Hip Hop - First thoughts about

Fox news Alright all ready but news flash.Cocaine is popular too."Love & Hip Hop,Housewives & Honey boo boo." Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good/ DGAME POINT: Hey O'reilly, "NOT EVERYONE IS A FAN OF FOX NEWS." I grantee most of those who suffer watching your network "Like Dgame," are only there to cement the fact that your show is a fox hole for the far-right. You and the fox Klan are repeat hypocrites,liars & manipulators of facts. "Sarah Palin, Allen West,Eric Boiling,Greg Gutfeld, Steve Doocy,Brian Kilmeade and Mygan Kelly & the Stepford Barbie list is way too long,Lol are you kidding. And Hannity,who's still wearing the same panties since Obama won in 2008. Most of your viewer know,that your Conservative comedy and your entertaining but so are the wreaks at NASCAR . Lesson over. DGAME NOTE: Lol -Ty Dgame

Hip Hop music on record is born by Fatback Band's "King Tim III", Younger Generation's "We Rap More Mellow", and The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" (Hip Hop legend Grandmaster Caz wrote the lyrics but never got credit). Important artists such as Kurtis Blow and Grandmaster Flash also begin their careers, and some of the first socio-political-conscious records arise on the Paul Winley label through chiefly Tanya Winley. Philadelphia's legendary radio personality Lady B becomes the first female rapper to have a record, and Steve Gordon's "Take My Rap" is considered to be the first white rap record. Afro-Filipino Joe Bataan creates a hit with his "Rap-O, Clap-O", the first signs of Hip Hop's diversity. Enjoy Records and Sugar Hill Records become the defining Hip Hop labels of the old school era.

HIP HOP IS DEAD. We're in the last throes. The mood now is similar to how Disco faded out. Kanye and Jay Z. are now old men...going out with stellar flops...revered but washed up. Lauryn Hill off to prison & not able to chart even with a cutting age single anymore. The NEW hip hop stars ain't worth 2 cups of warm *** Some type of NEW musical force is about to come in...who knows what...but I still remember when SUGAR HILL GANG broke through with the very first rap song in December 1979 (I had just been adopted & arrived in USA, it's the first American song I ever danced too)...and by 1984, hip hop/rap had taken over the game pushing out Disco, R&B and Rock. It was revolutionary and new back then. But now Hip Hop is on that same cusp...it's dead.

The day South African youth stop copying American Music Videos, It will snow in *** "Good kush and alcohol" but you only got Carling Black Label. Stop being copy cats. Lmao. That life needs immortal lungs, and cash. Lmao. SWAG? Wow. Skinny jean, sneaker and Trukfit. Sorry chap. That's OLD fashioned. You still crump. Cumon. When did you start listening to Hip Hop? When Kwaito died? You know weezys tracks by heart? How are the exams going? Y'all fools kill me. Lmao. You like American decoys. Copy Cats.

Hip Hop (including Rap) “For my people’s who where put on punishment for keeping the party going” I guess I should state that my favorite Hip Hop memory was when everybody had to steal a part of their parents stereo system, so that no one would be caught and we could continue our unsanctioned house party. Another was when we used to go dance challenges at the local parks around the city between the normal street soldiers, a type of peaceful inter-communal solution because otherwise we would have never went to that part of the city. Yeah those are probably my favorite memories right now about growing up in the music. The question of whether music affects it’s listening group is one that is old as society. It does. Music has been used by societies to teach, perform ritual, communicate, and even heal. One of the most heavily discussed forms of music in existence today is Hip Hop, which is broadly defined as the overarching supra-culture of contemporary urban African music and oratory cultures. At ...

Hip Hop recording artist William âNeekâ Wilson, grew up in Queens,At a young age he realized that he himself had a unique way with words, and his passion for music continued to grow from that point on. Neek was never able to seriously work on his music, Neek is now more focused than ever and he ha...

I'm assuming most people have heard the Kanye (YEEZUS) album. Heres 2 cents...I'll keep it short because its Saturday night and we all should have better things to do. Remember the Kanye that made a name looping up soul joints and rhyming from an everyday mans perspective?? Well HE AIN'T HERE and hasn't been for a while. Present day Kanye/Yeezy/Yay/Yeezus has a team of producers and writers that help him create a sound that he wouldn't be able to do on his own. He has a team or artist and fashion designers to help present his image to the public in a way that makes him seem hipper than he truly is. I take that into account whenever he released new material. Ok, onto the album. I'll start by saying that this is his weakest album lyrically without a doubt from a Hip Hop standpoint. I'm not going over individual song but he does have one that he manages to communicate better than I've heard from him in a long time. Sonically he covered a lot of bases which he has been able to do since bring all the extr ...

If you take time to read the paper or look through it, you can find out about new music by reading these articles and interviews about recording artists, singers, rappers, MCs, bands, groups, ect. My grandma keeps the Star section for me when I visit her house.

Hip Hop doesn't have to be about, Violence,Gang related material and cursing. why does it have to be right! They need a game changer. I know its all about sex,drugs money guns blah blah blah but why can't it be about Motivation,Strength,Money ,Success,Class, Style, actual life out side of the ghetto, Maybe about making it out of the ghetto and doing something good for a change instead of always complaining about being poor and living in a poor area or neighborhood.Write about positive stuff. Making a name for you,Doing good in this world. Just write about things that people want to hear not all this negative junk.

So... Was in a motor vehicle recently and the driver had a local Rap station on. The featured Mix DJ included what I assume was a remix of 'Molly.' ... Question... The artist behind the track is a reputed Corrections Officer who decided working for 'the good guys' was not rewarding anymore, so now he pretends to be a Drug Dealer. The song celebrates date rape. Most people of conscience in Hip Hop have spoken against one or both of the above factors... Why would one desire to be a part of any version of the song or supporting it?

