New Rules (Fuck Bill Maher)

Leaks

Formerly this rule only applied to albums, but a [LEAK] post is not appropriate if a Fresh thread is expected within 48 hours also applies to singles or if the song is just released in a different time zone.

[FRESH] Posts

Formerly, the rule was that [FRESH] posts cannot be posted until projects are released in North America, because that's where the large majority of our userbase lies, however, if an artist is based in another country (ex: the UK), a release thread can be posted when music is available in their time zone. This is because artists based in other countries generally have a bigger following in where they reside.

Vague Announcements

Announcements that are allowed:

Revealing project title (not counting sequels unless there's a sub title)
Revealing specific release date (ex: day, month and year)
Revealing cover art
Revealing tracklist
Revealing features/production credits

Not allowed:

Sequel announcement without any of the above things.
Collaboration announcement without any of the above things.

Self promotion clarification

If you don't contribute to /r/HipHopHeads, don't just come here to post your music. Reddit recommends that only 10% of your posts be self promotion. This includes only posting links from your YouTube channel or SoundCloud account. If you're posting original music, don't ask for feedback in the title of your post. If you're looking for feedback go to /r/MakingHipHop or the Daily Discussion thread, it's much better suited for that.

Favorites List Rule Update/Clarification

covers/performances/mashups/remixes of songs on the Favorites List are prohibited unless they're new. Bonus tracks from albums on the favorites list are prohibited as well

No announcement threads for things happening within 12 hrs

Same day announcements can be redundant when a new thread is expected soon.

New additions to formulaic posts

commenting about misreading things
talking about the comment section on the source article
People pretending old popular songs are something new or obscure

This will be expanded with your suggestions.

Full projects

Full projects (albums, EPs, mixtapes) should not be posted unless they're [FRESH] or it's a [DISCUSSION] thread either one week away or on a milestone anniversaries (1 year, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years, and so on.)

New Threads

/r/MakingHipHop Monthly Highlights

You may have noticed that there's been a couple of these threads already (February, March, April and May). It's very difficult for new music to pop off here but /r/MakingHipHop has facilitated a great community for artists and so far the threads have been a great addition.

Hype Thursdays

You may have noticed these posts (1, 2, 3, 4), pretty basic concept: it's a thread to promote up and coming artists. For an artist to qualify they have to have gotten less than 50 upvotes on the subreddit.

Give us your feedback, if you have any suggestions or ideas to promote discussion, we're very open to suggestions. Also complaints, we love complaints.

Sincerely,

The mods
