HipHop.com Redirecting to KanyeWest.com

by

Back on March 4 we posted an article about the owner of Loser.com redirecting that domain to the Wikipedia page of Kanye West. Elliot Silver actually spoke to the owner and got some insight behind the move. You can read Elliot’s post here

Well now it seems the registrant of HipHop.com who lives in the U.K. is redirecting HipHop.com to KanyeWest.com. This looks to have been a recent change, maybe it was done by the registrant to counteract the loser.com redirect. Maybe Kanye’s people did some kind of deal.

    “Maybe Kanye’s people did some kind of deal.”
    I think so, since it looks the owner of HipHop.com, Paul Hampartsoumian, known as “Paul H”, the “Rankin” of music photography, personally knows Kanye. 🙂

    Hello MHB,

    Mike Manns related article on linkedIn, now this news comes out. Seems Kanye West chose .COM URL Centric Marketing, the strategic choice for Online Marketing. Congratulations Kanye, you are obviously doing your homework.

    Gratefully, Jeff Schneider (Contact Group) (Metal Tiger)
