lmao... this thread isnt about what hip hop is its a bunch of questions.

have a cry

*has a cry* ..................

really it is, if you care this much about hip hop's "roots"
you have to be sending or hopeing to send that you
are Le Grande Hipo Hopo ;)

Yeah man for sure. You cant know what hip hop is without knowing the name of everyone in Wu Tang. Without knowing who every emcee's DJ is... YOU ARE NOTHING. Hip Hop isnt a culture, its about who's freakish enough to learn the name of a bunch of underground emcees albums!! im so sorry, what was I thinking... HA! hip hop? a culture? naahhhhhhh

hip hop is not a culture, its a business.
and when you understand that, you understand
why business and history dont belong in the
same forum. i only see one medium that has
lasted, no names, no underground albums
no dj's none, i only see music as the medium...
a culture shouldn't be named after the music
it was born from. it shits on the history of music.

Hip Hop is a culture made of elements. Business is business. just cos todays industry exploits rap (which happens to be the music of the culture) unto 15 yr old girls who think black people are cool, doesnt mean its hip hop.

Its a twisted form of rap, but NOT hip hop.

how can you honestly say that today
in our day and age that hip hop is not
influenced 90% by money or the likes of it?

Rap is. Its exploited to the shithouse.

But hip hop isnt.

:/ which "element" is safe?

graf, it will never become a mainstream money making machine

I never knew that, yo.

y'all are in the wrong thread. this is simply a hip hop knowledge thread, nothing more. lol. and yes jpoll kool moe dee is right.


next question- What group was Tupac originally in before becoming a solo artist?

Outlawz?.......

no, keep guessing....

digital underground

yes that is correct. next question.

What group was Busta Rhymes in before going solo?

actually. tupac was never an actual member was he. he just became real close wit them. and was on tour. and did a bunch of songs. but was busta Flipmode, just guessin i dont know much bout his past except songs

no flipmode was his crew. he was in another crew of mc's before that. and yes tupac was apart of digital underground early on.

The Lons. lmao.

correct lords of the new school...

next question- Name all of the orignal members of N.W.A.?
