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....

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= 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........

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.
