I would like to hear what everyone thinks about Rap and Hip Hop in general. I know lately
Rap and Hip Hop have gotten a bad label but with some of the fools out there its not surprising.
Don’t mistake the mainstream crap on televison and the radio fool you into believing shooting people, showing off money, wearing jewelry (bling), and pimping is all Rap and Hip-Hop have to offer. Truth be told that stuff started with west coast gangster rap. Rap and Hip Hop back east wasn’t like that. They do that stuff because it sells most a lot of them who spit it don’t believe it.
There are a lot of idiots out who take the stuff too far. I know people who say “I know black people who say Rap and Hip Hop make all people look bad” . Well I got news for you either you are talk tp a complete Dumb-Ass, A black person who does know what real Rap or Hip Hop is, Or you are lying and just saying your know an African-American so you can dis the art. Believe it or not that crazy stuff you see on mainstream entertainment Suburban America 65% to 75% of that stuff most of you won’t believe but that stuff out there is 1.5 billion a year industry be corporations have their hands in it. Dude think about with all the complaining going about it don’t you think they would try and stifle it. But it is making to much money and that happen to any art or anything for that matter that corporation get their hands in they currupt it. Those guys are doing the art that way cause it sell is right does it excuse it no but don’t confuse it with real Rap or Hip Hop.
A form of popular music developed especially in African-American urban communities and characterized by spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics with a syncopated, repetitive rhythmic accompaniment.
Our Living Language The culture of hip-hop has been the source of dozens of words and expressions in American English, of which rap is one of the most familiar. The word is probably a development ultimately of rap meaning “to hit.” It shows up in the early 1900s in the extended meaning “to express orally,” as used by so notable a figure as Winston Churchill in 1933. Over the next few decades it came to mean “to discuss or debate informally,” a meaning that was well established in the African-American community by the late 1960s. A decade later the word was applied to an evolving style of music characterized by, among other things, beat-driven rhymes of an often improvisatory nature. The slang that is integral to the lyrics of rap continues to be a source of borrowings into colloquial American English; recent examples include chill, meaning “to calm down,” and dis, meaning “to show disrespect to.” These are but the latest examples in a long series of such borrowings from Black English stretching back a century or more, many of them directly from popular music lyrics or from musicians' lingo.
Hip-Hop has influence american society in a big way from how we talk “Lays get your smile on” to fashion designers styles many brand name stated that some of their most popular and mainstream style come from Hip-Hop and this all over the world as early as the early 90’s. Hip-Hop has also drove African American and urban entertainer to reach out to help their thirst for expression and help evolve a their art borrowing from Capoeira and Kung Fu ( from their love of Hong Kong martial arts films of the 70’s and creating a new form called Breakdancing. Hip-Hop should be seen as a culture that bring any and everyone togther to express their creativity in a inovative way.
Here song I like people don’t do it as much now just talk about blowing away in east it still got some great MC that under that blanket of mainstream rap their can’t be hear or well known rap artist force the bend with the industry and stuff they rather not.
It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin', sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
Cause in my physical, I can express throuh song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell
The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up
Nas, stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up
Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el
Inhale from the L, school a fool well, you feel it like braille
It ain't hard to tell, I kick the skill like Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary spills I'm Ill
plus Matic, I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek
Jam like a tech with correct techniques
So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magmatize me
Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabatoge me
I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell
This rhythmatic explosion, is what your frame of mind has chosen
I'll leave your brain stimulated, niggaz is frozen
Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
End like Leviathan, it's deep well let me try again
Wisdom be leakin out my grapefruit troop
I dominate break loops, givin mics men-e-straul cycles
Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle
And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova
You're still a soldier, I'm like Sly Stallone in Cobra
Packin like a rasta in the weed spot
Vocals'll squeeze glocks, MC's eavesdropT
Though they need not to sneak
My poetry's deep, I never fell
Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
It ain't hard to tell
Just to let you know everything he said is a Metaphor and should not taken just as it is read
Just meant to paint you a picture he is another.
Microphone checka, swingin sword lecture
closin down the sectar supreme neck protector
Bet I won em kid Mr. Metha warmin pot
about to blow his lid from the pressure, too hot for TV
but cheesy, Too many wanna be hard be easy, is all in together
going all not together it don't take much to please me
Still homes are never satisfy like the stones
we don't condome bitin in the sellin crossbones
protectin what am writin don't clash with the Titan
who blast with a liscence to kill rap presitence
C'mon, in the zone with ya nigga from the Group Home
TICAL!!(Fuck your lifestyle!!) (Blew wind)...put your lights out
got the shit the crackin got you fienin with your pipes out
time for some action, surfin the avenue
mad at you, where I used to battle crews
back when Antoinette had that attitude
Cover me I'm going in, walls closin in
got us bustin off these pistols
my niggas got issues...again, same song
armed with the mega bomb
Blow you out the frame and I'm gone.
[Verse Two: Redman]
I was going to Buck-we-romes, cellular phones
Doc-Meth back in the flesh, blood and bone
don't condone Spent bank loans and homegrown
suckers break like Turbo
in no zone, when I, grab the broom
moon-walk platoon hawk my goons spark
leave you in a blue lagoon lost (true)
three nines and a glove with masu di die in the car
right behind on the boss
Haters don't touch, weigh us both up
now my neighbor doped up
got the cable hooked up. All channels
lift my shirt all Mammal
you ship off keys and we ship Grand Pianos.
sawed of shotgun
hand on the pump, sippin on a forty
puffin on a blunt
bust my gun and Red and Meth gettin jumped
La la la la, la la la laaaaa
yeah c'mon, Red and Meth gettin jumped
La la la la, la la la laaaaaa
See these guys are just having fun and painting a picture.
So what do you guy think?
