no one ever said hip hop was an opinion. i know its not an opinion.
and for you to say d4L isnt hip hop but then say hip hop is a way of life thats contridicting yourself. who are you to say the life that d4l potray isnt hip hop? its sure as hell isnt a Gothic lifestyle or Emo lifesytle. just because you people think certain artists arent up to par or perfect role models for hip hop u strip them from being hip hop..



and last i still say and So has a bunch of other artists...


Hip Hop consists of 4 elements..we arent talking about the past..what it is NOW.

Rapping
DJ'n
Breaking
Graffing


If i am correct having anything to do with these four elements..OR even having a understanding and respect and love for any of these for elements would make you hip hop. RnB singers are also influenced by the hip hop community although they dont take part in any of the elements..THEY in fact still lead a hip hop lifestyle.

so its you live a hip hop lifestyle...and you take part in the hip hop culture that makes you hip hop.


and lockness..what is fake or real hip hop?

that statement just screams that your knocking talent just because its not your taste

any whack artist in the industry that you might not like is there for a reason. because they have a creative way of delivering the shit they put out. just because YOU dont like it doesnt mean someone else doesnt. thats when YOUR opinion steps in and trys to speak up for actual facts.