00:1703:41 pause stop Street Smart - The Hip Hop & Rap Revolution The Hottest Rap and Hip Hop for Urban Scenes and Productions A Worldwide Social Movement -- Coming out of nowhere in the early 1980's, the Hip Hop revolution brought forth an amazing new artistic movement that has been hugely influential in music, dance, fashion, art, commerce and much more. Arising in New York and then spreading rapidly around the US and world, Hip Hop music and its vocal form, Rap music, brought the world a cool new lyrically flowing groove and style that quickly evolved into multiple new sub-genres as its evolution progressed. Over 40 Subgenres -- Now with over 40 subgenres, including East Coast, West Coast, Mid-West, Dirty South, Hispanic-influenced Reggaeton, and various foreign-influenced Rap styles, Hip Hop keeps on changing and evolving, integrating traditional music genres and producing new sounds, new styles and amazing new music to inspire the world well into the 21st century and beyond.

I was listening to one of my favorite Hip Hop revolutionary Artist “Immortal Technique” when I heard these words “Hanging pictures of dead revolutionaries on your walls and repeating wise quotes by the ones who perished for freedom doesn’t make you a revolutionary”. I have to agree with Immortal Technique on this one.. For so many of us, it seems that, we equate the knowledge of our past to our present actuality.. When in fact, some have not broken a sweat for any causes.. Before you put on Martin’s suit, Malcolm’s glasses, Harriet’s robe and wear Frederick’s afro, You must remember those people lived in a different era, thus their demands were according to their time.. It is frivolous to attempt to measure the necessity of those men/women to our present time. The ideology which Marcus Carvey shared made a lot of sense 100 years ago, however in 2013, you can’t uphold the same ideology.. The time has come for us to recalibrate our thinking process.. In my own opinion, Carvey’s philoso ...

To call Colin Dale "legendary" is no over-estimation.here is a Dj that has been one of London's most cutting edge Djs for over 20 years and still continues to surprise and marvel. Music was always a big part of the Dale family's life.Soul, Reggae, Jazz and Funk.even before Colin left school friends included Fabio, Grooverider, Dave Angel, Jumping Jack Frost and Bryan Gee.all who went on to be top Djs in their respective scenes. It all began in 1982 when Colin who was then working as a banker in the city of London began to warm up for Hip Hop supremo "Tim Westwood" at the cult Gossips nightclub in Soho playing cuts like Soul Sonic Force, Strafe, Shannon and Donna Summer. In 1985 Colin was one of the key members of the pirate radio station Kiss FM and soon after left banking to pursue a career in music and the "Abstrakt Dance" radio show was born. For 16 years "Abstrakt Dance" was a ground-breaking show which quite simply bought Techno to the masses. Guests on the show included All the UR crew, Hawtin, Ange ...

So I'm sitting here and my Ward Cleaver coworker has a habit of leaving his music on while he is away from his desk.Most of the time it's jazz or whatever.So i'm doing my work and then I notice my head was bobbing.My toes was tapping.I'm confused.I focus and now I hear the "Boom Bap" lo and behold he's on some underground Hip Hop station.This should be priceless when he gets back..

The Hip Hop Declaration of Peace If you claim to be or to live Hip Hop, you should consider this your bible. If you want to maintain and grow Hip Hop, sign the declaration and share the knowledge. ‘This document recognises Hip-Hop as an international culture of peace and prosperity. It is also a set of principles which advise all Hip-Hoppers on how to sustain the peaceful character of Hip Hop Kulture and to form worldwide peace. Additionally this declaration is meant to show Hip-Hop as a positive phenomenon which has nothing in common with the negative image of Hip Hop as something that corrupts young people and encourages them to break the law.’ The declaration is mainly created by the Universal Zulu Nation with Afrika Bambaataa and the Temple of Hip Hop with KRS-One. Until this day, I have never heard about it. Which obviously means not enough people know about, and support it. If you agree with the principles and this is what you love about Hip Hop, please do so. Below are the first 6. You can read ...

The North West is normally known for it's Rock & Roll and Grunge Music Scene with legendary artist like Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix,Alice & Chains and etc few Hip Hop artist have been known to develop in the surrounding area.Not until recently have we started seeing a Underground Hip Hop movement in the North West. L3fty and STK being a Powerhouse duo who's lyrics are not only smart and knowledgeable but also Catchy.I had a chance to see them live as they opened for Kutt Calhoun (Strange Music Artist) and they blew me away.It was a great way to open a show with their energy,crowd interaction and of course there song "North West Anthem" although they have a few years under there belt at doing what they do.They are still young in the game and hungry as ever.I recently got to ask them some personal question's and this is what they had to say.. DP : I have seen you guy's perform back in September and you guys did awesome together, what do you think it takes to be a known rap duo? STK : Well first i ...

It's done. It's done. A 26-page long index of an academic book about ... er ... Eminem and Hip Hop. I survived it. My mind is not ruined. There were no lyrics in the book.

Sewage, a street punk rock band, formed during the spring of 1991in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The band were squatters at 3BC hanging out in Tompkins Square Park involved in the riots throughout the early 1990's. Sewage performed the Pot Parade with David Peel , Onyx, and Cypress Hill (a popular Hip Hop act in 1992) and opened up the fatal final show of infamous scumrocker GG ALLIN on June 27th of 1993. GG was best known for abusing his audiance with fecal matter and abusing himself by rolling in broken glass. Sewage played ABCnoRio with Bambi as well as drunk punk band Public Nuisance. SEWAGE played other squat shows, and played with the Casualties at the 13th Street Squat. The band lived in the squats and on the streets yet were not crusties or politically correct, rather the groups members were just individuals who fought street fights, bar fights, as well as against abusive authority in a time when gentrification was starting...back when real estate influenced police to shut the neighborhood down a ...

