okay i'm talkin with this kid in my house about hip hop as a style of music...

really as it's broken down you have hiphop as a culture...yea...but he's sayin that if you white you can't be part of that culture...and also that jarule is hiphop i would consider him rnb and a little generic rap based on what he raps about...guns and shit...eminem(at some points), talib kweli aesop rock common i would consider them hip hop based on the majority of their music and what the rap about...it's more political and real down to earth if you will...and he thinks that if you ain't from the hood you didn't grow up in the hiphop culture...keep in mind he is all up in ja rules ass somethin serious...

what are ya'll opinions on the definition of hiphop...
