It's funny how so many people out there don't remember back in the day Hip Hop Legends like Grand Master Flash, Ghetto Boyz, MC Lyte, EPMD,KRS ONE (not the technical collage in Minnesota), Guru, Beastie Boys, Kwame, Fat Boyz, NINE, Fresh Prince (without the bel air part) and DJ Jazzy Jeff and many many many more.........
all of these cats are back in the day legends and they are still making music today.....
But if you ask the average so call "Hip Hop head", they know nothing of these groups/legends or nothing about hip hop before the year 2000. Like the fad came with the new century or something.
Hip Hop turning into Rap has brought many new listeners which is good for Rap I guess, but I hate it when these so called "Hip Hop heads" hear some old sampled beat that they think it's the newest thing on earth, then I have to feel like I'm old for trying to school these young bucks(not G units) on who the hell "Black Star" or "Boogie Down Production" is yo.......
Picture this, hip hop was born one year after me, so that means I was dancing to Beat Box in my diapers.............
and most of these young bucks nowadays think Beat Box is what happens when a homeless man gets anger and starts to pound on his cardboard home
My point is this, Hip Hop has become a fad, and it has always been a culture.......

DeSeandra, 5 years ago | FlagIt IS a culture! I think if we had Hip Hop history in schools people would be able to appreciateit more not to mention understand what it really is. Hip Hop is not Rap, Rap is a form of Hip Hop but there is so much more than cars, money, sex and video hoes which is what the image of Hip Hop is today (because it is bound with Rap)...Fad is a good word for it..all I have to say is; The White Rapper Show...com e one now!!