It's a *** shame that with all that's going on, the biggest news in Hip Hop is that rapper 2 Chainz did not get robbed while visiting San Francisco. *** I was just in SF the other day and I didn't get robbed either.. Why is this news? One would hope that the big news for 2Chainz is while he was in the Bay he donated one of two chains to charity, he went to a group home to work with youth or that he's doing a new song about Trayvon or one that addresses the NSA spying drama... Which brings me to my next point, as we look at all this massive spying and surveillance of innocent people, we should keep a couple of things in mind.. First watch the media distraction where they are now getting everyone to debate whether or not Eric Snowden is a traitor or not.. vs the actual situation of us being spied upon by private corporation using govt money and resources.. Snowden is the guy who gave of us the info.. He's not the one in power.. The question should be why are private companies spying on us..what are they ...

Open Letter to Macon: I am not happy with the Hip Hop scene in Macon. In fact, from where I sit it looks extremely grotesque. We have separate movements in different sections of the city that gives the illusion of being all inclusive and yet it’s inadvertently segregating. We have a different section that completely disrespects the older veterans of the business, stating that the older “cats” refuse to allow them to get any spotlight while still holding on to this delusion of celebrity status. Conversely, we have the older generation saying that the younger generation has absolutely no respect for their elders and those that paved the way for them to even have a voice. And don’t get me started on the walls between social classes and ethnic groups, that’s an entire project in itself. With Macon being the Mecca that it “used” to be, it is almost criminal for so much talent to be walking the streets of Macon and not have valid outlets. The Monday Night Live open mic and the Open Mic Showcase at ...

Well, a lot of people within government and big business are nervous of Hip Hop and Hip Hop artists, because they speak their minds. They talk about what they see and what they feel and what they know. They reflect what's around them. Afrika Bambaataa

on May 21st, 2013 | by Rap Rehab The Solution for Mainstream Rap Music Sick of Mainstream Rap Music? Here’s the Solution! By Sebastien Elkouby In recent months, rappers Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Chief Keef have made national news for their controversial and negative lyrics. As a result, the music industry as well as other corporations who support these artists have been attacked for carelessly promoting artists who glorify dangerous and criminal behavior. Petitions, protests, boycotts and national movements have been organized to hold all guilty parties accountable for letting rap music get out of control. These actions have led to a few victories including Reebok dropping Rick Ross and PepsiCo dropping Lil Wayne. “Hip Hop activists”, myself included, understand this to be an uphill battle as rappers aggressively defend their freedom of speech, no matter how irresponsible it may be. Meanwhile the music industry makes millions from these rappers, no matter how much sex, drugs and violence they promo . ...

Hip Hop Destroying Black America? This is from our series with TheGrio.com ”Is Hip Hop Bad For Black America“ By Sebastien Elkouby Is Hip Hop Destroying Black America? To answer this question fairly, we must first discard the distorted image of Hip Hop that mainstream media has passed off for the past 20 years. Hip Hop is a movement consisting of 4 main artistic elements: DJ’ing, Rapping, Breaking and Graffiti. But at its core, it is a philosophy based on the idea that self expression is an integral part of the pursuit of peace, love and unity. It was created by young visionaries who tapped into their greatest potential and gave birth to one of the most important cultural phenomenon the world has ever seen. Shaped by the spirit of Africa, The Carribean and Black America, it is a culture that binds us under the belief that we must strive for excellence through our respective artforms, as well as within our souls. It’s a lifestyle that unites people from the U.S to Nigeria, France to Brazil, Japan t ...

This is a blog I posted a while ago. It's kind of long...if you do take the time to read it, let me know what your thoughts are about it: I have been a member of various "pro-black" organizations that I joined out of a desire to help end the violence in the Black Community and in my own life. I felt that so much information was being withheld from us, especially information that could lead to the solving of the problems affecting us on so many levels. I remember when I "found out'' about Malcolm X from Hip Hop artists in the mid-80's, what some call the "golden age" of Hip Hop due to all the diversity and creativity of that time period. It was also a time that "conscious" Hip Hop made itself popular. We were dressing in "red, black, and green" shirts, wearing medallions with the shape of Africa in the middle, rocking Malcolm X hats and saying, "By any means necessary". Public Enemy, X Clan, Poor Righteous Teachers, Brand Nubian, Queen Latifah, and many others were expressing facts and history in a w ...

Some women and their lofty, and unrealistic standards. Nothing wrong with standards at all. I definitely have a few for myself when it comes 2 women; like keeping a clean house. Respecting and embracing my role as a man. Respecting her role as a woman. Respecting our business by keeping her nosey *** wanta be her friends in check. Keeping her outside kids in check if she has any. Supporting any wholesome and realistic dreams and endeavors in life I might have. Being EMPLOYED. Being able 2 take care of and rule the kingdom if in the event some misfortune befall the King (ME). Being able 2 converse deeply or at least listen on subjects other than Love and Hip Hop, Atlanta Housewives or who doing what 2 who and why. Having her own mind and not being mindless, robotic or totally submissive. Sharing my same zeal 4 wanting something in life. Being polite and respectful. Being a lady at all times in the public and in private (excluding the bedroom). Keeping herself pretty, clean, and presentable at all times. An ...

