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.

Interview with Pro Hip Hop Guru

2007-07-30T04:14:00.000-07:00

Coming later this week will be a recent interview we did with Clyde Smith of ProHipHop.com, who writes one of the most popular Hip Hop blogs on the web. He specializes in the marketing aspect of the rap industry.

In the full interview, we discussed why the Hip Hop industry has turned its back on the Bay Area Rap scene and what the future may hold. Here are a few parts of that interview...

BAHM: In the many blog posts you have made over the years, do any standout for drawing a reaction that generated a lot of buzz for ProHipHop.com?
CS: The first piece that really caught attention was one of the very few interviews I've conducted for ProHipHop. It was an interview with Tahir called The Revolutionary Heart of the Dirty South on the topic of Hood Economics: http://www.prohiphop.com/hoodec.html

Though I wish my more serious posts were always the ones that get attention, I think the post about AJ and Free leaving 106 & Park has been my biggest in terms of traffic to date

BAHM: How would you define the Hyphy Movement?
CS: No way am I defining the Hyphy Movement. I'm going to cop out and say I know it when I see or hear it which tells me that one could come up with a definition but defining a movement is a lot harder to do well than most people realize. When all is said and done, it's the artists and fans that define it and writers like myself just try to figure out what they've come up with.

Thizz + Hyphy
