DON'T TRIP AND SEND THINGS TO BOTH ADDRESSES.
That's a bad start and I'm known for my "unreasonable" crankiness.

A Special Note from Clyde Smith, ProHipHop's Owner, Author & Operator:
Since I don't have a photo on here, let me just clarify that I'm a 48 year old, white man.
Boggles the mind, don't it?
Though I'm now focused on hip hop marketing, my broad ranging approach to the topic remains the same as described below. Please see the following post for info on the 2006 relaunch:
ProHipHop Relaunches Focused on Hip Hop Marketing
ProHipHop is a hip hop trade blog focused on business news and analysis across industry categories with related cultural coverage because one can't understand the business without understanding the culture.
Clyde Smith authors ProHipHop with an awareness of the wide-ranging activities undertaken by hip hop artists and business people. Topics include rap music, the music industry, film, television, fashion and publishing as well as editorial perspectives on major issues in hip hop.
Clyde was interviewed about ProHipHop by ThugLifeArmy in Mar. '05. For more about Clyde Smith, PhD check out Cultural Research: Clyde Smith. For more about Clyde Smith, Information Activist, check out netweed: About.
ProHipHop (www.prohiphop.com) launches as the first hip hop business news blog tracking developments across industry sectors. Hip hop business involves a wide range of products and markets that go far beyond urban music and fashions. Clyde Smith gathers hip hop related business news from such industries and subsectors as music, movies, apparel, mobile content, automotive, publishing, jewelry and beverages and publishes them in ProHipHop, a hip hop trade blog.
Before ProHipHop, hip hop business news was scattered across sources ranging from consumer to industry-oriented websites and publications. ProHipHop offers daily business news with commentary that is available in weblog form or via an xml newsfeed for Atom and RSS newsreaders and mobile devices. ProHipHop is also planning an email newsletter edition.
Clyde Smith writes ProHipHop drawing on a rich background in the performing arts (The Lost Colony, High Risk Group), academic research (Ph.D. in Cultural Studies from Ohio State) and freelance writing (Hip Hop Logic, New Age Retailer). Clyde is also the owner and editor of netweed.
ProHipHop is the first offsite project incubated by netweed (www.netweed.com),
the alternative news and culture center. netweed provides basic funding and
services for ProHipHop as well as related information resources such as:
Hip Hop Albums (www.netweed.com/hiphop/albums)
Hip Hop Movies (www.netweed.com/hiphop/movies)
Hip Hop News (www.netweed.com/hiphopnews).
