u know Lazy.. now that u mention it... Phiba Optik did mention that they will be retailing music... strictly hiphop...

so i guess this is my chance to get my beats out there... and maybe one or two mixtapes as well...

So if this boombap is not a community, how will it attract and maintain a user database?

Who will it´s elements of interactivity as a website be directed toward?

How can you develop a hip hop website that will not seek to foster a spirit of community in cyberspace?

Can somebody please shed some light on what boombap is, was or will be, because i hear Lazy say it will NOT be a community but a record store and Milkdaddy says we need websites like it.

Since there is only a front page so far, someone please share with me what this is going to be about?

let´s see...

latest hiphop ringtones... fo yo´ cellies
hiphop logos.. fo yo cellies...
screensavers and wallpapers.. fo yo cellies...
downloadable MP3 soundbytes of albums we will sell...
retail of serious underground hiphop from across the globe...
local artist biographies and lyrics...
a forum kinda like this one - but we´re writing the code ourselves...
(where we will delete sh*t posts if we think it´s sh*t)
a picture gallery - your fave artists...
feeds from hiphop sites and places on the globe  some u never heard of..

etcetera.... etcetera.... etcetera.... etcetera....

and when i say HIPHOP i don´t mean it like the guy who called milkdaddy and asked if he listens to Puff Daddy... i´m talking that down on the floor sh*t... that raw sh*t.. that real hardcore sh*t..

So what´s unique about this boombap?

Most American sites are doing this anyway. Steve Rifkind got wooed by Zingy to do exactly what you say.

Feels kind of like Blaze Magazine. Nothing but a whole lot of hype.

how can it be proudly souf efrikan if ya´ll selling hip hop from across the globe?

and just so you know, being proudly south africa is stupid.  you make it sound as if we are supposed to be exclusve, there are many other countries out there,
don´t you know we supposed to be a global commnity.

and someone in dis place don´t know muts about Proudly SA.
det ees a projekt det promote Souf Efrikan biznisses woo hav dee ability to trade globally.
Mark Shuttlewoth´s venture kepital comany (www.hbd.com) will not fund any biznis unless dey can develop a produkt or sirvice det can compete on a global scayle.

and for your informayshun:
hav a look at de appliances in your mudder´s house. how many are manooffektured in anudder c***ry? semsung tv, bmw cars, telefunken stereo, sony playstayshun. dees peeple pride demselves in serving dere c***ries by supplying the whole world wit dere produkts and sirvices.

In 1997 - in a Stoodin Life Megezeen intirview - Shaheen from PeeOhCee said det HIEP HOP ees "efrikin kulchure blended wit Jepenees teknologhee"

iet´s about time Efrika give de world more den just kulchure.
