New Zealand Hip-Hop website

Hey people,

I'm thinking of making a nz hip hop website. like have big forums like this, lyrics, news. I was wonderin how many people would sorta go there and if you got any suggestions you wanna give me for a NZ hip hop site.

Forums: NZ Music,

Maybe you could save yourself some development time and just pay nzhiphop's bills for them.

lol! how appropriate

How about no time wasted, im already bored... ur website is suspended....

Exactly... that's what she means... they've already got a site but it got suspended cuz no one payed for it to stay there :p

I'm not a hip hop fan... but I reckon if you keep it simple, Attractive and useful then ppl will come... how do you expect to go about making this site exactly? like a Bulletin board? and if so then what software are u using?

tru, didnt read it probley, need a new comp screen... E-mail me at snowie_gen@hotmail.com and mayb i can work somethin out 4 u

I don't think that's her website

Hmm, ill have to look for some good software, or get a mate to code one for me...

Everything you were asking for except for the lyrics.

Ahaha! Someone else hasn't been paying attention.

Whoops, that would be me. Dang, I didn't realise there were two sites.

lol!

..well actually, I guess there's only one, really... Go home, Heather.

Well... I was thinking of putting a lyrics section, and people can just add them if they want.

What you could do is take some decent photographs of these NZ Hiphoppers and put them up on your website. Some of the photo galleries at hiphopnz are a complete waste of server space. Nice, beautiful, moody and interesting photos should make your brand new site quite popular. Then of course you can have your beloved lyrics section as well.

Something for you to think about.

Being able to submit lyrics would definitely be advantageous. That way we'd no longer have to listen to Mareko tell us over and over again that he's here to stay, or worse, recite the Fire Safety mantra. If we're especially fortunate, Scribe may happen along occasionally too, seeking something a little more inspired than 'How many dudes you know roll like this?!'

Click on this link and scroll down a bit. They haven't given a person's name, but there's a phone number to call in Auckland.

Thanks for that link jet. It's really come in handy. I now know where Lucifer-Sam lives, and proceed with my plans to ....... nevermind ...

And here I was thinking Lucifer-Sam was actually called Sam.
But no matter.
I now know to call him Chris.

Tinty it is a rather good idea and i think you should go ahead with it......though how are you going to cope with paying the accounts and remeber coding acn be done very well

sorry typing was a bit fucked...:P

Tinty......i think ur kinda like a rat goin into the nz hip hop underground, and to make ur website really good you mite have to download the mainframe and do intensive updates and not just make a silly website. Sometimes youve got to be more than a rat

There's also a Yahoo group for NZ hip-hop. Do a search on "aotearoa" and you'll find it.

dont you think theres enough NZ HIp Hop sites already? i like this website coz u can listen to the battles and download un screened battles. its got famouse hip hop artists like decepticons and scribe pmoney mareko ect and up and coming artists like CON PSY look out for this cat hes coming to our tvs really soom also check out KAOTIC he's 1 to watch for. this site has everything your thinking of so if you want ideas its got photos news audios ect heres da site if you havnt already checked it out......... www.decayed.co.nz get some ideas from that site its not perfect but you can use their ideas and add to it

www.hiphopnz.com is www.decayed.co.nz but maybe for not much longer. HipHopnz is moving the forums away from the decayed server. Its a great hiphop site but it lacks any decent photos. Half the photos there are of drunkard ho-bags trying their best to look even more like a slut. Sometimes looking through the galleries you can't help that the photographer is either

A: A pervert
or
B: Wasted just like everyone else at the gig.

I'm sure -Tinty- could do better.

yeah i reckon stupid pics of da drunken artists like scribe and those pics are ugly coz hes sweating hard out he looks stupid

lol....Yeah i fink dat da hiphopnz.com aint all that.yeah they got all tha downloads and shit ...But i doesnt dat much shit about the artist....Fuck its taking me a while to fucking look for Frontline...God Damn!!!

go man do ur site up!!!!

if you are looking for info on frontline try http://www.breakinwreckwordz.com/

myself and my partner run hiphopnz.com, yeah i know the pictures arent always great, and we do this as a hobby so we dont always have the time to go through and edit the bad pics out before uploading them (that.. is not MY fault) but at least we're there with a camera taking any pictures at all, i dont see anyone else doing it, as for your comment on my partner being a pervert, those particular pictures in question were taken by my cousin BGIRL tweek and sent to me as a favour from wellington, and the girls in the pictures are friends of hers, and she doesnt drink.... i suggest you look fully throughout the gallery before you go making assumptions SaidInJest.... havent i seen you on our boards before?

//but at least we're there with a camera taking any pictures at all, i dont see anyone else doing it,

That is true. No-one else is taking any photos at all which is why I suggested to -Tinty- that maybe he/she should go down that route of taking photos for his/her website. More photos the better. Its fucking hard to find decent images of NZ hiphop artists which is why I have started taking photos myself for bullshit use that I use them for.

//as for your comment on my partner being a pervert

That was a joke.

//i suggest you look fully throughout the gallery before you go making assumptions SaidInJest

C'mon man. I been through all the pictures and you have to fish through heaps of photos of people raising their beers, and dudes with fucked up hand signals. Some are good for a laugh but its frustrating looking at the same chick over and over again. Its nice, but you could do with a lot more of the artists performing than the drunkness crowd.
Not all the galleries are bad though cause whoever did the De La Soul photos was brilliant. Those photos captured the energy of the perfomance and the rapture of the crowd. Makes you wish that you were there... As for the others, sometimes it comes off as maybe it wasn't so bad that I never went anyway.
More of the De La Soul type photos please.

//havent i seen you on our boards before?

Yes. I'm a frequent visitor to your site. As I said before "Its a great Hiphop site".

ouch!!!

there's lots of open source content management systems you could use. u get forums, galleries, news etc. I wouldn't recommend rolling your own.
I use one called LDU for htown.co.nz and I use e107 for some other sites including drift.net.nz
u can test drive lots of them at opensourcecms.com.
You can theme them and change layouts etc
gimme a yell if u need any help. I host cheap too