John and Alyssa have been partners for about a year and a half. John has been dancing West Coast Swing for the better part of a decade, almost the same as the age difference between him and Alyssa. When he began to teach, he quickly became one of Canada’s best dancers and instructors. He has traveled around North America and Europe spreading his personal love for Swing. All his students love his playful personality and the connection he makes with the music. Alyssa started West Coast about 5 years ago, and immediately fell in love with the dance, especially the creative aspect drawn from other dances. She has experience in Lindyhop, Hip Hop, Ballroom, Jazz, and Ballet. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area has given her many opportunities to teach and grow in her own dance, and yet she chose to dance with John… They both compete on the Swing Circuit in the Champions division. Together their partnership emphasizes musicality and connection. They made finals with their first routine at this past US Open, ...

I am so thankful to Psalm 23 Ministry for teaching me that I was watching the wrong programs on tv & listening to the wrong music. Now I still do love my Hip Hop but it has to be Christian Hip Hop & Christian Rap. No more negative music with all that cussing & degrading women stuff. You can become rich & famous as a singer without all the sex talk & cussing. Children should be listening to that & parents should control what videos children should watch especially with all the negativity in music & tv. Thank you Jesus for helping me spread the word about this & for helping me learn from you.

is success! If you have good quality music (R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, Crunk, Neo-Soul) with a professional mix inbox me only serious inquiries. I'm willing to put your music directly in the hands of a Platinum Music Producer out of Atlanta that's looking for talented artist for his label. He has produced for Beyonce, Nelly, Ciara, Fergie, Lloyd, Kelly Rowland, Ti, Usher just to name a few. Remember, your music has to speak for you not me. It's all about helping & I'm the one! PEACE & BLESSINGS TO ALL...

Let me jump right to it today was a great night for Hip Hop in Madison. Allow me to elaborate further today we had 24 producers enter the Beat Battle today which was huge because its the most producers I have seen in one battle in a long time in Madison, not to mention every beat from top to bottom was hot. Next the entire building was full which was great but what was also a little disappointing as well because I wish more artist were in attendance. We had Chris Godxilla Taylor II who is the Associate Dean for Madison Media Institute, DJ PAIN 1 who I should have to explain who he is but I will he has produced for 50 Cent, Young Jeezy, 2 Chainz, and many more, but the special guest was Ivan Rivera if you don't know who he was he is the manager for the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League who has produced for( Drake, Young Jeezy, Keyshia Cole, Mary J. Blige, Rick Ross, Nas, Jay-Z, Lloyd Banks, 50 Cent, Tech N9ne, Jay Rock, Yelawolf, and many other artists). All three gave a ton of knowledge during the panel session b ...

Born and Raised in Gadsden, Alabama I make Hip Hop music with a touch of R&B I've been writing music since I was 12 years old In school I use to pretend like I was taking notes when really I was just writing music every single day When I was 13 I started recording myself over instrumentals on a karoake machine via cassette tape. I use to pass out the tapes and not even tell people it was me like hey just check this out. I went to Emma Sansom High School. I use to freestyle on the football bus and outside of the gym I entered a freestyle contest that was 50$ a friday on Tuscaloosa Avenueat the Elks Lodge when I was 15 years old and won 7 consecutive weeks going against 10+ people a night before I just got tired of going. I once had a segment on 103.7 the Q with Nick Nice when I was 16 called ...

There is so much history with gospel music starting with the slaves. Back then gospel music told them when it was time to go (it ran the under ground rail road). From those songs came the Blues, Jazz, R&B, Rock, Hip Hop, and Soul. With out them America would not have any original music.

You Never Heard Of Roy Kinsey BIOGRAPHY I'm Roy Kinsey. Born in Chicago in the fall of 1985. I've always been fond of expressing myself through writing. I got that from my parents. My very intelligent and musical parents. Natural performers. My mother and grandmother used to write the lyrics to Whitney Houston's first album to learn the lyrics. I think that showed me the importance of words. I'm a Lyricist. I've recently decided to put everything I have into my craft. A small refuge made me realize that I want to dedicate my life to music. My very first concert was in 6th grade. I went to the Chicago Theater with my younger brother to see Faith Evans, Case, Total, and Dru Hill. My first Hip Hop concert though, was on the Roc the Mic Tour with Jay-Z. Just being at these shows, seeing the crowd respond to the performers, and watching how they created those moments on stage that I would remember forever, I knew, right then, that it was something I wanted to do with my life, and with my music. When I was in H ...

A Brief History of Nu Metal To me the main difference between “NU Metal” and “Traditional Metal” is that Nu Metal is about the Groove while traditional Metal is about the riff. Also you could say that Thrash Bands like Metallica and the like more typically make more complex music and arrangements but this isn’t always the case. Bands like Hed Pe, Slipknot and Incubus make very complex music still although they use different elements musically such as Decks, keys and samples beside the guitars. Obviously the main creation of the genre known as Nu Metal is when young, mostly American, rock bands embraced Hip Hop and incorporated the bass grooves and beats of rap into a more stripped down version of the metal they’d grown up with ,sometimes with actual Mc Vocals and even scratch deck Dj’s in the case of bands like “Limp Bizkit” and the “Blood Hound Gang”. The truth though is the movement had started sometime before this. There’s a handful of groups who pioneered the blending of the tw ...

Have to say its nice to be able to play original music at gig's...Dont get me wrong i Love playing other peoples music. There is a lot of good music out there . You have to dig for the gems . one song or track can lead to a whole new world of music. Hip Hop is one of my favorite genres . Some people don't realize how much good hip hop is out there cause they don't dig.. There's also the whole confusing rap and hip hop that end's up turning people away from Hip hop cause they group it all together.In the word of KrS One "rap is something you do, Hip hop is something you live". Dig deep in the create's if u love music. Much peace!

