Hey Guys,
Hip Hop has to be one of the most community oriented genres of music next to Country/Tejano music which can be explained through all sorts of cultural studies babble I'm willing to explain at some later juncture. What I am here to talk about is Ning social networks, and how they are being leveraged to help further hip hops community orientation.
Rawkus - With over 7000 members this community is so popular and well designed it got featured on the main page, a great design with plenty of blogs, videos and music to keep ya busy or promote your own work.
Hip Hop Talk - A Hip Hop Network which seems to be build around an online journalism, nice design and a nice start with over 100 members.
The WordTV - Another network built around hip hop in an online tv sort of approach, with about 500 members, this netowrk is SUPER slick.
Those are some of the best Hip Hop networks I found to put your NingID's to some use. Ning has been rolling out new features consistently as usual which continues to show what an amazing product they have.
