Produce Content for AllHipHop TODAY!
Do you consider yourself hip hop savvy, great at sparking debate, a director in the making or dope with photoshop skills?
AllHipHop is offering you the opportunity to showcase your talents.
No experience necessary. You talk directly to AHH staff who will give feedback and hopefully publish your idea.
Your work could be seen by millions of people. We need lists, photoshops, infographics and videos. Take your pick.
Here’s How:
1. Join the AHH Community
2. Read & Reply to the thread “PRODUCE CONTENT FOR ALLHIPHOP”
The only thing we require is that you’re passionate, creative, and respectful of the other writers. It takes zero effort to join.
LISTS
Do you think you have what it takes to write list-style feature articles like Wake Up!: The Top Five Rappers That Too Many People Are Sleeping On!? Do you love to spark debate and defend your picks to the end?
Once you get approved, you’ll gain access to the private forum to pitch list topics and get feedback from other writer and editors. Lists don’t only have to focus on “The greatest rapper alive” but think of inventive, random and witty lists i.e. “Five Reason Lil Wayne is Really a Martian” or “Top 10 Overused Lyrics”
INFOGRAPHICS
If you have an idea for an infographic, you don’t have to make the whole thing yet. You can just write up a description and post that, if you want to get an idea of whether it works before you spend all day in Photoshop.
You can just describe what it’ll look like and what your points/jokes will be. If we like it we can have you go ahead and make the graph.
The more creative the better.
Example: Game’s “The R.E.D. Album” Name-Drops By The Numbers
Check out the infographic thread for topics.
Photo Shopped Funnies
If you simply want to manipulate photos in some humorous way with Photoshop (or whatever software you use). AllHipHop will be launching “Photo Shop Funnies” where we give you a premise and you try to make the funniest image possible based on it. You win, you get paid.
VIDEO
If you and your friends made a high-quality funny video (please, no random vlogs or videos of you spitting a hot 16 into the camera), post a link in the video thread.
And that’s it.

Hip-Hop Rumors: SPACE GHOST PURP Arrested In Fight With A$AP Rocky Crew!
Whoooooaaaa!!! Now, the word on the street is that this is a real life beef. Now, you know these dudes don’t like each other at all, but guns bussin? Wow. Anyway, the word out there – actually all over the net – is that Space Ghost Purp was arrested in a fracas that involved members of A$SP Rocky’s Crew. I don’t think A$AP was involved at all. Nevertheless, the streets say this is about to get serious faster than the Flash if somebody doesn’t step in to quell the beef. Anyway, yeah…that’s cray! Meanwhile A$AP has wrapped up his album and this is further promotion.
But my sources tell me that Space Ghost may have just been apprehended and not formally charged with anything. Stay tuned!
Here is the pic of him getting knocked by the cops:
Man, these cats need the real Space Ghost to step in.

MC Hammer Lands Gig As Oakland’s Official Tourism Spokesman
(AllHipHop News) MC Hammer will support his hometown of Oakland, California, by acting as the city’s official tourism spokesman.
The rapper is part of a new marketing campaign titled “Oakland. To Know it is To Love It,” which features the rapper espousing the positive changes that have occurred in Oakland over the past 25-years.
“My admiration, love and understanding of what the culture of Oakland is, is from experience,” MC Hammer said. “I’ve been here 50 years. Our city is one of the greatest cities to ever rise up and stand up.”
MC Hammer is a native of East Oakland. He received his “MC Hammer” moniker while acting as a bat boy for the Oakland Athletics as an 11-year-old.
Later in his career, former Oakland A’s players Mike Davis and Dwayne Murphy invested $20,000 each into Hammer’s rap label, Bust It Productions, which released his break-through album Feel My Power.
On the campaign’s official website, MC Hammer offers up six different areas for tourists to experience Oakland, including its unique neighborhoods, the city’s theaters, Lake Merritt, Jack London Square, the company’s sports teams and the digital community in the city.
“If you meet people from Oakland, there’s some of the warmest people, they carry hope, they inspire, they create,” Hammer explained. “Oakland is a hub of creativity. We are we are, we’re political, we’re artsy, we’re musicians.”

