Music, bling bling, cars, movies, tv shows and etc, Hip Hop has influenced and remixed all of these key industries and has taken them to new heights. However, one believes that the Hip Hop culture has yet to remix technology. But wait! You are probably saying to yourself right now, what about the iPod and the Sidekick? Well, those are perfect examples of Hip Hop influences from an end-user experience but not from a "creator experience". There is not if at "all" any Hip Hop influence from the creator side of the field. Your Myspaces, Facebooks, and LinkedIns are developed and ran without any type of Hip Hop jazz in mind, if I am wrong, please, my readers, let me know! This leaves an undeniable question on our plates.
What would the internet be if the Hip Hop community "really" remixed the internet like it has with music and sports? Would the world be ready? Would the world appreciate the innovation and creativity? I tend to believe.... YES! Why not? The Hip Hop community is arguably the most dominant culture currently in the world. Countries in Asian, Africa, and South America are riding the Hip Hop wave. I believe the internet will not achieve its "true" potential until we start seeing more heavy involved Hip Hop community from the creator side of the tech industry. To be continued...
