Title: Write about what hip-hop means to you
Post by: TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96' on September 06, 2006, 01:38:14 AM
What hip-hop means to me is... Is Balance!  It's how one balances between the good and the bad in this life.  Like Shock G said in a Source interview in 96',

"Imagine a world where all you see is straight up positivity (or negetivity), that ain't reality.  We ain't tryin to be X-Clan, but we ain't trying to be Luke-wid-it either."

it's what hip-hop means to you... not what it means to the wack rappers that are out today, but what it means to you personally, what you love about hip-hop.

Same here... couldn't imagine a life without hip hop no matter what state it is in these days! I need this music almost as much as I need to drink and eat, I listen to it before I go to sleep and I always have my mp3 player with me when I go to work and I always listen to hip hop (and R&B) when I'm AT work... Besides music has always helped me get through the trials and tribulations of life... 

Hip hop and R&B is like the soundtrack to my life...

I don't care anymore. There's more to music than Hip-Hop and I'm glad it didn't take me long to realise that.

Hip-Hop? That's a great bunch of morons, some wannabe-morons with just a couple trying to school the morons.

You're right about that... It's not like I've never listened/liked any other form of music, hell I used to listen to all variations of metal, I used to like hardrock, punk, hardcore, rock, "regular" pop music and I respect any other form except house music... I'm very well aware of the fact that there's more than just, I hate this word, the "urban" market...

It's just that at some point in my life I became aware that hip hop did it for me, that's the kind of music I really fell in love with and was into and because of that I also started listening to old 60's-70's soul which I also very much appreciate... Later on I started listening to go-go, funk, modern day R&B, dancehall and reggaeton... I've had my share of other kinds of (non-black) music which was a good thing ofcourse but those types of music I just listed above is my main thing now and it'll always stay that way...

One of the things I can really appreciate is someone else's passion for music... Doesn't matter if that person listens to jazz or black metal, if MUSIC is your life we already got something in common...

That would have been a +1, too bad I can't give props.

music means the world to me, so does hip hop, but there's never been any artists that really touched me with their lyrics and music because 9/10 times their just uneducated former drug dealers justifying their low life existence.  :-\   that being said i play it whenever im not in class or work because of the energy it provides me. i'll check for the j dilla, mr lif, murs songs then i also wanna hear dipset and ying yang twinz too, its all love to me as long as its got that energy, no matter if the song is hyped up or reflective. hip hop is essentially the soundtrack to my day to day operations, background music; and a few select artists (like dj quik) change my outlook on life and have a heavy impact
