"This kid is the coolest"

My young people are so confused now days. What is hip-hop? lots of people don't even know. Do I? Wiki says "Hip hop is a cultural movement which developed in New York City in the early 1970s primarily among African Americans and Latin Americans. Hip hop's four main elements are MCing (often called rapping), DJing,graffiti writing, and breakdancing. Other elements include beat boxing, hip hop fashion, and slang. Since first emerging in the Bronx, the lifestyle of hip hop culture has spread around the world." I think hip-hop is when a lyricist speaks firmly on issues of the world and life experiences. Not about how much money you have, how many hoes you got, how many diamonds

are on your chain, or how ya chevy sittin high. Lots of rappers have come to rap for what appeals to the new school. I have no respect for those rappers. I wish i
was born in 1980, hip-hop was on 1000 back then. I get down wit A Tribe Called Quest, Common, Black Star, C.L. Smooth & Pete Rock, Das EFX, De La Soul, LL Cool J, Mos Def, Nas, Mc Lyte, Queen Latifa, The Pharcyde, Run DMC, B.I.G., Skee Low, Slick Rick, The Roots, KMD, Q-Tip, Souls of Mischief... I could go on forever. I can live of this music alone. Lets get at the new school.
