Perfect (Hip-Hop) Media

Perfect (hip-hop) media explores in an entertaining, informative, inspiring, and empowering way how (hip-hop) affects the world and how the world affects (hip-hop).

And I think being perfect can sell (hip-hop) better than sex.

No disrespect intended but I don't think it's a good sign that you're quoting yourself in your own blog. Please, step back from the keyboard!

[Clyde Smith]

On the other hand, it may get you ridiculed at Oh Word and that's good for at least 15 to 25 visitors at minimum!

[Hashim]

Yeah, the self quote is kind of pretentious. Who am I - Nas?

I will change that when I get back to my computer.

[Clyde Smith]

"sell more than sex"

you mean, like, drugs?

[jayt jones]

sell more than sex....nah

[Nay Nay]

But how do you sell something as perfect? Nothing and no one is perfect. It's selling something false. Even though some people are ignorant to believe that some of these celebrities/rappers/etc. are "perfect", I hope there are some people out there who realize that they are not. And living in this sinful world, people will always be hooked onto sex, violence, and anything else negative. People are more inclined to be drawn to something negative than positive.

[Hashim]

"People are more inclined to be drawn to something negative than positive."

I don't believe that is true. We are drawn to whatever is compelling, whether negative or positive.

The basketball and hip-hop culture fusion of the past 23+ years is now being called The "Dunkadelic-Era" In America, 1984-Present. The "Dunkadelic" terminology was created in 1997 as the one-word term that would define the combination of basketball and hip-hop. Dunkadelic (adj) the fusion of basketball and hip-hop inspired by the cultural aestheics of urban style, fashion, and attitude. Highlight dunks or dunker's to music or rap lyrics. This is 1st sport and music defined era in modern American hstory. The "Dunkadelic-Era" will be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary in 2009. Allen Iverson is the #1 most influencial person of The "Dunkadelic-Era."

If you wanna see and hear something that's "real hip hop" then check out www.boogiedowncomics.com. Boogie Down! is the first ever hip hop dance comic with its own mixtape. Name another comic book in which characters face off in dance battles and rhyme when they talk? Or a comic with its own audio track? This is something that has never been done before and I think you would find it quite interesting.

CBS 4 Reporter Shomari Stone interviewed Rap Star Rick Ross about the “Hip Hop Grub Spot” in Miami.

Ross opened the restaurant with San Francisco 49er Frank Gore and some non-profit organizations. Hip Hop Grub Spot gives African American teens the opportunity to learn how to become Executive Chefs. Much respect Ross. TRILLA!!! (1/27/08)

RE-UP Gang, Aceyalone, Akrobatik, and more anounced in final line-up
UPDATED MAR 03 2008

The time has come and the wait is over. The final and complete artist announcement is here. There is a lot to say but at the same time, there is little that is worth saying at all. The names really speak for themselves. We feel like children waiting outside an unopened candy shop (no 50 reference) except the shop doesn't open till March 20th. Some would term it as crazy, some would say it is going to get straight ignorant up in there, we look at the lineup and one word comes to mind... breathtaking. Read and interpret for yourself.

Rock Your Favorite Sweater to A3C for Mr. Rogers
UPDATED FEB 28 2008

We recently realized that the kick off day of this year's A3C (3/20) happens to fall on the birthday anniversary of America's beloved Mr. Rogers. In honor of the man who seemed to always keep his look fresh, the A3C has endorsed the "Won't You Wear Your Sweater?" Day. In doing so, we would like to encourage everyone who plans to attend the A3C to rock their favorite sweater and as neighborhood postman Mr. McFeely says in this Youtube video, it doesn't have to have a zipper on it like the one Mr. Rogers used to wear.

In keeping true to the tradition Mr. Rogers maintained by always keeping his footwear fresh, the A3C will give out a free pair of customized A3C kicks to the person who rocks the flyest sweater to the festival on Thursday March 20th!

i think people just need to sit back and look at the big picture and then go from there and figure out how you can get people to buy records again

also if u like soulja boy check out this single he produced for V.I.C. called "get silly" at myspace.com/superstarvic there's also a music video for it up there

[cookiemonsta]

Dj Cookie Monster was born June 19,1992 in Cincinnati Ohio. He grew up around Hip Hop since he was an infant. Being a son of producer G-Money, this kept Dj Cookie Monster in the
studio quite often.
By the age of 13 years old he gained interest in wanting to become a rapper. Then at the age of 14 years old he moved in with his father.
While living with his father he decided to pursue his ambitions of
becoming a rap artist.
So with the help of his father, who is a veteran in the game in
April of 07 he began working on his freshman album the "Cookie Jar".

"I am on a campaign to show the youth it's more than one way to
hustle" says Cookie Monster.

please go checkout his 2 singles at itunes music store or myspace.com/icookmics
