Happy Birthday Rhymes with Snitch - Let's Talk


Congratulations Rhymes you made it, 18 years.

You're an adult now and it's time we had an adult conversation...

It's true. 

If you were around back in 2006 you know what it was. I said whatever I wanted to say, however I wanted to say it and so did you. We were one big, argumentative, dysfunctional, tea sipping bunch.

No holds barred. 

The Internet was still wild back then, too. But it's not like that anymore and an eighth of the stuff that was posted here could get this blog deleted these days, which is why I had to spend the better part of a year archiving certain stories and deleting over 3 million old comments. I've even had some of my posts deleted without warning, directly by Blogger. Now I have to get creative with the wordplay about certain subjects to keep from getting flagged. 

I said all that to say this: I'm not here to censor opinions, even ones I despise, and usually won't delete a comment as long as it's not ethnocentric, misogynoir, racist and you can say it without using undisguised curse words, personal insults or being vulgar. I also reserve the right to delete wtf I want, especially if it's just hate spam directed towards me [a person nobody here knows in real life], like this is some kind of burn book or personal diary. 

Sometimes you'll notice comments disappear and reappear. When that happens it's because the comment automatically went to the spam folder. I've even seen comments pop up in spam days after they've been posted. I have no control over it and don't know the criteria for it. I check the spam folder regularly, so hold off on disguise cussing me out for deleting a comment with no curse words, personal insults or vulgarity. 

Thanks for understanding or I'm sorry to see you go. 

Either way, I'll still be here. 

That Bxtxh

TLDR; Stop cursing and attacking people in comments to keep Rhymes with Snitch from getting flagged. This ain't the wild place it used to be but neither is the Internet in general. Thought that I would self-destruct but I'm still here. Even in my years to come I'm still gon' be here.

I still remember when you made the post with your number and told us we can call to talk. I literally called and heard rhymes with snitch. I said oh you answered. I don’t have anything to say. Bye!😂 You got me through many days of working my first real job out of college and I thank you for that! Happy Birthday!

@7:32AM Man...Rhymes was definitely there for that first real entry-level bullshit job, getting us through the day with its random off the wall posts. Congrats!

Rhymes With Snitch said...

7:32 So many people called and hung up in my face, but a couple people who called were spilling tea lol

Rhymes With Snitch said...

7:38 I literally wrote a whole post begging you to stop cursing 🤦🏾‍♀️ lol

Happy Birthday Snitch! I've had this site bookmarked since the beginning. It's part of my morning check-in to see what's going on in the celebrity world. As Nicole Bitchie, Karmaloop and Crunk and Disorderly fell by the wayside, you stood strong and I appreciate that! Thank you for every post!

I've been around since 2007 or so. Sometimes these comments can get really negative and vex my spirit. I stay away on those days. Still, I appreciate the years of consistency. I've tried and keeping a blog going daily is not an easy task. Happy birthday, Snitch!! You are much appreciated!! ❤️

R in NYC said...

I don't believe you're the same person who started this in 2006 but whoever you are, whatever.

@ 8:46 Same, I don't think so either.

Hopefully Bee Gee & Obeah Warrior show up in the

You’re an adult now Snitchy, so it’s time to do
your first bump of marching powder from Wendy’s secret stash & your first shot of Ciroc from Diddy’s private collection! We’ll all be in the bathroom waiting on you babe!

Best Wishes,

Happy Birthday..through the many changes over the years..one thing has remained a constant..I must peep Everyday!! Lol Congratulations

LOLOL said...

I don't believe this is the same Snitch either. I have been here since 2009. The post were better back then unless you just got lazy and stop looking for topics that everyone else reported. You didn't repeat the same ppl every day and now you and MTO.com have become partners.
I miss the old days when it was no censoring.
Yes, I'm glad that Wear Wolf Warrior is gone with her stupid comments that took up the hole page.
I will thank you keeping the spammers off here because they are annoying.

Happy Birthday RhymeswithSnitch!!!! The dedication you have in building and maintaining this website is beyond admirable! You are one of the few sites I can rely onto post the tea on schedule and with minimal typos. Thank you for keeping me informed and entertained over the years with your witty sarcastic POV.


I’m gonna rock wit you as long as you’re around!!!

18 years!!! Wow. I started reading this blog when everybody and their mama had a blog but they've all phased out and RWS is still standing. Happy Birthday!

I could rebuild this while blog on wordpress on your own server and transfer the DNS to point there. Im pretty sure theres a way to transfer all old posts as well but not comments.

If you get of bloggers servers you wont be sensored by them. However I'm sure they're helping you avoid other liabilities ypu could be in control of the moseration tools and designate respectful, long time commenters to help you manage as moderators. Another community i joined in the early 2000s did that, also a wild but mostly decent place (not reddit) and user moderation by community members worked really well and still going today. Moderator status was not public facing so they wouldn't be attacked for laying down the law. I can even set up ad serving on the new server if you’d like.

