Hip Hop.net

Heres a quick run down of some of the top Hip-Hop websites that are up on the net, in no particular order. Some you know, others you should get to know. More to come soon.

Nah Right
Fam-Lay, Keith Murray, Talib Kweli, N.O.R.E. freestyles and more are currently on the main blog page.

AllHipHop.com
One of the landmark Hip-Hop sites out there, partially thanks to illseed and his hip-hop quotable Rumor page. The news section is always quick with the latest headlines and they bless you with some music and videos for good measure. Oh yeah, the foroum pages get hectic too.

Hip-Hop Game.com
This is where you go to listen to all the new songs, period. The streaming player holds down the audio, so you are free to listen to tons of mixtapes cuts, new tracks, and radio spots from everyone in the game. The interviews, blog post and journal entries are a nice touch, with enties by Skyzoo, Killer Priest, 9th Wonder, Strong Arm Steady, DJ Babu and tons more.

XXLMag.com
The well known magazine has an impressive web presence, with articles and behind the scene photos of cover shoots, exclusive music and videos, and a news section that should be added to your Google reader.
Current highlights at the site include the Lil Wayne and Baby cover shoot, coverage on their 1998 Man of the Year award winner, Master P. Byron Crawford is alway on point with his Saturday Night Workout, another extension to his blog empire. The video section has Jay-Z exposed, Nas, Ice Water feat. Raekwon, and Chammillionaire's AOL freestyles. The Eye Candy section is top notch as well with appearances by Flavor Of Love's Deelishis and Hoopz.

IAMHIPHOP.com
This site is a newer player in the online Hip-Hop game. With it's recent affiliation to the Rock The Bells tour, and their upcoming site site launch, IAHH looks to be very intense website. The site will feature user profiles similar to MySpace of Facebook where you can upload your content and network with other users. The video section promises to be deep with exclusives from major artist as well as underground emcees and DJs, breakers and graf heads. Keep your eye out for IAMHIPHOP.com!
