Hip Hop has definatly become a culture now that it is becoming more popular worldwide. To me its not just about if you got skillz or not, or if you can make the dopest beats for it or whutever...Its all about self-expression as an artist. About what you are feeling and how well you can express those feeling/emotions through rap. People that dont rap express those emotions by either fighting, crying, laughing or yelling...but if you can take all of that and put it into a track and let it all come out...thats whut its all about, ya know? to me anyways, payce...
