I used to skate almost every day for 5 years. Never listened to much hip hop. Most the the skaters I've known have been into punk and ska actually.

Skating has fuck all to do with hip hop really. Infact, we used to get into fights with homies all the time. Dumb ass wannabes hanging round malls. Atleast we were there to skate... lol...

damn thats fucked up that no one even mentioned People Under the Stairs. they are the best hip-hop group of all time. they are amazing, basically everything they say is badass. they are #1.
but others like del, he was cool, but now too many people love his shit so its kind of a sellout type of hip-hop to listen to. tribe called quest is unreal as well. but if you have never heard people under the stairs, you need to.

Hip-hop versus rap

Are they terms for the same thing? No, says Davey D, nationally renowned hip-hop historian. He acknowledges that some people think rap is a more frivolous form of hip-hop, but thinks ''that's a false definition. One is part of a whole. Rap is part of a larger entity we call hip-hop, which is a culture.''

Hip-hop n., an American cultural movement composed of four main parts: breakdancing and graffiti art along with two more well-known aspects known as hip-hop music; they are rapping (emceeing) and DJ-ing.

Rap v., the act of saying rhymes to the actual beat of the music.

yeah, very nice..
