Man Fuck KRS ONE and all these other motherfuckers talking about what hip-hop culture is. Because all that shit is is street culture. Simple as that, Just because you utilized the style, slang, and imagery of your block, neighborhood, or city or state and packaged it into your album covers, singles, public image doesn't make you apart of some special culture. Early New York rap was derived of all the happenings at the time, Graffiti isn't just a simple "Hip-Hop" Entity it's existed before and has a massive relation to other sub-genres outside of the so called hip-hop culture. All These artist who speak about hip-hop are nothing more then wannabe elitist who want to claim something to make them special. New Yorks style was different from the West Coast, Gangster rap's (older) entire image is taken from the Street and Gang Culture of California. The Term Hip-Hop used to devise a culture is a sham, because everything that supposedly makes hip-hop has always reached a wider aspect then what Hip-Hop culture has made it out to be. All these people who talk about living the Hip-Hop Culture or being into the culture are nothing more then retards wanting to belong, because the people who do everything hip-hop has labeled as part of its culture don't call it hip-hop. I Swear rap has been the only sub-genre of music were people fight about what's the music and fake culture. Correct me if I'm wrong. Rap is rap, simple is that, Doesn't matter if it's from the 1980s, or circa today. The only thing that's changed is the lyricism, production and the style in which the music samples from. Because that's all rap is, is an emulation of who ever decides to make it. Rap in the early 80s was simplistic ground breaking but simplistic, The Late 80s Brought Juggernaut acts who's style reflected their attitudes, were they were from, and who they were. Just like today. Regardless if it's political or pure ignorance in the lyrical subject matter. It's a musical genre that's the only one that has a stupid stigma of being authentic, which is Ironic considering the biggest names in rap rarely stayed true to their lyrics.
