what is hip hop?
What is hip hop?
Hip hop is a lifestyle.It is an artform.It is a culture of self expression. Hip hop isnt just rap music. It is based on 4 element's. Breakdancing,graffiti art,turntablism and of course rap music. these four element's are all based upon self expression, if you do any 1 of these element's proberly with skill yet in your own original style.you have used hip hop the way it is spose to be used. Hip hop is to be respected. Hip hop isnt all about money bitch's and gun's.NO!! It's about diffrent culture's and religion's coming together to enjoy the realist music ever created. It doesnt matter what color your skin is. Hip hop isnt abou tyour color, it's about unity. It's about showing our elder's we have belife's,were not just wild youth with no understanding of the world. Hip hop is our way of gaining knowlegde of the world,and the way the world work's.It is the expression of the youth of the year 2000. It is our outlet. Afrika Bambaataa's definition of hip hop Hip Hop means the whole culture of the movement.. when you talk about rap..Rap is part of the hip hop culture..The emceeing..The djaying is part of the hip hop culture. The dressing the languages are all part of the hip hop culture.The break dancing the b-boys, b-girls ..how you act, walk, look, talk are all part of hip hop culture.. and the music is colorless.. Hip Hop music is made from Black, brown, yellow, red, white.. whatever music that gives you the grunt.. that funk.. that groove or that beat.. It's all part of hip hop....(thank's to davy d's hip hop corner) well that's my thought's on hip hop.what's left to say? Everyone keep respecting the culture,and the culture will respect you back. |
personnaly hip hop in my view can be broken down to:
Lyricists DJ BeatBoxing Graphing Breaking An out of the common world style (talk, walk, look type things) Music in general and a few other small tidbits... But all in all, every person has a little "Hip Hop" in them, even if all they do is put hearts as the dots for their "i"s... |
Hip-Hop=Elemental Soul....my name is the same shit as Hip-Hop cept its said in a fancy way that i made up.....HOLLA NIGGA lol

hip hop is a beat, a life, a true story... just stick to it and u won`t regret!
|
Hip Hop= music that can come from a person of any race that has been raised or affiliated with the ghetto for most of their life
hip hop deliers a message about somethin important, not about ice and rims........ |
emcee'n
graph'n break'n dj'n combined all four elements into one culture and your left with Hip-Hop |
hip-hop doesnt have a set meaning
everyone has their own interpretation |
Hip hop isnt something you do, it isn't a thing you learn, it's something you are. Wow, this is a deep thread.

Are you a fuckin idiot? Hip-Hop ISNT MUSIC... get it through your ignorant heads.. hip-hop is a CULTURE... it ISNT the bullshit on the radio... rapping is a part of hip hop... The media were idiots back in the day and generalised hip hop into rap, and they called bboying breakdancing... Its a form of self expression and a way of life... Upper class dudes dress nice, listen to classy classical music, do waltzes and go to ballet's, they like fine art... thats THEIR CULTURE OUR CULTURE is dressin dope.. listening to rap or rapping ourselves.. doin a bit of breaking or popping, going to BOTY 2005, and we like graffiti. THATS how it is... |

Out of all these posts, i agree with what this guy said the most.. A lot of people dont understand this shit because they dont have it in them.. Word to this dude. |
its not racist saying hip hop is black culture. Its just not entirely accurate. Hip Hop was black culture, and still is a strong part for a lot of black people but it has expanded so much over the years it has become more of a youth-of-today culture.
thats wat i think |
Quote:
That doesnt make sense. Its like saying christianity is the Israelites culture. I'm not a christian but christianity is a way of life... As is hip hop... Just because blacks were MOST (not all) of the founding fathers, doesnt mean its THEIR culture. People like you piss me off sometimes... If you're kind is striving for equality, should other races not do certain things because blacks dont want them to? Its 21st century segregation... You are what you hate. |
Hip means to be aware, hop is a movement.
It's expression and insight (through verse, dance, etc.) on situations, changes and perspectives in life...which is in constant motion itself. |
I agree wit verbal, but Hip Hop is when someone gives their own views on how they look on life...... think if Malcom X or Martin Luther King Jr. would have done their speeches in Hip Hop.... They Would of had a KRUNK crowd and gettin people psyched!!! lol but its true lettin people kno whats your view on ways of life is a true form of Hip Hop.
|
First post killed anything else left to say, but i'de add one thing:
Hip Hop is a mind state expressed and elevated by the peers you share it with. It's a place to go when you're feeling creative. |
hip hop too me is like life..i mean its the way u live.....not giving a shit whta people think about it either..and i dont belive that u have to be hood raised or any of that shit....its how u feel and the shit u've gone through......like living in shitty places
|
We all look at hip hop n different ways. So its really a stupid question. The real question is. What is hip hop to you?
|
^^thats what the question is..i fi didnt want to know everyones personal view on things i would of had the thread closed when i made it.
|
Hip-Hop is a culture, just like any other culture. Its like the ancient aztecs or something. They had their own clothes, music, dances, ways of speaking, outlooks on life and all that shit, so does hip-hop.
|
Hip Hop Is A Way Of Life. A Way All Of Us Can Express Are Selfs.its A Culture Like No Other And Has Been Passed Down From Geneeration To Generation. It Is Also A Culture That Not One Race Sex Or Reliogion Participates In , It Is Universal ....a Shared Interest Between Us And Others. Hip Hip Is Not Only A Way Of Life....it Is Our Life.
|
I AM HIP HOP - HIPHOP IS LIVING In YOUR RHYTHM OF LIFE
|
I agree wit Ysdat
Hip hop is a lifestyle, a mindframe, an artform It is much deeper than just rap and it continues to evolve into somethin great |
rap became hip hop after some time.
|
You stupid douchebag. hip hop and rap aren't even related. hip-hop is an expresion of one's self. rap is merly a glorification of money and women and materialistic bullshit.
rap: sux hip-hop: artform rap: cam'ron, mike jones, all of cash money...etc. hip hop: talib qwali, mos def, Mf doom...etc |
