Hip-hop Flash 6 Degrees of Separation Program?

August 22, 2008 8:00 AM

I remember seeing a flash "6-degrees of separation" simulation for Hip-Hop/Rap artists, probably 2-3 years ago. Is this still around?

You'd click on 1 artist, and then a new set of connections would open from that artist to a new series of artists/families. I'd love to find this again, so I can become familiar with new rappers that are similar to my favorites.

Rolling Stone had a fold-out piece called "Hip Hop Galaxy" in December 2005, with Jay-Z on the cover. I only saw it in print so I don't know if it was flash. Some details are here, it might be on the RS site somewhere.
