Get a headrush

The Hip-Hop Headrush, that is. This old-school-type site has an unusual purpose: they've been "covering Hip-Hop culture from a South African perspective since 1995." Updated frequently, HHH stresses hip-hop's global--and transcendental--cultural influence. Check out the background page, which will take you back to the HHH's birth in the form of a college radio show in Grahamstown, South Africa. The webmaster has even included lists of all the tracks played on different shows so you can see where HHH was coming from in the early days. Probably the most interesting part of the site is the Flipside section, where you'll find archived articles like "Life in a Hip-Hop Ghetto," "Hon, you're playing yourself," "Keep it Green," and much more. If you're into contmeplating the "issues" side of hip-hop, don't delay--headrush today.
