A Culture Without a Blog
Wednesday, March 12, 2008
Welcome to the Detroit Rap Blog. The concept is simple, although it's taken me a while to get around to making it manifest.
My recent reinterest in Detroit area rap has uncovered a rich & diverse Hip Hop culture within Detroit & its surrounding area. I want to talk about it, learn it, & share it with other people. This web site will serve as my mouth piece on the web, in the same spirit as www.hiphopmusic.com, www.hiphop-blogs.com, & other sites whose interests are their area or the general Hip Hop culture. I can only look forward to being a well-read & in touch with Hip Hop as the authors of these two sites.
I'll also try to highlight my tastes in Detroit rap music by exposing my readership to audio clips shared with me by these generous artists. There's a growing online community representing Detroit Hip Hop & rap music. It's not my intent to start another one or take from that. My intent is to direct people to that community. I hope I will be able to represent the Detroit rap music culture in a way to interest newcomers & to the apprciation of those putting in the real work for the culture.
And, I will ALWAYS write in a conversational style & ALWAYS capitalize the words Hip Hop.
