What is Hip-Hop?


So today I am in the house chilling listening to the new Wale song I mentioned in my previous post, and I just pondered to myself...What is Hip- Hop? Now some might mention Big daddy Kane, KRS-One, Biggie, Tupac, Jay-Z, and Big L. Yes, they can be called the pioneers of rap music but I am talking about the now. When I say "Hip-Hop" what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it some snap rap song that has repetitive lyrics, used in almost every song? Or is it some kind of Autotune song that is featured in every other song on the radio?

Well let me explain what Hip-Hop is to me. Hip hop is a lyricist, such as Wale. His verses can twist your mind into another dimension. For example his song off of The Mixtape About Nothing ,called The Kramer. This song tells a story about how the word "Nigger/Nigga" is used in our society today and how it is impossible to stop it. Damn I love this song, when you get a chance please listen to it.

Anyway, lyricists don't get the shine they deserve, they get pushed to he back because of the brainwashed public. I would boycott the radio, but there are still some stations that are not bombarded with Wayne, Pain, and Soulja Boy. Just saying, if you are one of those Stanky Leg and Swagg on lovers, take the time out to actually listen to the lyrics, you will find that they are saying absolutely nothing of any value. Just saying.


Recorded a new song "So Much Greater"
