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. Allmusic defines it as follows: Alternative rap refers to hip hop groups that tend not to conform to any of the traditional stereotypes of rap, such as gangsta, bass, hardcore, pop, and party rap.

Nellie Bly: Google Doodle’s 1st original song (Karen O) salutes an American original TODAY, to celebrate the life and writings of the pioneering reporter Nellie Bly, Google delivers its most artful musical Doodle ever. And in saluting the globe-trotting journalist who was a true American original, Team Google Doodle commissioned its first original song ever, tapping the sublime talents of singer-songwriter Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (an indie trio that, we must note, puts on a great live show). 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
