An Interview With a Hip Hop Industry Guru If the Media Portrayed Hip Hop As Well as Clyde Smith does, the already booming rap industry would double overnight in fan interest alone.
As the owner of ProHipHop.com, a detailed blog focusing on Hip Hop marketing, Smith has been providing his own unique views and insights of the industry since 2004.
His insight into the world of Hip Hop marketing has allowed ProHipHop.com to establish itself as one of the premier Hip Hop blogs for timely news and information on the industry. It is also a must read for emerging rap artists looking to market themselves.
Like an encyclopedia for all things Hip Hop related, ProHipHop.com serves as an excellent resource with over three years of daily news coverage at your fingertips. However, this reference blog also has some bite. Smith is not afraid to point out flaws and inaccuracies in the media's interpretation of Hip Hop news. Armed with a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies from Ohio State, Smith provides a more realistic and accurate point of view of the Hip Hop culture and is not shy when it comes to setting the record straight.
The Bay Area Hyphy Movement recently interviewed Clyde Smith and discussed whether the industry has turned a cold shoulder to Bay Area rap, the effect the internet has had in discovering new artists and of course, the future of Hip Hop.
