Many people hate hip-hop.
Many people don't understand hip-hop.
And when most people think hip-hop, the last place they think of is Wisconsin.
So when I browsed through some of the winners for different awards in the Online News Association's Journalism Awards, the multimedia piece the Wisconsin State Journal put together really shocked me.
In a good way.
I'm a huge hip-hop fan, and I'm a fan of exactly the hip-hop that was covered in this piece. When people hear the term hip-hop, there are a lot of negative connotations that go into their head.
But this piece focused on the hip-hop that is at the root, why hip-hop was started. It focused on the roots of hip-hop.
The piece creatively used videos, audio, and a flash package to put together a beautiful and functional presentation. The hip-hop timeline was particularly great.
This was really an amazing piece that deserves the recognition it has gotten.
