Yeah I quite like his lyrics and flow, too bad most of his tracks are too rnb sounding just like most hip hop acts these days.. |

Actually hip hop originated from the four elements:
Dj
Mc
Breaking
Grafitti

Actually MCing/Rapping did not come about till a few years into HipHop. |

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 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 ed 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 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. |

Mos Def is one of my fav hip hop artists at the moment ..
And i'll always love the Jungle brothers cause that was the first hip hop act i got to see and god they're legends ..
Errr i dunno, i guess i might be an idiot too and be berated but i really like aussie hip hop, there are thee guys here, the hilltop hoods and they make some wicked rhymes imo ...
Well yeah, anyways if you've heard of em and you like em, big ups
P.S.
they had a chance to sell out to record companies in america but they stayed true and became an aussie success story helping out aussie recording companies witht here fine work |

Maybe this will help? I pulled this off the net...
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. |
