^^thats what the question is..i fi didnt want to know everyones personal view on things i would of had the thread closed when i made it.

Hip-Hop is a culture, just like any other culture. Its like the ancient aztecs or something. They had their own clothes, music, dances, ways of speaking, outlooks on life and all that shit, so does hip-hop.

rap is a branch from hip hop.

hip hop's the lifestyle.raps the element.

rap is about persons life
hiphop is like sumthing everybody dose like from the way u act to clothing
i mean thats wat i think it is

original hip hop wasnt, but modern hip hop definitely is about having money, bein a gangsta/dealer/pimp, moving weight, killing people, fucking ho's, etc.
there are a few exceptions, but not many

hip hop=life true dat bitches

RAP as potrayed by the mainstream is pop music. the ghostwriters, simple ass topics(guns bitches, money, etc.), and overall lack of originality is not a true representation of REAL hip-hop. to me, i'm no longer a rapper. that title got twisted by the coke dealers turned wannabe gangstaz turned rappers. i consider myself to be a hip-hop artist. i flow and love the art of makin my emotions come to life in my rhymes(which is why i started writing in Poetic Scriptures). it pains me to think my aspirations of bein' a mainstream artist iz bein' ruined by people who already made it in the industry. i refuse to sell my soul(yeah my music is my heart and soul) just to make a buck. i'ma be underground bcuz to me that's where hip-hop REALLY is. the kid spittin' in the cafeteria of his schoolnot bcuz he gets paid to, but bcuz it's what he loves to do. bcuz of that kid real hip-hop will never die.

*shout to the kid rappin' at lunch, i see u, i see u boy
