TIME.COM just released their list of top 50 websites of 2008 and Concrete Loop made the list in the ‘Info & Gossip’ section. That’s wassup! Here is what they wrote:
You may not notice just how white celebrity-gossip sites like TMZ and Perez Hilton really are until you check out ConcreteLoop. Devoted to black celebrities, it regularly features A-listers like Rihanna, Usher, Denzel Washington and Alicia Keys. In addition to the usual paparazzi shots and rumors, you’ll find posts on fashion and politics, as well as tons of comments from ConcreteLoop’s audience of nearly a million regular readers. We also like Bossip for its lower-brow appeal and Nah Right for its choice video clips. [SOURCE]
We appreciate all the support and love from all our visitors! Honestly, I still can’t believe the site is as big as it is. Big thanx to TIME Magazine for recognizing us.
I remember spreading the word with friends about this site..now its in the TIMES!! Congrats!!
I was just thinking that I love concreteloop above all sites Just Yesterday!!! It’s like a Black Cosmo lol!! I could so see this site as a magazine too!
Congratulations Angel!
Trust me, you haven’t even touched the tip of the iceburg!
Your vision and hard work has truly made a difference in the lives of many!
All will agree when I say what would we do without our daily “hit” of Concreteloop and how empty our online experience was before it came to be!
God Bless You Always Sister!
Your Brother,

Congratulations! I would love to see a Concrete Loop Tv show or magazine. But mostly the TV show because there aren’t enough Black people on TMZ and I don’t like the stories they choose to report about Black celebs. I’m really happy for you all!
Well Ive been a fan of this site for quite a while, so as always Concrete Loop you know Im happy for each of you individually…as well as a group/ team. Together you each are teamwork at its finest!
Congrats babies!!
