This has got to be one of the coolest interactive websites out.
Music Plasma had me racking my memory trying to find some of the Hip Hop groups I used to listen to in the past.
This is definitely not limited to Hip Hop, so put in any of your favorite artists from ANY time period. It's hard to stump this site.
Sometimes I would put artists or groups in and see others that I had totally forgot about.
Leave some comments on who you put and and who else you found.
Holla at the site, then Holla Back.
a great example to use is Wu-Tang. This thing shows all of their affiliates and side groups. It's amazingly accurate!

It didn't have jewelz...no, I'm not talking about Juelz Santana. I mean Allen Iverson's rap name. Or Chris Webber. Not to mention wordsmiths (Hashim's hip hop group)

Looks like it's based on the All Music Guide data and is a cool visual representation of their "music maps" and related artists info. I could tell because they continue to perpetuate the idea that Raheem from 5th Ward and Raheem the Dream are the same person.
This is definitely one of the nicer and cleaner interfaces to this info that I've seen, though.

I've been putting in stuff like:
Blowfly, pretty interesting connection he made.
2nd II None, y'all remember that one hit wonder. Well they had a hit in Memphis back in the day.
Masta Ace, I thought he had more West Coast connections.
Freestyle Fellowship, I had totally forgot about them until I started watching "You Got Served" over and over and over... (Yeah, I'm man enough to admit it! That movie was dope dance-wise, but that's it.)
I'm still trying to figure out the name of the dude and had that chorus: "Let me put my tape inside ya boombox baby, your boombox baby, your boombox baby..."
Anybody?
