Honestly, if you are into hip hop and you don't go here, well, then you probably aren't that into modern hip hop. A great source of news, new music, new artists, music videos, and pretty much everything to do with new hip hop. The search function is strong, so even if you don't care about most new hip hop, just throw "a tribe called quest" or whatever into that to see what's up. Really, this is the new Source magazine, BET, and your local rap radio station rolled into one. The effect of blogs on hip hop has been enormous. Nahright is the best hip hop blog out there.
