WSHH Best Of World Star Hip Hop

Adriana Lima’s Comeback Video

WSHH Adriana LimaFrom Will.I.Am’s website. Brazilian Super Model, Adriana Lima, is getting back in shape after her pregnancy to return as one of the hottest Victoria Secret Models ever. The song in the video is by world famous house DJ, Benny Benassi. In the video Adriana Lima does a boxing workout in the ring with her trainer and shows that she hasn’t lost a step after her pregnancy. While this is not hip hop related we felt that it deserved to be in our WSHH Daily because of her sheer beauty. Props Adriana for losing the baby weight.

WSHH Daily

Yo we know everybody likes WSHH (better known as World Star Hip Hop) but to be completely honest we don’t like everything on WSHH. There are a lot of news clips, irrelevant/non hip hop videos, behind the scenes footage for videos that no one likes, etc. That’s why Bad Habitat and Surreal Music are bringing you the Best of WSHH daily. Don’t bother sorting through the multitude of videos on WSHH wasting your time watching videos you don’t like. Check out our blog post category “WSHH Daily”, coming soon to the top level navigation, for Posts containing the best of WSHH every day. Featured in today’s post is a super hot video from Will.I.Am’s website of Adriana Lima’s “Comeback”, a video of the Brazilian Super Model shaping up after her recent pregnancy. Another one of the featured WSHH Videos today is a new video from West Coast Rapper and member of the Dogg Pound, Kurupt. The song, “Questions” includes a slew of questions that the emcee gets bombarded with from fans and the media on a daily basis. You can here the frustration coming out in his voice in this song. Finally the last WSHH Video that we have for you today is from Yukmouth titled “Grittin”. Its another raw track from the dude that practically invented raw tracks. Thanks to WSHH for making these video available to the public.

24 Hour Hip Hop

img class=”aligncenter size-full wp-image-1806″ title=”24-hour-hip-hop” src=”http://www.badhabitatmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/24-hour-hip-hop.jpg” alt=”24 Hour Hip Hop” width=”262″ height=”176″ />

24 Hour Hip Hop

All Hip Hop All The Time

All Hip Hop Music Videos & Music, Interviews, News, Reviews & Models

24 Hour Hip Hop is a great hip hop culture website. They have interviews with such hip-hop hotties as seen below as well as all kinds of emcees, deejays, break dancers, graffiti artists and more. The hip hop website features a wide variety of videos, interviews, album reviews, hip hop fashion reviews, and a ton more.

24 Hour Hip Hop

24 Hour Hip Hop covers much more mainstream hip hop compared to some of my favorite hip hop websites. That being said it is probably the best of the mainstream sites. There is a good balance of hip hop babes, music news, album reviews and all that. One thing that separates 24 Hour Hip Hop from some of the other mainstream hip hop websites is the fact that they cover a lot of New York Rappers, and give some special attention to the Latin Community. Most other hip hop culture websites are over saturated with southern rap. 24 Hour Hip Hop stands out in that regard. Other than that it is your typical mainstream hip hop news feed with up to date music news about gossip, concerts, beef, etc. The Name, 24 Hour Hip Hop, is appropriate considering the nature of the website and the constant feed of information every 24 hours. Other considerable Hip Hop Culture Websites that I would like to mention are listed below:

YORAPS
Clutch Magazine
Global Grind

Underground HipHop News

Underground HipHop News

link between underground hip hop and other genres

This isn’t general or absolute, just an observation. I’ve noticed that most people who are fans of underground tend to have deep taste in other genres. What do you think the link is? Is it the different samples used in underground or what? People with diverse taste in music tend to be better at explaining themselves on hip hop issues?

HipHop Culture

Hip Hop Culture Essay

This is a very interesting point of view. There could be an endless debate about “What is true Hip Hop?” or “New School v. Old School”, but the debate is possible, only because there are good arguments for all sides! Here is a good, well thought out perspective.

The underground hip-hop scene has emerged as a circuit where young, talented and intelligent emcees can thrive. Their message is less abrasive and violent. While not all underground artists are choir boys, they are not barking over mics …

Born and raised in New York City, Haze has been making his impact felt in the worlds of art, product and graphic design for over 30 years. After spending the 70’s and early 80’s on the front lines of the graffiti movement, Haze opened his design studio in 1986 becoming one of the first visual artists to define the look and graphic language of Hip Hop during it’s golden years. Some of his most classic works include designs for Public Enemy, EPMD, LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys.

Over the last 10 years, Haze Studios has also produced a diverse range of client work and collaboration with industry leaders such as Nike, Casio, Honda and Apple.

What is Facebook HipHop?

Facebook’s HipHop

facebook hip-hopThe influence that Facebook is having on the enterprise now goes beyond making the corporate world a more Web-oriented place – its impact now goes deep into the code.

Facebook announced this week that it has rewritten the PHP runtime, translating it to C++ (a more machine-readable language) which is then compiled with g++. This is no small feat. Facebook engineer Haiping Zhao said that the rewrite significantly reduced the CPU usage on its Web servers by an average of about 50% depending on the page

The impact of this development on the enterprise will depend on a few factors:

  • What kind of community develops around HipHop.
  • How willing enterprise developers will be to embrace HipHop.
  • How the improved run time will actually benefit enterprise operations.

Southern Rap in Houston, Atlanta & Memphis Has Risen

Southern Rap in Houston, Atlanta & Memphis Has Risen
by: Rodney Henry

It was born in New York, then it began to travel across the country to hit California with groups like N.W.A. taking it and making it their own; what we are talking about is hip-hop. It started as just a past time event that young African-American took part in, in the streets of New York. After a couple of years, it began
