Bad Design in Hip-hop
I just read a well written review of "Non-Stop Hip Hop: The Videos" and was struck by this line:
"First off, the packaging is laughable, if not offensive: With its pseudo-graffiti proclamation, "The Hottest Jamz Eva!", and bandana-and -Mike-Vick-jersey-clad G-Thang on the cover, it plays into the most basic hip-hop stereotypes"I always considered bad design of hip-hop products by people who don't understand our culture to be silly and laughable. But offensive? No. Though maybe I should.
That's why I'm making sure my new blog looks good.
And props to Tonedeff for producing great examples of good web design.

Using frames is NOT good web design... they are the devil's spawn - and having background music switched on without you asking is also not good...
