Introduction to hiphopslam.com
by Billy Jam
Welcome to the HipHopSlam website which is the collective efforts
of myself and such hard working muthafuckas as Geoff Rantala and
Dan Kay from Dawg Eat Dawg Designz (all online graphics, layout,
designs, and twomp sacks), Frank Casiano II (content provider
& editor), Frank Calistoga III (chief supplier of mineral
water, energy drinks, & hashish), Vladimir Jam (my cool Russian
cousin who worked long hours on our Soviet Sister Site www.hiphopslam.narod.ru
(RIP), which he painstakingly translated into Russian for the
swelling numbers of Russian rap fans. Word up V!
As with everything else we do at Hip Hop Slam, this website is
totally independent with absolutely no outside financial or editorial
influence. Hence the "Don't Give A Fuck Style Website"
logo... although, truthfully, we do care and we don't curse much.
But we insist on the freedom to be able to curse. We hate censorshit!
Which brings us to the unavoidable topical and tragic subject
of the events of September 11th. Undoubtedly they will result,
to some degree, in the loss of many of our civil rights and liberties.
In the name of "defending America against terrorism"
we can expect to be subjected to all kinds of searches and privacy
infringements and, no doubt, censorship of any content deemed
"anti-American." But if history does repeat itself this
new world order will also spark a whole renaissance of revolutionary
underground art, including, of course, lots of great hip hop!
Back to the website... it is pretty straight forward with several
different sections that, over time, will grow and expand in ways,
like adding video and sound clips. Right now you can check out
information on all of the Hip Hop Slam label
releases (25 in three years) in chronological order, or you
can check out the staff bios including
each person's hip hop top five lists. "The
Gallery" is divided into a mix of pictures
(new and old) and "flyers
& stickers" from past Hip Hop Slam radio shows and
concerts. Under "Scratch Attack"
you will find information about our monthly radio show with playlists
and charts, while "Pirate Fuckin'
Radio" is a story/overview of the micro-broadcasting
movement. "Articles"
includes stories and interviews by Frank, myself, and Yve-One,
who wrote both the invaluable "How
to Manufacture Your Own CD, Record or VHS" Guide and
compiled the Bay Area DJ List.
"Links" is a list of some of
our recommended websites, while "Hip
Hop Slam News" keeps you up to date on HHS related artists
and happenings. Also, our Shop is
now open for business... buy all Hip
Hop Slam releases straight from the source!
We thank you for checking us out and we really hope you find
this website of some interest. We welcome your feedback... unless
you're some geeky little shithead hiding behind a tough alias,
in which case we have the technology to know where you live and
we will come to your house and beat you like the beyaaatch you
are. So watch it, chisel chest!
peace: Billy Jam
