Abstract

There's no question that e‐business offers incredible opportunities. Companies that create an effective Web presence can streamline operations, shorten response time to customer requests, gather more market data, increase their geographic reach, and, ideally, sell more. With e‐commerce expected to nudge up to the trillion‐dollar mark within the next few years, there are very few businesses that will not have some kind of Internet presence.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper is a companion piece to the short documentary Breakin' Away. The paper aims to touch on Texas b‐boy culture and tourism, the hip‐hop industry at large, book publishing, intra‐industry media‐synergy, the Hollywood film industry and related aspects of pop culture.

Design/methodology/approach

Part ethnographic memoir, part confessional, part anecdotal how‐to, the article is written in the first person and fits within the tradition of autoethnography.

Findings

Given its autoethnographic focus, the paper follows several unique cases rather than attempting to abstract generalizable principles.

Originality/value

The paper provides an inside view of Texas b‐boy subculture and reveals specific aspects of the hip‐hop industry.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to identify a variety of titles and resources to offer both public and academic librarians guidance in establishing and maintaining a definitive core collection of past and present materials.

Design/methodology/approach

The annotated bibliography includes CD recordings, films, documentaries, serials, monographs and web sites on rap music and hip‐hop culture. The entries chosen were culled from rap music periodicals, reference works, catalogs and journals.

Findings

These resources showcase the innovation of rap's formative years. They trace the broad scope of rap musical styles and document and critique hip‐hop culture.

Originality/value

These selected titles capture distinctive periods in hip‐hop history and help librarians stay current and conscious of what to include in their collections as rap becomes more mainstream and more respectable.
