They have a searchable database collection that you connect to when you join the web site and as a member you’ll be able to learn about the videos and watch related video content as well.

You can also chat with other users in the attached chat box and make new companions while you enjoy the latest in hip hop.

It is thought to be a top 5,000 websites and while it’s geared towards the urban community as a whole, its main demographic base is African American teen and young adult oriented, leaning slightly towards the ladies. people who enjoy Black Entertainment television (BET) and shop at stores like Finish Line are most like ly to be found frequenting a website such as this, based on the market research done prior to launching the website to the world.

Music videos aren’t the only thing showing up on World Star Hip Hop. All types of special interest videos are being mixed into the websites database.

The web site should definitely not be viewed by children under the age of 18 as there is some  surprisingly adult content available on it just in the public areas. For example, if you click on the ‘WSHH Honey’s’ link at the top of the home page, you are taken to a Internet page that displays ladies in all states of undress including their videos showing why they should be considered a ‘WSHH Honey’. There are even instructions on the World Star Hip Hop web site on how to submit your own video.

What’s exhilarating to note is that while World Star Hip Hop is a membership web site, it doesn’t seem to be any links on how to join. When you run your mouse over the web site and text that talks about membership, it doesn’t give you an option to click and join.

Country Western (CW) Music?

This is a individual opinion and for that reason, I do not want any hate mail from Country Western (CW) audiences, which I know are fanatical and omnipresent. I do have my preferred s, from a chauvinistic man’s point of view. I think that Shania Twain and Faith Hill are sexy and I enjoy several of their videos plus some of their songs. But is it because they’re large country western stars? No way. I’ve a problem listening to most of the Country Western (CW) stuff because it all is beginning to sound the same. I can’t tell a Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith or Alan Jackson song apart if my life depended on it.
I grew up on the Jersey shore and a lot of of you could, for that reason, think I am unqualified to make such a judgment. But hold on. I’ve spent the final 30 years in Arizona. Does it get more country or western than that? You know, the home of Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, and where the ‘Little House on the Prairie’ has been filmed.
So I am a transplant with an attitude. Don’t get me wrong, because I’ve given it a try. My late wife has been from West Virginia and, during her mid-life crisis, began playing Country Western (CW) music continuously for five years.  we  had all the CD ’s, radio stations on preset, and even watched the Country Western (CW) awards on TV. I could recognize all the large names, the latest hits, and who has been new to the scene. Through it all, I really tried to enjoy the sound, for her sake. But, eventually, I wandered back to my classic rock and roll, jazz, or blues.
I play the harmonica and keyboard and have oodles of sheet music. I’ve attempted to play a few of the recent Country Western (CW) popular numbers, but to no avail. I’ve several of the older Country Western (CW) classics that have crept into mainstream by Johnny Cash and Ernie Ford, but they are few and far betwixt. The current songs have become a formula that is fodder for Jeff Foxworthy and his ilk. According to people like him, it goes like this:
You start with a sad premise. You’ve lost your: (fill in the blank) i.e., girl, dog, choose up truck. They were your 1st : love, companion, way of freedom. You remember their: smiles, wagging tail, leather seats. You wish you could, once again, feel their: hair, fur, gun rack. You really miss their: smell, smell, smell. You would do anything to get them back: tell her you love her, rub her cute little tummy, (or did I’ve those reversed?) hose her engine compartment. While you’re waiting for them to return, you’ll have to: do your own laundry, fetch your own paper, walk to the liquor store. In other words, it’s not a pretty sight.
So that is my gripe with Country Western (CW). They vary the harmony, the lyrics and the tempo, but the message is obvious. I yearn for a total vary of pace where I could get my ‘Satisfaction’ or ‘Light My Fire.’ But I furthermore have troubles with Hip-Hop, Rap, and Grunge. So, let’s say I’ve got issues and be done with it. And, to all you Country Western (CW) lovers out there, stick with your music and do not let a basher like me vary your tune, pardoning the pun. And did I mention the two things I do like about Dolly Parton?

Pop Music Uncorked!

Pop music is a type of popular music notable from classical or art music and from folk music. The term indicates specific stylistic qualities, but the genre furthermore includes elements of rock, hip-hop, dance, and country, making it a flexible musical form. The definition of pop music is purposefully flexible as the music that is identified as pop is constant ly changing.
The expression pop music could furthermore be used to refer to specific sub genres (within the pop music genre ) that are referred to as soft rock and pop/rock. The pop music genre furthermore generally involves mass marketing and consumer-driven endeavors by major record organizations and music labels, which makes it an generally -scorned genre by non-mainstream musicians as they feel that the quality of music suffers.
The average consumer of pop music is generally identified to be in his or her teenage years, making it an important icon of youth culture. Pop music has always been the source of numerous moral panics, especially as a lot of of the styles that influence it trickle up from minority groups (racial, ethnic, sexual or class-based). This is partly because youth culture itself is an object of social trepidation. It is tempting for anyone to confuse pop music with popular music. According to the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, popular music is identified as the music since industrialization in the 1800’s that is most in line with the tastes and interests of the urban middle class.
This would include an extremely expansive  range of music from vaudeville and minstrel shows to heavy metal. Pop music, on the other hand, has primarily come into usage to describe music that evolved out of the rock n roll revolution of the mid 1950’s and continues in a definable path to today.
One of the steadiest elements of pop music since the 1950’s is the pop song, which isn’t generally written, performed and recorded as a symphony, suite, or performance o. The standard form for pop music is the song and generally a song consisting of verse and repeated chorus. They are short in length but there have been notable exceptions though. The Beatles Hey Jude has been an epic 7 minutes in length. Nonetheless, in a lot of cases, If the song is abnormally long, an edited version is released for radio airplay such as in the case of Don McLean’s truly famous American Pie. It has been edited down from its original 8 1/2 minutes length to just over 4 minutes for radio airplay. While on the other extreme, some hit songs clocked in less than 2 minutes in length.
like other art forms that aim to attract a mass audiences (movies, TV, Broadway shows), pop music has been and continues to be a melting pot that borrows and absorb elements and ideas from a expansive  range of musical styles. Over the past five decades, pop music has been influenced and in company d genres of music like Rock, R&B in numerous ways. Most recently, Latin music seems to be impacting pop music more meaningful ly than at any point in the past.
Although pop music continues to be a melting pot of styles, there is a type of pop music that claims to be pop music in its purest form. This music, generally called pure pop or power pop, typically consists of relatively brief (not over 3 1/2 minutes) songs played on the standard electric guitar, bass and drums with vocals that have a truly strong catchy chorus, or hook.
In the 2000s, hip-hop blended in with pop music, is paving the way for the multi platinum successes of musicians like Nelly, Eminem, 50 Cent, Ludacris, Ciara, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani and especially Britney Spears. musicians such as Mariah Carey and pop queen, Madonna, presented comeback albums that continued to make them rule the music charts and keep their titles.
For the past 50 years the most successful musical styles on the pop charts have continually vary d and evolved and times will tell as how much more popular they become in future.