5 & Done: Eternal Swyft
Los Angeles Based based rapper Eternal Swyft is one of the most determined and inspired emcees among the new school Hip Hop generation. Riding off the momentum of his singles “The American Dream,” “Here To Stay,” and “My Pride,” Eternal Swyft is making a huge impact in the independent music world and beyond. The music video for “The American Dream” has received over 50,000 views since being released online and it’s currently being played on the German TV station iMusic1.
Background: Originally from the Lynwood section of Los Angeles then to the San Fernando Valley. Started writing poetry as a kid, then it turned into rapping when I was in high school now Swyft holds a Master’s degree in Sports Management. Now music is his passion.
AllHipHop.com: What is the significance of your name?
E-Swyft:The significance of my name Eternal Swyft is about being remembered forever. I’ve always wanted to leave a positive and everlasting impression on the world and music is my avenue to do that. So that’s where “Eternal” comes from. My father instilled in me a very hard and tireless work ethic in any and everything that I do. So “Swyft” comes from always moving, always working and always attacking. I added a Y instead on I just to switch it up a little, but overall Eternal Swyft means “working hard to live forever.”
AllHipHop.com: Who would you say is your target market?
E-Swyft: My target market are Hip Hop fans ages 20 and up. I say that because college students and mature audiences relate to my music the best. Within that, classic Hip Hop fans that loved the “Golden Age” in the 90’s and early 2000’s, Conscious Hip Hop fans and of course mainstream fans are whom I’m targeting. I truly feel that I can fit in with the Lupe Fiasco-Jay Electronica-Common crowds and still fit right in with the Jay-Z-Kanye West-J-Cole-Kendrick Lamar crowds seamlessly. People who want more thought provoking, storytelling and poetic music will absolutely love Eternal Swyft.
AllHipHop.com: What is your USP? (Unique Selling Proposition) and what sets you apart from other Hip Hop artists?
E-Swyft: My USP is that “I make music that you can relate to and escape to.” I combine a raspy voice with unique intellectual/thought provoking lyricism, creative song concepts and storytelling skills to make excellent Hip Hop music by painting pictures with words that you see when you listen to me. I’m very unique and I stand apart from other Hip Hop artists due to my sound and style. When you hear my voice on a song, you know it’s me. When you listen to what I’m saying, you hear that I’m saying it in a different manner yet you’re still getting the message of the verse and song. I’m also unique since me being from Los Angeles, I don’t fit the stereotypical “Thug-Gangsta-Drug Dealer” image of a West coast artist.
AllHipHop.com: What single or project are you currently pushing?
E-Swyft: I released my first project entitled “Plan B” on July 24th and it’s received excellent reviews from music writers, sites and blogs. It has received 10,000 downloads on DatPiff and about 30,000 listens. My main single is called “The American Dream” and I was told the powerful video was played on MTV Jams a few weeks ago. It has over 50,000 views and it was played on German television station iMusic1 a few months ago. My next singles will be “My Pride”, plus “Here To Stay” and “Never Enough.”
AllHipHop.com: What is your opinion of the current state of the music industry?
E-Swyft: The industry, to me, is in an odd state at the moment. The focus has gotten too far away from quality music. Originality also seems to be getting scarce too. The thing is though, it’s all a direct result of evolution. The times have changed, people have changed, so of course Hip Hop and the music industry has evolved over time to reflect the current general state of mind of the public.

