NORTHEAST HIPHOP DOCUMENTARY TEASER!!!

WE HAVE A LITTLE TEASER FROM THE FORTHCOMING DOCUMENTARY! WATCH IT BELOW!!

Hip Hop is Dead (Teaser) from Nick Light on Vimeo.

This is made up of a small amount of the footage shot on the 7th of March at the Hip Hop Social at the Kings Manor.

It took a while to edit as I was given way too much good footage to use. It could quite easily of been a 20 minute promo! But that would defeat the purpose.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of footage we get when the cameras start rolling for real.

Its really exciting!

UPDATES

WELL, WE'RE ONLY ONE MONTH INTO THE WEBSITE AND THINGS ARE LOOKING PROMISING ALREADY. WE HAVE A NICE SELECTION OF VIDEOS AND A COUPLE DOWNLOADS, AND INTEREST GROWING BY THE DAY. IF YOU REGUARLY CHECK THIS SITE THEN YOU WILL NOTICE SOME NEW ADDITIONS

PAGES

I HAVE INCLUDED SOME PAGES ABOVE THE MAIN CONTENT, THIS IS BECAUSE I WANT THIS INFORMATION TO ALWAYS BE READILY AVAILABLE AND SEPERATE FROM THE MAIN CONTENT OF THE SITE.

THE DOCUMENTARY PAGE WILL BE UPDATED AS AND WHEN I HEAR THINGS FROM NICK, BUT CURRENTLY CONTAINS PHOTOS FROM THE SOCIAL WE HELD AT THE KINGS MANOR A LITTLE WHILE BACK. TWAS A GOOD NIGHT WITH FACES OLD AND NEW GETTING TOGETHER FOR A BIT OF A PARTY, CHECK EM OUT, AND, IF YOU WERE THERE YOU MIGHT SEE YOURSELF!!!

THE GRAFFITI PAGE IS THERE BECAUSE ALTHOUGH GRAF IS GENERALLY REGARDED AS HIPHOP, I WANTED TO KEEP IT SEPERATE AND NOT MAKE THE WEBSITE ABOUT GRAF SO I HAVE POSTED SOME PLAYLISTS TO WATCH WHICH CAN BE AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED WITHOUT ALWAYS CREATING A NEW POST / ARTICLE.

THE CONTACT US PAGE IS EXACTLY THAT. IT CONTAINS MY CONTACT DETAILS AND ALSO A FEW GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING MUSIC AND LINKS. READ IT CAREFULLY AND TAKE NOTE PLEASE!!!

ALSO I HAVE ADDED A MYSPACE LINKS SECTION TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE >>>
IF YOUR MYSPACE IS MISSING THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL ADD IT. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF PEOPLE WHO ONLY HAVE FACEBOOK PAGES INSTEAD OF MYSPACE (WHY? WHY? WHY????) AND I AM CURRENTLY DEBATING WHETHER TO INCLUDE FACEBOOK/SOUNDCLOUD/SOUNDCLICK LINKS BUT MYSPACE IS MOST DEFINATELY PREFFERED (AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MULTIPLE LINKS FOR THE SAME ARTISTS). IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MYSPACE PAGE FOR YOUR MUSIC - GET ONE GODDAMNIT!!!!
