulations to Angel, Brian and Tianna. You all have done an excellent job is creating one of — if not the, most premiere weblog of it’s kind.
Your balanced approached to stories and information and the fact that you consider not only celebrity and entertainment , but also social issues, is a testament to your professionalism and consciousness. I wish you all more success in this endeavour and in your educational aspirations. The fact the you all are running this site while you are full time students is amazing.
Happy B’Day Angel —

come on
Sunday, November 4, 2007 /
Angel, I’m glad too that you removed the “Guess Who” (Gary Coleman) post. In my humble opinion, what will continue to distinguish CL from other celebrity gossip blogs is your willingness to keep a positive spirit. Gossip? Yes. Mean-spiritedness? No way. Congrats, and continue to keep it fun and informative. And happy birthday, and may you have many, many happy returns.

@ 69. The site has ads because they need them to keep it up. I know Angel has to be paying out the ass on monthly fees now. I’m betting it’s in the thousands. The hits are high and will continue to get higher.

I’ve been with y’all 3 months into when this whole site started. And I can attest that y’all made a damn good come up from what the site was before (everything from the layouts to the interviews to the exclusives that no other site has *at least w/ as much info*) …. Now every other site is copping the CL style *I won’t mention names eh-hem** but they don’t come close…
So congrats to the trio that gives me my daily gossip right…. here’s to how long we can can stomach these celebs lol *cuz they will get too old for us to care anymore*..
