A Large Dose of Hip Hop

Do you ever feel like you are behind in the times? You're lost in what's going on in the world of hip hop and don't know how to catch up? Yeah, well, we're all spinning in that storm. But to give you an idea of just what you're missing, and possibly to confirm just what you're missing, there's Alltop.com.

Alltop aggregates all sorts of topics in to one page view. You can even put you cursor over a story and a small (or large) balloon will pop up giving you the first few sentences of the story. I like the Alltop Hip Hop section so that I can scroll through and just get a brief idea of what's going on out there. It's a large dose of information to tackle, but you can do your part. Indy Hip Hop World's on the Alltop Hip Hop listing. I like Alltop better than Google Reader because I at least get to discover some new hip hop blogs and Web sites through Alltop. Well, I guess you can discover new sites through Google Reader ... I just like Alltop for its simplicity.

Go on now ... and fill up on your large dose of hip hop, hip hoppers. kfox.

All Hip Hop, All the Time

So I've finally discovered Alltop.com. I sometimes feel like I'm on the 'last-to-adopt' list when it comes to these things. But then there is the reality ... some of my friends are just learning about Facebook - not signing up - but just learning about it. I'm not ridiculing anyone, it just is what it is.

Back to Alltop and why even if you don't do Facebook, why you should do Alltop.

I like to ingest alot of information including news, music and crafting. I've tried some news aggregators like Google Reader. It's okay. Alltop is something like that. But it's topical. Once you search your topic, you will get three columns of results and each source will list the top five most recent stories/posts.

I was elated that they have a topic dedicated to hip hop:
Very cool to not have to email the admin and say 'hey, can we get a hip hop section?' But if you need it now, check the side bar on this here blog. I try to give you the things that you need.

So go and get your crave satisfied hip hoppers ... just another way to help you stay on top of your game. kfox.