Non Hip-Hop Rumors: Mitt Romney Is Devastated Over Loss
Damn. This kind of sheds a different light on Mittens. Make no mistake about it, dude was a colossal D#####. (For the record, I reserve “d#####” for the most vile and villainous of people.) But, the fact is it was Mitt’s life’s dream to be president. He’s tried time and time again. And he failed. Straight up failed. And this ain’t a failure like us. There is no retaking this test. All the money he’s amassed will not let him get in that White House.
So, the word out there is that Mitt is all mentally f*cked up over the loss. He’s in a perpetual state of shock, they say. They are saying that Mitt and Crew were never ready to lose. That’s why dude had me up all night waiting for him to admit defeat. But, yeah…Mitt is devastated. I don’t think all those pictures helped.
They freakin cancelled their staffs credit cards before they woke up in the morn! FOUL! M###’s went to Denny’s and got declined after they worked that hard for Mittens Romney! Damn, son!
Last laugh, h0es!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Loyalty Over Logic? Swizz Beatz Says He Would Put His “Money” On A Cassidy Vs. Meek Mill Battle
This Meek Mill vs. Cassidy rap battle rumor just will not die, will it? Now, Cassidy’s ex label head, the renaissance man Swizz Beatz, has voiced his opinion on who would win the battle if these two were to ever go head-to-head in a rap battle. The producer/artist/ philanthropist was a guest on MTV’s “RapFix Live” show with Sway yesterday and said that he would put his money on Cassidy to win.
RELATED: Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Meek Mill Going To Battle Cassidy On Pay-Per-View?
“I’d put my money Cass just because I’m a loyal person,” Swizzy said when asked who he felt had a better shot at winning in a rap battle. “Cass is somebody that I groomed, put a lot of time into, just off of [general purpose] and loyalty, I’d put my money on Cassidy. 100 percent.”
Way to stay loyal, Swizzy! The people really want to see this happen, and I hope that Meek Mill has a change of heart soon and steps back into the rap battle scene with Philly rapper Cassidy. That would be one hell of a show.

Exclusive Video: Jon Connor’s Top 5 Producers Who Rap “At The Same Damn Time!”
Being a good producer as well as an artist “at the same damn time” is a line that very few in the music industry have been able to balance.
Clearly, you have your super human specimens like Kanye West and Dr. Dre who seem to do it flawlessly, but then you have others who just can’t seem to find success when they try to step into the other lane.
Breeding Ground alumni and fellow rapper/producer Jon Connor knows all too well about the challenges that face a multi-tasker in the studio.
AllHipHop.com sat down with the Flint, Michigan representer to find out his “Top 5 Rapper/Producers – Dead or Alive.” Take it from us, this kid has done his homework and breaks down his Top 5 like a true Hip-Hop scholar. Check the exclusive video below:
Jon Connor is currently on tour with rapper Xzibit. Download his latest mixtape, The People’s Rapper, LP as well as his whole catalog of mixtapes here.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Will Rick Ross Sign The Game?
The Game has been on Interscope Records since the beginning of his career, but there’s a change coming down the line. This isn’t exactly new news, but we’re now hearing that The Game is looking for another place to release his albums. And, that place may well be with Rick Ross’ MMG! What do you think of that? I’m not sure. Once upon a time, The Game had Black Wall Street, which really was the first movement to successfully defend itself from 50 Cent’s carnage. But, now The Game is looking to get down with RR? A year or so ago it was Baby and Cash Money. Either way, I think Game needs a winning team so that he can just be a dope MC.
The Game’s Jesus Piece comes out Nov. 11.
Daily Word: Kill the Camera!! (Actions Speak Louder)
Happy Friday, my positive creatures of confidence!
Welcome to the day you allow your work to speak for itself, and continue to stay busy doing what you need to do to get where you need to go! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to Killing The Camera!
Whether we admit it or not, we all live in a Facebook and Instagram society! What started out as an honest way to share pictures with friends and family has now become a contest of bragging and boasting! We take pictures of everything under the sun, in hopes that we get the most likes and comments or to become the most talked about! Somewhere during this process, we stopped really doing, and instead became very good at stretching the truth. Our actions weren’t necessarily a lie, but they were carefully crafted to make us seem like something we are not!
KILL THE CAMERA!! Your actions will ALWAYS speak louder than your words and even your pictures! Do not get into the habit of doing things just for attention, and begin doing what will REALLY help you achieve your goals! It’s one thing to be confident about your accomplishments, but it’s a totally different thing to stretch them just for recognition! When you are really doing something worthwhile, the recognition will come on its own! Get busy working towards your dreams! As @50Cent once said, you have a lot of living to do before you die, and you don’t have time to waste!!
