Welcome To Stereohyped

My name's Lauren, and I'm the editor of Stereohyped, your new favorite black-interest blog.

Stereohyped isn't a gossip blog, although I'll give you a lot of it — I'm a little obsessed with celebrity news. It's not an entertainment blog, although we will discuss music, books, movies and television several times a week. This is not a racism watchdog or a doom & gloom current events blog, but I will go there on occasion (it's kind of unavoidable, this being America and all). It's also not a political blog or a fashion and beauty blog. Stereohyped is not one of these things. It's all of them.

There's not a Web site I've found that offers the latest dish on the newest hip hop and R&B couple (Omarion and Rihanna are kinda cute, Keyshia Cole and Jeezy, not so much), spring fashion trends, hot new books, and Barack Obama's energy policy all in one place. I'm sure I won't please everyone all the time, but my goal is to provide a one-stop destination where you can find info relevant to the black community that gets downplayed or completely ignored in the mainstream media. I'm sure you guys will let me know when I'm missing something.

Have fun reading, and come back!

Cool blog, cool content.

Thanks for the invite. I like the balance of politics, cultural news, and whatever. And, I like the intelligence factor of this blog too.

Super Fabulous! I can't wait to keep up on things that are happening. I don't always have time, nor the attention span. Having a single place to read up on issues and events with a twist is marvalous. Wavy TV has its limits.Congratulations and Buena Suerte!