So the government is spying on us? When the few of us Americans that are actually awake and paying attention were saying this and warning about FISA we were labeled as crazy conspiracy theorists, while they fed the rest of us Love and Hip Hop and American Idol, keep thinking everything is sweet. Remember this post and the retina/dna scans coming soon to a workforce near you!! But we crazy right?

The third and final instalment of the history of Hip Hop. I hope I've inspired to continue the research on your own. 2004 to present is up to you! 2000 Outkast continues to sit at the cutting edge of mainstream hip-hop with their fourth disc, "Stankonia." Equally as praised as their previous work; and containing their two biggest commercial hits thus far, the group goes from critics' darlings to superstars. The West Coast alt-rap scene experiences a rebirth with "Quality Control," the debut album by a six(?)-man crew called Jurassic 5. Eminem's second album, "The Marshall Mathers LP", is a huge hit, (eventually becoming one of the best-selling rap albums of all-time.) A more personal album than his previous one, (but even more inflammatory), it catapults Em into rap superstardom and more controversy for his homophobic lyrics. Despite a small backlash among some accusing him of cultural piracy; he maintains credibility in the hip-hop community while remaining immensely popular (and controversial) outside o ...

I miss playing Blues music. The Blues Brothers movie showed me a lot! As a kid, in that movie, Willie Hall was my dude on drums. To my surprise I was playing on a Blues gig when I got noticed by Arrested Development. That really says a lot about my playing. Doing a Blues gig getting noticed by a hip hop band! Versatility is virtue! Come out the box. From Gospel to World Music, From World Music to R&B/Motown. From R&B/Motown to Stage Plays. From Stage Plays to Contemporary Jazz. From Contemporary Jazz to Fusion Jazz. From Fusion Jazz to Hard Rock. From Hard Rock to Greek/Alternative/Pop. From Greek/Alternative/Pop to Hip Hop. From Hip Hop to Country(YEEE HAWW!!)LMAO From Country to Funk. From Funk back to Hip Hop...

When finding TRUE soulmate love... does race matter? EVE (the rapper) met & fell in love with a white man who she says treats her like a QUEEN. She's happy, but a lot of people are being judgmental of her situation. Seems like people Would people rather see her still with Stevie J from Love & Hip Hop (just because he's black). You see how that turned out for MeMe. There was a recent study that showed Statistics "proving" that Black women are the LEAST likely of any group of people on planet earth to date outside their race. Now in 2013... Black women are being "advised" to step outside the box and consider OTHER options, because Statistics also show that single Black women are out numbering single Black men (due to jail, gun violence...etc)... Your thoughts?

Harsh but True... I have already decided that this post is probably not going to be too popular but.. oh well. Seems to me that too much emphasis is put on being "popular". We all remember Jr. High and High School. Some of us maybe had popularity and most of us remember being the ones chasing it like the Holy Grail. Why? Because it feels good to be accepted and liked and ..well.. chased like the Holy Grail. I remember feeling like I had to make everyone like me. I remember trying to be funny with the class clowns, Intellectual with the straight A's, Chain smoking bad girl with the burnouts, Hip Hop loving white girl...well, you get the picture. It was exhausting. I remember trying to figure out "who I was". It is too cliche'. Why do we continue this behavior into adulthood? Well, because the need to be "liked", "accepted", chased like the Holy Grail it a tough habit to break. We have these needs deep down that we attempted to medicate with people pleasing. It rears it's ugly head in the most ...

Hip hop is a broad conglomerate of artistic forms that originated as a specific street subculture within South Bronx communities during the 1970s in New York City, It is characterized by four distinct elements, all of which represent the different manifestations of the culture: rap music (aural), turntablism or "DJing" (aural), breaking (physical) and graffiti art (visual). Despite their contrasting methods of execution, they find unity in their common association to the poverty and violence underlying the historical context that birthed the culture. It was as a means of providing a reactionary outlet from such urban hardship that "Hip Hop" initially functioned, a form of self-expression that could reflect upon, proclaim an alternative to, try and challenge or merely evoke the mood of the circumstances of such an environment. Even while it continues in contemporary history to develop globally in a flourishing myriad of diverse styles, these foundational elements provide stability and coherence to the cult ...

Didnt write this to scare anyone or to force anyone to do anything, but the truth hurts, and I hope you all make the right decisions. On October 9, it has come to my attention that Hip Hop and R&B, the music that we enjoy so much, is so evil that it has blinded us from actually seeing the truth!! YES!! THE MUSIC THAT WE ENJOY IS EVIL!! NO!! ITS NOT ONLY ROCK MUSIC, BUT HIP HOP AND R&B!! Hip hop has so many subliminal messages in it and it is scary because the messages are so obvious, but we are only figuring it out now because we just understood the truth and when I first heard this, tears flowed out my eyes cause it is the horrifying truth. Singers like Alicia keys, Jay z, deAngelo, india irie, snoop dog, erikah badu.etc . just read this u would see what am talkin about You dont believe me? Just listen to the CD The Gray Album! Track 11, the interlude to Lucifer, Jay-Z or should I say Jay-Hova (Jehoviah) says some pretty disturbing things! You wont hear it if you play it forwards, but play it backwards a ...

Council of Hip Hop Movement. AN INTRODUCTION TO HIP HOP When people think of hip-hop they tend to think of rap music and its related activities. For most people hip-hop is a popular music genre, and this is how most people approach hip-hop. Regardless as to how the original founders of Hip Hop depict and interpret THEIR culture, most professors and activists alike approach hip-hop in the way that mainstream corporations approach it—as a product to be bought and sold. Because of this, those who practice the artistic elements of Hip Hop as well as those who may teach some aspect of hip-hop limit themselves to a corporate point of view where hip-hop is approached as an object to be sold, and not as a subject to be learned. Such a limited view of Hip Hop is then perpetuated in the academic arena where objectivity sets the foundation for how anyone approaches anything. As a result, when it comes to the actual teaching of real Hip Hop, many professors fall short because they don’t actually LIVE Hiphop; they ...

