^nas said it: hiphop is the Ancient Manifested. for those who have eyes to see

I gain what I put into it….that is either mentally or physically…The social force is only in the roots of a generation or two, it does not hold ransom my existence or being in nature….Therefore I step back and process what all this means….

^^
I CAN say. proudly, that Hip-Hop PARTIALLY defines me, because it i s a part of me, but MORE important, I am a part of Hip-Hop. I embraced it, because, at times it was all I had. No emo, just truth. But my children define me, my CHARACTER defines me. No man is defined by ONE thing, IMO. Of course, there are folks in History who ARE defined by single acts but looking at a person’s life ,objectively, many things make up a human. My feelings, above all, are this:
Life is truly made up of Good memories and Bad memories. As long as you’ve had more good times than bad, you’re ahead of the game. Of course I CANNOT speak for all the folks who died in bondage, of things not of thier own doing and infants. I speak for me. And so far Hip-Hop has brought me more good memories than bad. So have my children, so far. Alot of shit has disappointed me, but not my culture….

Cool I can dig it…

So when you say you are part of hip-hop, are you inclined to believe that Hip-hop is liking to a religion?….Because the nebulous force that is shared in a community form links hip-hop almost as a form of religion.

I value the music, but the culture and I co-exist physically,..Internally the culture represents a part of my existence mentally…It does not define who I am, and how I process and think….My existence is much important than a collective spirit of a blip called hip-hip, which is a part of the whole in Black music….

I gain what I put into it….that is either mentally or physically…The social force is only in the roots of a generation or two, it does not hold ransom my existence or being in nature….Therefore I step back and process what all this means….

I view the culture and appreciate it for what it is, but it is not the definition of a black man, there hip-hop is a sacred painting on my wall that I preserve..

How will YOU ensure the survival of Hip-Hop?

^^I’m gonna download me a couple of ringtones and do the motorcycle dance….holla
^^^^

I’ll bet you’ll ensure the survival of Hip-Hop by doing the “Beyonce Ut Oh” dance in some pum-pum shorts to the Too Live Crew’s “Me So Horny”.

LMAO!!!!

“Don’t know why/
Every time I pee I cry/
Ghonorrea/
Pain up in my urethra/
Since I was trickin’ that night…..

Okay. YOU don’t value the culture. But, thankfully, the culture’s survival doe NOT depend EXCLUSIVELY with you or me. There are folks out there that feel as you do, but I’m quite sure that there are MORE that feel as I do. They tried to kill jazz, callin’ it “drug music” or “beatnik” music but thankfully it survived. What do you want form Hip-Hop? As a culture? Do YOU feel as though you’ve “outgrown” the culture ? Or have your intellectual boundries been expanded “pass” the culture? I’m glad I have the intellect to appreciate Mozart, Miles Davis. Jellyroll Morton, AND Preemo. I just relate to Preemo more. Don’t get it twisted. “Morning” by Al Jareau and “Mighty Love” by the Spinners will STILL be played at my wake. But They ALSO gotta play “Brand New Funk” by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Believe dat…
