Introducing Hip Hop The Blockchain // Steemit Community Initiative
Hip Hop The Blockchain
What It Is
A Global Initiative to Empower Hip Hop Creators & Consumers on the Blockchain
How We Do It
Participation. If you're active in Hip Hop and you're here on Steemit then you're already doing it! The growth of Steemit, DTube and DSound is on the rise. It starts with each of our contributions right here. Contributions like the Rap Challenge, Beat Battle League, The Cut, Record Pool, Termite's Lo-Fi MC Challenge, SML Challenge, SMA, Spitefire, and everyone else contributing to the #hiphop hashtag.
Let's Put Hip Hop On The Blockchain
Many local communities already have thriving Hip Hop scenes. Steemit is the perfect place to start connecting all our communities, through existing & developing Blockchain technologies. In a way, we are all Pioneers of Hip Hop on the Blockchain, because that's exactly what we're doing!
We're also on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter... until that all changes of course :)
Your Block on the Blockchain?
To support our first Hip Hop The Blockchain initiative we request the Power of your Participation.
Contribute to a Crowd-Sourced Video Project of Hip Hop on the Blockchain by representing your real-world Block. Here's an example from @vandigital
The videos will be compiled and comprised of everyone's Block linked to a chain of transitions, resulting in a montage suitable to become... a Music Video? More to come on that.
Call To Action
Submit Your Video
- Put your Block on the Blockchain with a short video of you standing... on Your Block
- Record your videos in landscape mode as a selfie or with a stick/gimbal
- 30 seconds including your introduction and project mention at the start of your video
Format
Embed a YouTube link or use DTube for your Video and make it Downloadable if possible
Deadline
Video submission will close on February 16th 2018
- All Submission Posts should include the #hiphoptheblockchain tag and also appear in a comment on the Official Submissions Posts on February 16th just so we have everything organized :)

I like that you put an effort into creating active participation and connection, this will help to draw in good and creative people from all over the world over time. And thanks for listing all the challenges that are already happening, I will check some of those out.
What is with that awkward 20 second silence at the end though:)?
Glad to see a Hip Hop community is growing here.
Thanks @musicmojonez for your words of encouragement. Yes, the silence was just for a static shot. We're o going to stick all of them together and stylize is in a blockchain video montage. So there wont be silence in the background at the point ;) maybe the post wasn't clear enough, but it's cool, whatever people wanna shoot should be good enough!
