Alternative hip hop Alternative hip hop (also known as alternative rap) is a subgenre of hip hop music that encompasses the wide range of styles of hip hop that have not become identified as mainstream.

Landing the lead singer of “Maps,” “Gold Lion” and “Art Star” is not only an inspired hire; it also raises the question: Given Google’s massive reach, might this home-page video turn the commissioned number,” Nellie,” into an actual hit? (It certainly gives new meaning to the term “Google Play.”) In many of her assignments, including her celebrated 72-day whirlwind trip around the world in 1889, Bly literally flew against convention of her day. “Take us all around the world” — Karen O
