Hip Hop
 

You know what, I was just chilling in my room the other day, and suddenly my (enormous) brain lit. I realised how powerful hip hop is. We have created sounds and manipulated the minds of thousands and brainwashed the entire world. We have created something sooo powerful. We created an athelete sport, known as breakdancing, we created an individual artisitic form that people can endure, known as graffiti art, we created a form of manipulating sounds in the music industry that no other music form which stands today, would not use, yes im talking about dj-ing. And last but not least, we created 'mcing.' It lets us express ourself, and some of what we say, might not be true, buts its poetry in a higher state of mind. Such a complex form, that when delivered people just become stunned. The creativity is the highest ever in our culture, Name one other culture which is soo active within itself, name another culture that can do the things we can? Nothing. We just soo raw, and im proud that I can be part of something sooo complex, and yet soo artisitic, soo expressive. To me, its madd-ness. Wah blow


Just wanted to know what you guys feel about our culture and shit, how much it means to you personally.

Do you guys do anything else apart from mc-ing? cus I do graffiti and art, and that helps me influence me with my rapping. What influences you?

Discuss:

the whole shit was dope until you got to this point..

.

I'm tired of having this debate already.. so i'm not going to comment on it. theres to many valid points, to make on both sides.. so we'll be here for days. all i wanna say is I LOVE Hip Hop.

u didnt create shit lol

everything i see in the world influences me, not necesserly the important things, like world war, an shit like, that, but the small thing like, when u hear about some one doin some mad crazy remarkable shit, you know!!!
most people are influenced by things that they dont even know..............

k, i edited my post, due to I just realised that gold digging is debated too much. so just discuss on what iv edited aight.#


as to double-0-seven, true say bruv. I get influenced by stupid little things, like grass blowing the wind, or my g/f chatting shit too me. Thats the kinda shit I like about this culture, you can chat about anything and anyone, and anyone can relate to what your saying, cus its straight.

Good job at such a gay post man, You just permitted me to believe that hip hop is weak, because through all of that you didn't name anything exceptional. You broke down hip hop in such an ignorant and obnoxous way that you actually took the value of our culture and plunged it. Good job at being a homo.

Yea, of coarse hip-hop influences me in every way. Before i started write'n rhymes and all that I was really big into Graffin. I got really REALLY good wit that so i just wanted to expand my shit, so i started write'n around 7th-8th grade.

Yo Ayura.....you any good at graffin??? I mean like you actually can graff, cuz you know alot of heads claim they nice but have no skillz at all, hahaha. If you nice ide like to see some of your graffs....ill show you some works i did myself, 1

Hit me up on aim son...."Finotonino"

hip hop blew my mind a long time ago lol. Hip Hop is one of the best expressions of music. And the culture is sick. No other form of music got it like we got it.

I Needed To Hear That! That Is A Brilliant Explination.....
Because F*cking Punks Don't know Shit About Hip Hop Where I Come From And They Think That Hip Hop Aint Nuthin Bout Niggaz Rappin' About Bling Bling And Hoes... That Explination Right There Can Prove So Much Punk Ass Bitches Wrong.. Hip Hop Started Wit PPL Like RunDMC And Jam Master Jay, Even The Beastie Boys....

Sorry About My Bad Language But Its True...
You Should Also Post That In Hip-Hop Lounge!

~LadyD~

with all due respect, i dont understand what you just said.

and as for my opinion on this thread...

bah, just another one of these "lets reassure ourselves that hip hop is still dope" thread.

but whatever, pretty boring shit. and i dont feel like arguing about this culture for the 9000000000th time.

Haha^
Im seein Cannibal Ox nd Def Jux on the 8th
*does a jig*

sigh

no your not kid. :rolleyes:

cann ox split, and vast doesnt want anything to do with el-p and def jux. just embrace it...

Im Still Seein Def Jux on the 8th tho...Damn when did Ox Split...?

this was an interesting piece, but im actually going to have to agree with it. nice post.............in my opinon

holla

DEL, just cus you been on this site way longer then me, and you seen another thread which is similar to this, dont think its played. Theres loads of played things, hip hop itself is played, but I like it that way.

