It's honourable not having affiliate links, but I'd add them in if this were my project.
Most people don't care or even know what one is and it'd allow you a bit of beer money from the project and cover the costs of the servers. Most people on the site would be happy enough to not pay and have no adverts, affiliate links are a very unobtrusive way of making money from a project like this.
I have a project with affiliate links, and the passive infrequent income I receive from it softly persuades me to do more work on it.
The lack of affiliate links has nothing to do with honour, he's doing it to try and avoid having to take down the music used: http://theraptest.com/copyright.html
My thought was that he may be able to use the iTunes 30 second previews but after looking into it further I think this would qualify as "the main focus [..] of a web experience".
> 5. Song previews can only be used to promote the track. They cannot be used for entertainment independent of that purpose, or as the main focus of an App or web experience.
You should include some basic instructions on the home page because it took me a while to figure out what this exactly did. I went to the Eminem page and thought I had to shade in the Relapse album cover and didn't realize I had to click haha.
Really fun website though. I'm having a blast and discovering cool songs.
I also encountered #2 and the first "Run This Town" selected wasn't accepted as correct. The next song was still "Run This Town", but this time with only one option presented and accepted as correct.
Very nice! It'd be cool if this could be turned into a type of flashcard, quiz site where users could upload some sort of config file with questions, answers, images, video and then test their knowledge of the subject.
stupid. i only know who kanye & eminem is, never heard of the others and i've been listening to hip-hop all my life. although, it's not this pop hip-hop that's currently in fashion.
Your comment would be more constructive if it requested some "real artists" by name... For what it's worth, my own requests would be (in no particular order) Immortal Technique, Eyedea, Tech N9ne, Tupac, Nas, Biggie, Xzibit, and Hopsin.
Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, MF Doom, Deltron 3030 Aesop Rock and maybe Captain Murphy(might not be enough content). Gotta fill in those hipster rappers.
fair enough. in no order, immortal technique, the coup, pete rock & c.l. smooth, de la soul, xzibit, the goats, jedi mind tricks, artifacts, redman, big daddy kane, black moon, btnh, canibus, dead prez, eazy-e, krs-one, leaders of the new school, nas, rakim, royce, kano, sway, skinnyman, az, the firm, wu-tang and so on
If you don't know the answer, you're better off choosing any option at the end of the timer to lose minimal points vs losing the full 150 for not answering.

EDIT: Fixed
Was that hard limit that you had to change or did it scale for you automatically?
It's a neat idea and I'm looking forward to this taking off.
