The Biographical Dictionary of Rap.
I’ve had this idea for awhile, but finally acted on it. Basically, film critic David Thomson has this really great book called ‘The New Biographical Dictionary of Film’. The book is informative but also highly personal and opinionated. It’s a purposefully non-comprehensive encyclopedia. Anyways, I wanted to start one about rap but rather than do it by myself, I’d like to see if any of my fellow bloggers/writers want to contribute. There’s so much goofy blogger beef, etc. (that I admittedly involve myself in as well) that one more thing that could maybe bring people together, seems like a good idea.
I posted an entry on Beanie Sigel a few minutes ago.
The only rule is that it should make some attempt at being about the career of a rapper, producer, person relevant to rap and follow the format of mine (which is just stolen from Thomson). So yeah…The Biographical Dictionary of Rap.
In an unrelated note…I’m using an outdated version of blogger for this blog and recently, it stopped automatically titling my blogs by the first few words of an entry. I should know it but I don’t-what’s the HTML or whatever that I should begin my entries with so that they have a title? Also, does anyone know why my RSS feed no longer shows anything? My guess is it has something to do with the title problems, but who knows…-brandon