Rocked on stage tonight in ATL w/ LL Cool J, Chuck D and Ludacris. Place was going OFF! Humbled to be up there working the decks with these cats. Living my dream...

And a BIG UP to all of you who've supported and been down with my journey too. Appreciate you... Much love! Peace!

1970 to 1989. If you like rap music, learn how it came to be through a Kulture called Hip Hop (note I used a K in culture and didn't hyphenate the word Hip Hop. I also capitalized both H's) Enjoy the history lesson. 1970 The Last Poets release their eponymous debut album. It's combination of spare funk and aggressive, socially-conscious spoken word will be an early brick in the foundation of what would come to be hip-hop. James Brown releases 'The Big Payback', an early funk gem that emphasizes the groove rather than melody over his aggressively spoken vocals. A young immigrant from Kingston, Jamaica named Clive Campbell begins deejaying at local parties. As DJ Kool Herc, he invents a new technique of deejaying that would cut two of the same records and extend the middle instrumental, or 'break,' of the popular funk and disco songs of the day. 1972 DJ Hollywood, a club DJ from Manhattan; begins rhyming over popular disco hits at his trendy night spots. It is alleged that Hollywood coins the term 'hip-hop' ...

Sometimes you have to wonder if Lil' Kim secretly wishes she was a member of the Jackson family. The one-time Queen of Hip Hop has altered her face so many times, she's almost unrecognizable.

I ! DID ! IT ! I have done the Zumba Exhilarate Dvd step by step all the way thur. It was a toughy but I never gave up. I have now done it for 4 days & boy is it *** the knees & legs. I thought Zumba Gold was tough, but this is HARD. All the dances are from the Gold dvd however its all put to the Latin/rhythm music & they start you out slow, then a little faster & then full speed ahead, I have trouble with the Hip Hop on the full speed but I don't give up. This Exhilarate workout comes with 7 dvd's 1.) step by step where it breaks all the dances down so you can do them, 2.) Activate which is the dvd to get you started...3.) Ripped. (Body sculpting...4.) Exhilarate the original full length fitness workout.5.) Rush.work out to amp you up.6.) Mix... a rhythmic journey around the world.7.) fitness-concert the party live. it will take me quite awhile to get thur all these but I will give it my best shot.

Hip Hop was never dead. Our lady Hip Hop was aggressively violated by a force named "Pop". A repeat offender. That event, in turn, birthed "Hip-Pop". This adolescent *** is now polluting the radio waves with its presence...to which the nation, of not the world, is accustomed to.

If Yosemite had anything to do with Hip Hop they would shut it down and take away its permits. It seems like every other month, someone is dying at Yosemite. Oh yeah...its socially responsible for white people to kill themselves doing crazy things.

I’ve been taking online college courses with Scifa’s Bride, Lena. The course is called Massive Open Online Course or MOOC . We had to combine MOOC’s version of a Harvard Business degree with Scifa’s parallel learning technique for our own standard model, so we can teach it to children through 3D games that increase IQ. While the division I’m preparing to run is fashion technology based, Lena’s productions will largely revolve around these children. And it’s getting easier for us to connect the dots now that we’ve developed our first parallel learning video game for 3D/4D mobilities: Hip Hop roundup 123. “We’re at 60 megawatts of roaming coverage” Lena informed, cuing me in on my mobile investment. Soon every voice that uses our holographic cell phones will be converted into 999 megahertz of coverage. The brainwaves extracted from these voices will transmit 999 gigahertz of a holographic server. And the hormonal frequency extractions will be transformed into 999 terahertz of a hologra ...

I consider Kendrick Lamar a standup guy and MC especially for hitting a NY based Summer Jam set and allowing Papoose to crash the end of his set, pissing off Ebro the Program Director. This is what Hip Hop should be about. NO RULES, give the people a show, and uplift each other by spreading love in this manner. This is why he's one of my favorite rappers out there right now.

Scarface (the rapper with REAL TALENT from Houston) has videos out stating his point of view of hip hop culture. He basically says that Hip Hop has turned White and he has no desire to participate in the culture as it stands today. Some White people have responded, such as Iggy Azalea. I'm no fan of Iggy Azalea. She says that Hip Hop should be enjoyed by all people... sure... but the problem is she's not Hip Hop, she's pop. They (or maybe herself) dresses her up as "Hip Hop" but its POP music. There is no doubt about it. She *** and odds are is that she just *** because she has displayed ZERO talent. Not saying she has none, cause I don't know her. But from what I've heard, I hate it. Iggy Azalea's music exists in the grey area where the perception between Hip Hop and Pop gets blurred. You have Hip Hop on one side, Pop on the other side. Then you have this "grey area"... the highly commercialized, highly targeted, extremely sucky zone of musical death. These are the songs th ...

Musical Love I have played all 88 keys on the keyboard in various combinations and still have not found a chord that strikes me as much as you. And quite honestly, You and me mathematically, should only be 2 part harmony but what I feel in me vibrates ten times more fervently than that of a 20 piece orchestra playing a symphony. Conducted by warm hands gently plucking the strings of my heart, like the passion of a Mariachi desperado playing Spanish guitar. Desires crescendo in my chest, keeping rhythm like a Flamingo dancers steps ... speed up...slow down...rest. I have listened to Teena Marie, Sade, Patti Labelle, Sara Vaughn -but still none them turns me on like you do when you sing your song, softly and tenderly in my ear, that ends with the sweet refrain from a silent tear that you've kept inside, and in the background Sade sings Love is Stronger Than Pride. And is it just me or is it you also, that can relate to every song on the radio when Love is in season? I went from Hip Hop to Smooth Jazz the .. ...

