The Hip-Hop FANDOM Project

Welcome to The Hip-Hop FANDOM Project!Our mission is to create fan-driven and informative communities for Hip-Hop pioneers and creators.The internet is a leading tool that helps dictate popular culture and keeps fans up-to-date. While the internet isn't forever, we will use FANDOM to gather similar passionate people to show our appreciation and help fellow fans keep up-to-date on their favorite artists.Hip Hop is more than just music; it's a culture and a lifestyle. It reflects the current moment and gives a voice to the disenfranchised. We want to document the history in the making.Currently, the FANDOM website lacks rap content, much less Black-created art/media. Representation is crucial and feeds into structural, systemic and social issues of whose voices get heard or sidelined. Whose narratives are stereotyped and silenced or, alternatively, empowered and push beyond identity markers/barriers.We also want to search for any alternative free, wiki-hosting services, preferably created and run by POC. The current FANDOM interface is strict on what content is hosted (including censorship and no lyrics).
