What Does Rap/Hip-Hop Mean To You?

?

To Me Rap/Hip-Hop Represents Free Speech, Free Expression, The Words! The Only Genre That Brings The Music Straight Off The Streets, Straight From The "Victims" Mouths!

People Like Jay-Z, Even Eminem Now, Have Sold The Game out, They Think Now That They Are Bigger Than Hip-Hop, Bigger Than Us The Real Rappers Freestyling On Street Corners!

What Does It Mean To You? Do You Listen To It beacsue You See People Like 50 On T.v Every 5 Mins, Or Do You Listen To It Because You Can relate To It!

it means an expression...a sence of the only true freedom i have a way to vent poetic consept to a rhythm yet also the inability tohave my words and concepts understood by others who would outcats me if i trojected myself this way in person.

rap is freedom to vent.
it is an art the papeers my canvas and i have complete control of what picure i want to paint how detailed and how colorful my words can be.

its a way of communication.. an artform(way of expression).. and a culture...

music...

rap means music i love

hip hop means lifestyle i live

Not As Much As You Might Think....

Its Just What I Listen To And A Way To Get My Frame Of Mind Portraited.... Simple Enough... *Shrugs And Leaves*

Somethin' to listen to when ur pissed off, or down a lil', or ya just feel like vibin'. Hip-hop is the soul of me.

word^

my main music....plays a large part in my life
and helps me to keep my writing skills up to scratch and improve
also helps with emotions like doing open mics etc on them

it helps me think when im doin somethin

its like i can listen to it for ever wit out stoppin

when im mad it makes me cool down and just listen
if there was no rap/or hip hop i dont know wat id do

its a freedom of speech it sets u free dont think u can get that anywhere else besides hip-hop or rap

you dont know jack shit about what eminem and jay-z "think", are you physic? no, shut the fuck then. eminem set up a fucking battle championship and had it televised so people could see under emcees battle onstage. consider yourself merked.

hip-hop is the best music form for expressing feelings verbally there is.

its an art, that is catching on, and is blowin up the music industry. Some songs are deep, some are about rage. Expression, I guess thats what Im trying to say. Rap/Hip Hop is expression to me.

An art form and culture that i appreciate and like.

Though i know quite a few would change the like to a love for themselves. And i appreciate that too..(?!)..
