Newsday's Unsightly Tribute to Hip-Hop
Each day this week New York Newsday is paying tribute to Hip-Hop's (more or less) 30th birthday with a series of feature articles. They've also got a special section for it on their site, where you'll find all the articles along with lots of bonus audio and video, including a nice little Jean Grae interview.
It's just too bad all this cool content is presented on the ugliest freaking page I've ever seen in my life. What the hell were you thinking with that faux-graffiti title graphic? Guys, you're in the big leagues now, time to upgrade from MS Paint.
Also note the horrific flash intro, that features repeated mispellings of the word "rap." Yeesh!

wow that was ridiculous. they get their props for that jean grae interview, but, dayum, MS Paint is right.
I love the outdated rawkus-era genre distinctions too--"backpacker," "conscious," and the arbitrary lines drawn between "dirty south" and "atlanta," and "west coast" and "gangsta."
I can't stop wrapping!

History, n.:
Papa Hegel he say that all we learn from history is that we
learn nothing from history. I know people who can't even learn from
what happened this morning. Hegel must have been taking the long
view.