Lucky D has already ripped the stage down at numerous events. Performing along side of many major and upcoming artists, such as Trina, Reakwon and Ghost face Killah, Brick Squad, Gorilla Zoë, and many local concerts, that has created a huge demand for Lucky D’s upcoming debut release, “Cursed From Birth” which was produced by platinum producer Mike Mosley (Steady Mobbin Productions) whose credits include 2pac, E-40, TQ, C-BO, Keek Da Sneek, Outlawz, and many more.

"In order to love Hip Hop, to understand Hip Hop, you have to study it's roots and where it came from in order to live it and love it fully." Do you agree? Disagree? Why? I'm not sure. I know people who don't know much about Hip-Hop's roots at all, but love what they do know. Is that not acceptable?

Real Artists. Real Hip Hop. We go behind the scenes with real hip hop artists to get their story, what's behind the music, why they do... what they do. We'll also take a look into the latest hip hop music coming out in the Christian industry.

My mind was wandering earlier (as usual) while I was turning up my sexy (shaving) and I asked myself what my 5 favorite Hip Hop albums of all time are. And I actually narrowed it down to 5. Not the best per se, but my favorite. The ones that speak to my soul...not necessarily in this order: 1) Ice Cube - Death Certificate 2) Outkast - Aquemini 3) Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt 4) Nas -Illmatic 5) 2Pac - Me Against The World What's your fave 5?

I like to view "Hip Hop" as a biblical war, there's a good side and a dark side. To sign your soul over to the devil is to follow trends to impress, to become a puppet of the industry, to promote negative ways and mostly of all, to become only a face of somebody else's art. The mainstream media is similar to Sodom and Gomorrah, it spreads evil throughout this world without anybody noticing, but it will end up self destructing due to the vile ways its portrayed itself. Nobody opens their eyes to notice the hatred they're really promoting. Why? Because we were brought up to think it's alright. By MTV, BET, Fuse and plenty other channels, not only including Hip Hop, or music. We need to stand up, rise, and make a difference. We don't need time, we don't need weapons. All we need, is an interest in the future of Hip Hop, the future of music, and the future of our world as a whole. Make a change, make a difference. It starts here.

Being Hip Hop is more than meets the eye. Perceive it how you want but never overlook the hard work, passion and sense of community that makes this artform a way of life like none other. It is a reflection of society, a voice for the voiceless and at times polar opposites that seem to contradict themselves. That is Hip Hop. The Activist. The Prostitute. The Child. The Traveller. The Lover. The Fighter. Hip Hop is all of it. Love it or Hate it. It's Hip Hop. But never forget.. it's BIGGER than Hip Hop.

Scarface Says Whites Control And Destroy Hip Hop And It’ll Be Stolen Like Rock N Roll In 25 Years May 7, 2013 Legendary Houston rapper and President of Def Jam South, Brad Jordan aka Scarface, recently did an interview saying Hip Hop will be white in 25 years. In the interview, Scarface talks about the Jews that run the music business and how he believes it’s a conspiracy to destroy black culture. He also makes a connection between the white takeover of Rock N Roll and how the same thing is happening to Hip Hop. “The people in control of Hip Hop are so f___ing white and so f___ing Jewish, they don’t give a f__ about what the culture is about. I want to make this as offensive as possible for the old *** punks who are running the record labels…and dictate what the black community hears. I hate that s__t it pisses me off. There no f___ing way you can tell me it’s not a conspiracy. You put out a bunch of records that make us look dumb and stupid. You brainwash a generation of Hip Hoppers with this ...

I am tired of trying figure out all of these Hip Hop words. Music has really ruined it for a lot of people because talking in Hip Hop is all that they understand. I came from the Morris Day, Prince, Skyy, Michael Jackson, Sade, Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey, Howard Hewitt, Surface, Keith Sweat, R Kelly, Mary J Blige, Teddy Riley, Teddy Pendergrass era not the Lil Wayne, Lil Boosie, Lil Bow Wow. I am sorry but it was real music in my time. All they talk about these days is money, drugs and garden tools and the sad part about it; the Rappers are making millions off of y'all then talk about how they got money and you don't. Cold Blooded ( in my Rick James voice)

DMC And Wayne Static of Static-X Join Forces To Shoot Video For New Track "Noise Revolution" DMC of the legendary RUN-DMC and Wayne Static will be shooting a video for a new track entitled "Noise Revolution" in the coming weeks. DMC, one of the pioneers of Hip Hop music is also credited as being the first to blend rock with rap most notably with a RUN-DMC rendition of "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith which also featured vocals by Steven Tyler. Once again DMC looks to break new ground by synthesizing the industrial sound of Wayne Static's undeniable vocal approach with his trail blazing rap style. The video will be directed by Matt Zane (Wayne Static, Zakk Wylde, Orgy, Society 1, Annihilated) "The Noise Revolution song and video is a powerful statement that shows that our art and creativity is the most important representation of the people.

