Message: wow, ok. I'm white and an avid hip hop fan. I dont wear baggy denims and hats sideways, u wouldnt see me in a street and say whoa look at that girl, she's obviously a hip hop fan! U are generalising, stereotyping and just plain wrong. The 'rap' that u r talkin about is commercialised products of what society wants to hear, they do not represent REAL hip hop but do in fact represent our society, so how can they be the ones havin the impact on it when they are merely the product!?
on another note, if u have ever sat down and seriously thot about self expression thru words im sure u'd be hard pressed to come up with sumthin that flows well, makes sense and most importantly is beautiful to listen to.
If u have ever studied english literature as i do, u would discover the striking similarities between great poets of all time such as robert frost, and true hip hop artists (and im not talkin about 50 cent or even tupac but more amateur or earlier artists.)u would find Similarities such as the structures, metaphors, use of alliteration, descriptive words, similies, rhymes schemes, the list is endless!!!
Lastly, hip hop did not begin in Africa it began in the bronx in America so ur last statement was completely misinformed! well Peace and love! (the real hip hop message!
)