Im a black, female developer, snitch.I could even build you an app. Lets talk.

@1133. Right. I remember Black Voices. It was a cool blog site before Huffington Post purchased and destroyed it.

I think a lot of Black blogs were purchased by people just to shut them down. So glad Snitch hasn't sold out.

Anonymous said...

Since you want to spoil some tea! Is u fkkn Sandra Rose? Did Sandra Rose buy this blog??? And you deleting 3 million comments is so cowardly. I bet those was the most lit ones. You bragging about still standing but really you're getting left behind because you gotta white wash your site for white folks. I should have it own server by now!

Anonymous said...

I remembered when this blog was lit and you didn't delete comments like a complete hypocrite. Happy b day. SMH

Not happy about your “birthday” or whatever snitch…. You need to do better instead of celebrating

Rainy Dayz said...

You done made it this long to conform?
You delete comments when the comments are what keep sites alive…
It used to be lit in here now it’s like a kindergarten classroom
Many of the regulars are gone because your restrictions ran them off
Restrictions on a gossip site 🤣
Chile the caucasity

I support the 1st and 2nd amendments; many trip over the most important amendment on their way to the 2nd. Once we have lost the 1st, we are going to need those guns. You have given voice to the voiceless, you can be proud as a brave warrior of truth tellers. Speaking truth to power can get you silenced, but you're still here. Wishing you many more happy returns.

I've been checking with this site for the last 18 years!! Glad it's still around. Miss the the old RWS (things you'll read on the bathroom wall)! I'm not sure why I'm still holding out hope you'll ONE day you'll reveal your self. LMAO!! I think you're the ONLY blogger no one really knows what you look like. Or have I missed something?!?!?

Lili said...

SNIIIIIIIITCH!


I've been here on and off for YEAAAAARS. You got a young girl through those early working years and gave me the celeb gossip I shared with my friends!

It started getting too serious in the comments so I fell back for some years. I remember some of the old regulars like "BeeGee" "Niyabingi... something" etc.

This place was fun and wild.


Thanks for maintaining the most fun bathroom wall on the internet.



PS: "Thought that I would self-destruct but I'm still here. Even in my years to come I'm still gon' be here."
Snitch is a BC/Bey fan too :)

Much love and appreciation, always!

Happy Birthday!

I mainly post anonymously but I've been here since the beginning. My younger brother and I used to laugh SO HARD at the comments. They were iconic. This is the only blog I'll ever read. And yes! I had a crappy job 18 years ago too but look at us now! All grown up and balling, love it! Don't stop Snitch, you're the best!

Happy Birthday RWS!!

I been here from the very beginning. 2006, My go to's were RWS, ConcreteLoop and Crunk & Disorderly. You are the only one still standing and that says alooottttttttt! Took some time to adjust to the changes, and admittedly some I DO NOT LIKE, (I like to cuss! lol) but I'll be here evolving with you for as long as you keep doing it. Your flowers BEEN due. 🫶🏽

Anonymous said...

I was 16 when you first started, being somewhere I shouldn't be lol. Until my aunt saw how juicy your site was and would tell me "get up" and would sit and go thru your whole blog. Even use to call me and pull up your page SMH lol memories. I remember as a teen being so happy that I had a gossip site that no one knew about and I knew before celebrity tea that before everyone else. Don't know if my aunt is still on here.. hey DeeDee 👋. Thank you for 18 years of commitment, love from Cali ~ Teniesha 😘

Don't know if you'll read this one or not, Snitch, but first, happy birthday, and second, could you use Disqus, or some other service, for comments? It would be nice to respond directly to a poster's comment, and more convenient too. Just saying.

Aww, HBD! I’m with 4:32! Started my career in nyc in the 2000s with this site and the other 2 blogs listed above plus my other favorite, DListed. I miss all those and always saw this spot as so much better than Shondra & Mediatakeout (can’t believe that’s lasted and find a server other than disqus!). I never ever posted back then… took covid years to get me posting! Anyhoo, you staying (at least to 20 yrs!) so I need to find a name to use. RWS, is this your career or still your sidekick? When you do end this, you need to share a photo!

Happy Birthday, yes I'm late. This blog is my go too. YBF got tired, memba Crunk and disorderly, yeah most don't, TMZ to dang white, bossip ehhhhh weird, the others others so many that are out there but trash. I realize the fame and the money are fleeting these are some people who got lucky. They are just like us and make decisions that are not always wise. We as "fans" expect them to be flawless but in reality they are insecure with issues just like the average people who admire them. With that being said continue to share the truth they don't want you to see.
