Music: A goal to reach for: The Huffington Post of Hip-Hop?
- A former XXL Magazine editor says yes. The Huffington Post, which exploded in popularity in the last year, is perhaps an odd model for a hip-hop Web site, but Elliott Wilson says RapRadar.com can pull it off. The site, which launches March 9, will attempt to combine the worlds of blog gossip and news, just like HuffPo. And it helps that the mag has cred and money behind it: Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, is backing it, and Wilson is publishing an authorized bio of Jay-Z next year. So he can probably get those guest celebrity columns, too. source
