If you want to know what hip hop is...Download the track:
Sphere of Hip-Hop-Mars ILL

Possibly the dopest track ever laid down...as Soulheir the MANchild and DJ Dust say:

"It wastes all of my money and it pays all of my bills"

if nellys pop then so is eminem....and so is any emcee that ever had super stardom... pop is just short for popular...popular music sells...any emcee who sells mad units is popular...but there still emcees, which means there still hip hop....

hole closed.

so what if you dont even come up with your own material...all you basically are is a pawn on the mic...still considered part of the culture...cause on one hand you do contribute ...but on the other you dont contribute your own material...

but hiphop is a culture...all i gotta say on the subject

no.. your just a part of rap..... Hip hop is the whole lifestyle like Bare said... so if you skateboard/dress as a punk/have spikes etc. etc. but listen to rap.....

don't consider yourself hip hop - just a rap fan

i feel theres more to it than just breakdancin, raff rats, and rappers
cause you could just listen to the music and you're still
condsidered part of the culture, without break dancin or writin or rappin
don't know....
