If you are simply a Hip-Hop head volunteering to collect entries for our database, you are required to provide us with your valid source(s). All other qualified persons and/or groups must provide a valid reference source (i.e.., link to their official website).
New contributors will be provided a unique contributor identification number. Returning contributors are recommended to provide this contributor number when submitting new entries so as to record the number of unique valid entries they have submitted for review and approval.
Contributors are encouraged to submit biographies and/or exclusive interviews pertaining to a particular individual, organization or group from as many unique and legitimate sources as possible. The more content added within each entry, the more comprehensive our database will be.
Contributors may add new biographies and/or interviews to pre-existing encyclopedia entries. You are required to provide us with your valid sources for approval into our database.
All contributors are encouraged, but not required, to submit valid self photos for their biographical entries. You may provide us with the website link (URL) contating the photo(s) you wish to add to your submission via our Online Submission Form. If you are unable to provide us with a website link, instructions on how and where to submit your photos will be provided upon approval of your submission. Photos will only be added to your entry upon approval by our submissions staff.
Graffiti artists are REQUIRED to submit photos and/or scans of their artwork for their biographical entries. You may provide us with the website link (URL) contating the photo(s) you wish to add to your submission via our Online Submission Form. If you are unable to provide us with a website link, instructions on how and where to submit your photos will be provided upon approval of your submission. Only after approval of the legitimacy of the artwork by our submissions staff will Graffiti artist entries be added to our online database. The integrity of the Hip-Hop Encyclopedia and our mission to properly catalog and preserve Hip-Hop culture depends on your truthfulness.
Active ICU members who participate in collecting database entries for Ill Crew University will have their biographies approved and added to the Hip-Hop Encyclopedia as a Hip-Hop Culture Preservationist.
Non-ICU members who have submitted 10 or more unique entries into our database will have their biographies approved and added to the Hip-Hop Encyclopedia as a Hip-Hop Culture Preservationist. Ill Crew University uses your contributor identification number to authenticate the number of unique entries you have submitted for review.
If English is not your first language, we still encourage you to submit your entry in YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE. This enables our readers to better realize the scope of Hip-Hop's global reach through an openly multilingual database.
Contributors are encouraged to properly translate pre-existing encyclopedia entries into their native language and submit the translated entries for review and approval into our database.
If you notice that a particular Hip-Hop personality hasn't yet been added to our database, please do not hesitate to take it upon yourself to submit their valid biographical entry for our staff to review. Your proactive participation is vital to preserving the integrity of Hip-Hop culture for generations to come.
Ill Crew University reserves the right to approve, deny, edit, revise, update and/or appropriately delete submissions and entries in our database in accordance to upholding the quality, comprehensiveness, validity and integrity of the Hip-Hop Encyclopedia.
