So that's the definition of hip-hop determined by a former Wendy's worker in his mid 20's who just got out of jail and some nice one on one time with some guys that haven't seen a girl in years.

Who the fuck are you to talk? It's funny that you call text a "stepping stone" so if you're past a stepping stone you should be far greater at that area than somebody who apparently can't get past it. Well according to your battle with Kirk, you're not.

Hip-hop is a culture that is based on expressing feeling through art. Last time I checked writing was a form of art. So is graphing, drumming, singing, and voicing your opinions through songs.

You think that you're hip-hop? Just because you went out and bought a cheap imitation of a large chain, rock unnecessarily large clothes and own a microphone that you spit half ass shit through... you aren't hip-hop. Call yourself a rapper or an emcee or whatever the fuck you want, you're not hip-hop. You're a fucking joke, you're a fraud. If you were part of the hip-hop culture you'd appreciate it in all forms and respect it and encourage it.

You're just a dumb fuck with a jaded opinion on what you think you are.