Up Doc? (Can We Rock) - Fu Schnickens featuring Shaquille O'Neal -Released June 8, 1993 and Produced by K-Cut -The song had been originally titled "What's Up Doc?" and featured only the Fu-Schnickens performing. It had featured a sample of Bugs Bunny saying his famous catchphrase, but the group could not get sample clearance from Warner Bros. to use it in the song -Shaq had stated in interviews that he was a big fan of the Fu Schnickens so they contacted him about a collaboration and he ended up working on the track, adding the final verse -The song became top-40 hit, peaking at No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 -I think the song exemplifies 90's Hip Hop with the 2nd verse especially showcasing how 90s artists were experimenting with different lyrical styles, with rapid-fire delivery, heavy usage of alliteration, similes, metaphors, and references to 60s and 70s pop culture Enjoy

Everytime you have a discussion about Pac & Big people have to bring up Tupacs political, spiritual beliefs & his acting. Real rap B.I.G didn't need any of that. Thats how dope he was. Pac knew he couldn't swing lyrical swords with B.I.G. Thats why on Hit Em UP he said everything EXCEPT: "Your Rhymes Are Corny". Pac still holds a spot in my personal Hip Hop hall of fame but come on as a rapper he was inferior to B.I.G. Im not talking acting or speeches. Im talking about straight up rhyming. They were NOT equal

I'm going to say something...and its probably not going to be popular...and it's gonna sound a bit preachy... Kanye West has officially lost his mind calling his album "Yeezus" (it was originally rumored to be called "I am God")...first he puts out a song called "Mercy" but makes references to *** (weeping and gnashing of teeth)...confusing the two behind a nice beat and catchy chorus...and then he puts out this album a year later... I for one have been guilty in the past of being inconsistent with my music choices, and my personal convictions...and I've been slowly but surely walking away from these artistic statements (no matter how cool they maybe)...I can't remember the last time I've bought a rap album...I still believe in Hip Hop (there's a difference)...most recently copping music from a group called "The Foreign Exchange"...but at some point fans have got to put artist on notice and make a statement with their dollars by not supporting things that flies directly against your faith. I would never . ...

Stoped by Murphys for gas. Some dudes are out front selling CDs and as im getting in the car one of them comes up and asked me what my favorit kind of music is. "Heavy Metal Thrash" i said. "Do you like Hip Hop and Country?" he asked. " You, aaa mean, like, together ?" I asked with visions of bar-b-q sauce and vanilla ice cream in my head. So he says " YEA! Its awesome man! Its really catchen on and its gonna be big". So i ask, " Does it sound like DEMON HUNTER or PANTARA?". To which he replied " no, not really". I said, "good by".

You wear Uzzi, guess, levis etc, they say there are created for satanism, you play Hip Hop, R&B and Gospel, they say, its for satanism, You went to KFC, Wimpy etc, they said, those foods are for satanism, You use headsets to play music, they said its for satanism..what the *** is going on earth?? How are we supposed to live, if everything is for satanism, I'm sick and tired of these things, Pastors & Christians are supposed to preach Gospel not to corrupt the world. is ur view on this matter?? *Are those things FACTS OR OPINIONS??

To be honest Churches need to implement Hip Hop & Rap. So many young adults are bored and can't relate to the worship of today. If I were not a Christian it would be hard for me to be in a Church. I'm not saying I hate other music, I love it. I'm just saying that we are missing so many people who come to Church yet don't know about an alternative kind of Hip Hop. Unless Churches do Hip Hop or people evangelize in a Hip Hop way than so many people will be un touched. Heck, even other forms of music.. Metal. Supertones, Reggae and others. P.S. didn't Rock once have a bad name also.

Just back from seeing The Great Gatsby, and I have to say I loved it. As much as it kills me to type these words, I have to give kudos to Baz Luhrmann vibrantly bringing Gatsby to life, with an air of mystery intact. The film definitely has it's flaws (zero chemistry between Leo and Carrie), but the superb art direction, and costume design were genius. For all of it's bells and whistles, the film is a surprisingly faithful adaptation of the novel, with much of the dialogue lifted directly from the source. I still don't think Carrie Mulligan is particularly beautiful, but I think she was great as Daisy, which is essentially a hollow character at best. She has a natural charm tho, so I could suspend my initial disbelief that two rich dudes are so obsessed with her.;) I thought I would hate the use of contemporary music, but it was seamlessly integrated into the film, and felt real to the era. Hip Hop was the Jazz of the 20's, so his decision to use it was actually pretty inspired. I guess this means I hate ...

Future Plans... Start a night with an open format for music listeners & appreciators to come out & enjoy many different forms, styles, & genres of music. It will have a dance floor, but it won't be based around that & definitely won't be built around popular club hip hop, top 40, or even hip hop in general (although some Hip Hop will be in rotation). That being said, if you are open minded & really love GOOD music, it will make you wanna dance, but it could be kinda loungy too. Now I just gotta find a venue & some like minded people that share the same vision to support this.

Getting back to my roots eventually will be a couple of things, coming back to Washington and bring a good vibe. Secondly, going back to my REZ to clean up. Business venture in the Badlands, buying back soverienty in the BadLands for a runway and overhaul facility with a paint hanger. Federal Law's would be more lenient on the guidelines. Gotta get my REZ to invest in the project and eventually if we can get some hangers to build new shuttles, get a town going sponsored by all four REZ's in the state. I know the business, but can we make some money for our reservations and business wise the state would get a percentage, that's how things work even in Hollywood, Hip Hop. I will use my image to do good. A smaller paine field with North Dakota and Washington connected to each other, my home states.

My Baby (Chapter 1) *Roc P.O.V* We pulled up outside of Whitney Houston's Performing Arts School (fake) and went inside.

People in Atlanta just won't chill. I get told that I look just like Mimi from Love and Hip Hop at least three times a day now. I know people. Funny story, the first time that I saw her was on the Season 1 reunion show and the first thing that I said was, "Wow, she's gorg." Lolol.
