I think I qualify as an O.G. in this hip-hop blogging thing since I’ve been covering hip-hop on and off since October 2001. Back when I first started blogging it was just me and hip hop anonymous. Times have changed, now the record industry can not deny the influence of hip-hop blogs.
Hip-Hop blogs in 2008 have such great influence that other sites react to them. Here is a video of Kidz in the Hall responding to a poll featured on unkut.com
In the poll Kidz In The Hall were one of eight choices for Who Is The Biggest Hipster Rap Douchebag at unkut.com
Kidz In The Hall should be happy, they came in last place in the poll.
To defend themselves Kidz In The Hall holdup a silk screened t-shirt of Obama. The interview seemed perplexed about how pointing out that a pastel colored t-shirt defends them from the accusations. They also claim they are the first artist to put out a pro-Obama song which may or may not be true.
