It's HipHop Weekend 2006!
Isn't the internet great? I'm sitting here on my bed in a Cyprus hotel, preparing to play at Club Bling in Nicosia tonight while listening to the kick off of this year's HipHop Weekend and writing this all on my laptop all courtesy of wireless internet technology!!
For those new to 1Xtra, HipHop Weekend is an annual celebration of everything HipHop. The station dedicates an entire weekend's worth of airtime (60 hours to be exact) to celebrate the music and lifestyle that has influenced everything in popular culture since it's conception in the late seventies.
Check out the minisite here and remember that you can listen again to anything you miss up until next week.
I personally think it's a big look for a major radio station to dedicate 60 hours to HipHop, especially at the moment when things seem to be exciting again. What do you think? Have we hit the nail on the head this year or what have we missed? What are you going to be listening to and what are you going to be avoiding?
