a bit bout hip hop

Hip Hop / rap music never fail to amaze me

this is more than simply music
some says it is a culture or subculture

consist of 4 elements :

a) emcee ( MC ) - rapping or spitting verses while the music being played
b) DJ - essential to control the ceremony and crowd, using
            old or newly electronic turntables for mixing and scratching
c) graffiti - art lovers spray or paint wall with colourful , amazing words, messages or pictures..nowadays not only walls but also cars, shoes, u name it
d) breakdancing - some moves such as 6 steps, flares, head spins while music is on

some others may add one more which is skating or associate hip hop with riding scooters but depends on which region/ continent u are..skinheads also riding scooters and punks also play skateboard..

during the hip hop booming era 1990 - 2010 maybe, clothing apparel also make hip hop
stand on it's on

du rag, baggy jeans, huge jersey, sneakers, snapback caps, wristband, necklace, hairstyle as cornrolls
distinguish this scene from the others..





but now this particular type of dressing already submerged
but the culture still live on, still connecting between various part of the world from US
to Europe cross the middle east and straight to south east asia..

i still love rap particularly if not hip hop culture as a whole..

rap is a modern poetry

u can express your own ideas, thinking, your emotion thru your music
you can spit the anger, the dpression, the hatred in positive way than rather go out and scold or knock down the person..

even rap music nowadays not only for those emotional thing but it can be used to deliver political
message, awareness, educate people , spreading Islamic message

maybe some people thought that rap only spitting a fast verse while the beat is on but that's not true
u need skills, u need creativity

there are punchlines, flow, wordplay, fast n slow ,rhyming,
 not same monotous maintain speed , that will be boring


for example :

the illbril still kill for cheap trill

unleash beast for feast make it ease



OR


this is hip hop
the flow tip top
like ferrari at the pitstop


OR

evidence element important  and relevant


nowdays many such new underground rapper such as whitney peyton, lowkey, they speak for their hard and for me underground alsways better than mainstream

becoz when u becoming mainstream, u submit to the popular demand of the people, u do it for money, always thinking how to look good and get ur album sold.no passion at all

history shows phlowtron, 50 cents, poetic ammo, k twon clan, even eminem now
becoming lame after get the fame

one of my many dreams is to have my own studio for beat making, recording songs maybe just for fun
and clothing boutique for part time business

till then still listening to rap music, sometimes i switch to nu metal ( rap plus metal eg Slipknot, Linkin Park )




some insight into hip hop culture