Del....Cannibal Ox didn't split because they are playing in a concert tonight that I was supposed to fucking go see......

Didn't you pick up Bazooka Tooth?
Murs himself says, "Cann Ox didn't break up.....That's just a rumor"

i think was a good post... i quite agree with it myself

i think your being sarcastic but i dunno.

i think its just better to embrace the fact that they are no longer.

and murs? is murs el-p? no... unless he is speaking for el-p then i wouldnt take what he says to seriously...

whatever.

Yeh i thoroughly enjoy hip hop but i aint dying for no man's words, like someone sed the "spoiling of rawness" arguement is tired but i think that as long as YOU the individual keep doing what u think is hot there shouldnt be a problem, 1luv.

Sorry, Lady D. But Hip-Hop didn't start with Run-DMC, Jam Master J, or even the beastie boys.

It started with Afrika Bambaataa and Zulu, it started with Grandmaster Flash and the furios Five, and Dj Kool Herc and the Herculoids.


Anyway... as for what Ayura is saying. It's common sense. If you haven't realized that by now, then there is something wrong. Of course, it takes us different amounts of time to figure this stuff out. Some of us, like me, stay quiet about any personal discoveries we make so as to seem as we knew it all along.

But hey, the sooner you get involved in something the sooner you can be enlightened about it. And the most realest Hip-Hop I can think of isn't the five elements of Graffiti, MC'ing, Dj'ing, Breaking and knowledge. Hip-Hop to me, the most realest Hip-Hop, will always be the Ninja Turtles.

Mmm.... pizza...

I agree hip-hop is strong, but it doesn't influence like Ayura is sayin.....................................I don't like you, Ayura!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha, i dont like you too *sticks out tounge*





I heard it started even way before then, when the indians moved to africa along time ago, they obviosly brought there culture with them, and priest would say there prays really really fast in a sort of non-flow rytym (dont ask). Anyways, ancient african wise teller people started doing the same method, then it passed down to generations in poets in a secret form. Then, rap music came.

Whether to believe this I dont know, but we could argue all day about hip hop, I just wanna know what influences you in hip hop, and what influences you, you become you.

shut up with all ya mythol;ogy African shit you loser, your white and your from fuckin Stoke or summat so shut the fuck up you 54 yr old paedo

first of all, I aint white, second i aint 54, third your gay.

shut up you loser....................

you were beggin for my msn and aim tryin to make me your friend.............loser

nope, so I could hack your computer

Hip hop is the only thing that sets me free if you know what I mean. When I'm rappin or writin rhymes is when i can truly let all my feelins out without a care in the world. Nothin has effected me more than rap. I just seem to connect with it coz I feel what some of these rappers say coz I've had tough times aswell. Everybody has. But everybody has their own ways of dealin with things. Mine is with my rymes.

Lmao @ Ayura an PS. This threads actually makes me feel ashamed and feel shitty to be apart of something you two concider yourelf apart of as well. Do Hiphop a favor and strangle yourselves with guitar Strings. Faggots like you, that seem to think you know eveything about hiphop, fuck up the whole thing.

I know shit about Hiphop before you jump on my dick but I dont start Threads about mindless epiphonies when I decide to actually use my Brain.

To answer the Influence question, my influences are to least appeal to dumbasses like yourselves. Mental struggles is where my shit mostly comes from... I'd start sayin shit bout Intelligence but apparently thats played too...

^^^^who annoyed him^^^^

dont know, but he doesnt realise who he's talking to, so phuk em.

^How do I not realize who I'm talking to..? I was directing my post towards you and that PS character. I think you didnt want to see that...

forget it, it dont matter, dont wanna start beef. ill be da bigger man and start over.


anyways, dont sleep guys, what influences you, and how has hip hop developed you as a character etc?

I'm not being sarcastic......

Cann Ox is on tour right now, and I am so mad that I missed their concert. Jean Grae and Pumpkinhead were opening for them.

I do not lie...


Besides....that Cann Ox split rumor is old......did you just hear about it or something?

topics always change topic

What the hell? Your a new one.

And don't talk anymore, your hurting this board.

WE???

we who?
