Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox website AllHipHop is a hip hop news website founded by Greg Watkins and Chuck Creekmur in 1998.

History

The website was founded in 1998 by Greg Watkins and Chuck Creekmur.[1] In 1997, Watkins registered the allhiphop.com domain to promote the artists on Oblique Recordings, a small record label he operated. The website provided music downloads to promote the label's artists. After reaching 30,000 downloads a month, Watkins struck deals with eMusic and other retailers to sell downloads.

Creekmur, a freelance journalist, had launched a website, tantrum-online, in New York City. After merging the companies, they adapted Trantrum's exclamation point logo for AllHipHop.[2] By 2004, the business generated enough revenue for Watkins and Creekmur to work full-time on the website. In 2007, the revenue exceeded US$4 million.[3]

On August 12, 2017, AllHipHop announced a partnership with Maven, a company based in Seattle, to manage its entire digital media platform.[4]
