You know what, I was just chilling in my room the other day, and suddenly my (enormous) brain lit. I realised how powerful hip hop is. We have created sounds and manipulated the minds of thousands and brainwashed the entire world. We have created something sooo powerful. We created an athelete sport, known as breakdancing, we created an individual artisitic form that people can endure, known as graffiti art, we created a form of manipulating sounds in the music industry that no other music form which stands today, would not use, yes im talking about dj-ing. And last but not least, we created 'mcing.' It lets us express ourself, and some of what we say, might not be true, buts its poetry in a higher state of mind. Such a complex form, that when delivered people just become stunned. The creativity is the highest ever in our culture, Name one other culture which is soo active within itself, name another culture that can do the things we can? Nothing. We just soo raw, and im proud that I can be part of something sooo complex, and yet soo artisitic, soo expressive. To me, its madd-ness. Wah blow


Just wanted to know what you guys feel about our culture and shit, how much it means to you personally.

Do you guys do anything else apart from mc-ing? cus I do graffiti and art, and that helps me influence me with my rapping. What influences you?

Discuss:

the whole shit was dope until you got to this point..

.

I'm tired of having this debate already.. so i'm not going to comment on it. theres to many valid points, to make on both sides.. so we'll be here for days. all i wanna say is I LOVE Hip Hop.

k, i edited my post, due to I just realised that gold digging is debated too much. so just discuss on what iv edited aight.#


as to double-0-seven, true say bruv. I get influenced by stupid little things, like grass blowing the wind, or my g/f chatting shit too me. Thats the kinda shit I like about this culture, you can chat about anything and anyone, and anyone can relate to what your saying, cus its straight.

Good job at such a gay post man, You just permitted me to believe that hip hop is weak, because through all of that you didn't name anything exceptional. You broke down hip hop in such an ignorant and obnoxous way that you actually took the value of our culture and plunged it. Good job at being a homo.

Yea, of coarse hip-hop influences me in every way. Before i started write'n rhymes and all that I was really big into Graffin. I got really REALLY good wit that so i just wanted to expand my shit, so i started write'n around 7th-8th grade.

Yo Ayura.....you any good at graffin??? I mean like you actually can graff, cuz you know alot of heads claim they nice but have no skillz at all, hahaha. If you nice ide like to see some of your graffs....ill show you some works i did myself, 1

Hit me up on aim son...."Finotonino"

hip hop blew my mind a long time ago lol. Hip Hop is one of the best expressions of music. And the culture is sick. No other form of music got it like we got it.

That Explination Right There Can Prove So Much Punk Ass Bitches Wrong.. Hip Hop Started Wit PPL Like RunDMC And Jam Master Jay, Even The Beastie Boys....

Sorry About My Bad Language But Its True...
You Should Also Post That In Hip-Hop Lounge!
