Background:
When it comes to hip hop culture, ratchet music plays a big part. According to Wikipedia, "ratchet is a slang term in hip hop. The word ratchet first appeared in publication in 1992, with the song I'm So Bad by UGK. In 2004, a new version of the song featuring Lil’ Boosie was recorded. The producer of the song named Earl Williams, also known as Phunk Dawg, wrote the definition in the CD liner notes: "n., pron., v, adv., 1. To be ghetto, real, gutter, nasty."
Ratchet may mean different things to different people, but if you still need an explanation, this competition might not be for you.
For this competition, we chose to work with Woah Vicky, @imwoahvicky, as she was recently publicized for a fight with Bhad Bhabie. Woah Vicky is a queen of virality and has amassed a serious following, but one thing is for sure - she is herself. Hip hop is big on authenticity, and no one has questioned whether the fight with Bhad Bhabie was a ploy.
As entertaining as ratchet music can be, in the past, some politicians and other figureheads from outside the hip hop culture have used ratchet music as a reason to ban certain artists and performers. Now is your chance to express yourself by voting.
How it Works:
If more than 50 artists sign up, the competition will go in rounds, in which each submission will need four votes in order to move to the next round. Once the submissions are narrowed down to less than 50, the remaining artists will compete head-to-head for maximum exposure. The final round will last for three weeks. Artists are randomly selected and matched so that no one has an advantage, and the submission with the most votes will win. You can follow individual competitions and be notified when the competition begins and when voting opens for each round.
Shape the Culture:
No longer will someone else dictate who you listen to or who should get spins. By giving everyone an equal opportunity to be seen and heard, and then advancing the winners, you are telling labels and radio stations what’s hot. Your vote will dictate the trends and determine which artists deserve more exposure. And with that simple vote, you are shaping the culture!
