realhiphopforever.com What Is Hip Hop Culture? Too many people are unclear as to what Hip Hop Culture really is and tend to use the term frivolously. Hip Hop Culture is commonly recognized by its main elements: Graffiti, Djing, Breakdancing (B-boying), Mcing, and Beatboxing. These elements are forms of art designed to express a deeper meaning. At its core, Hip Hop is so much more than mere art and entertainment. Hip Hop is the constantly evolving spirit and consciousness of urban youth that keeps recreating itself in a never-ending cycle. It is joy, sorrow, pleasure, pain, victory, defeat, anger, happiness, confusion, clarity, humor, intensity, dream, nightmare, life, death, and everything else in between. It is the spirit that connects the past to the present and lays a path towards the future. The spirit of Hip Hop is the same as Jazz, Reggae, Blues, Doo-wop and a multitude of other types of expressions. Hip Hop Culture cannot be assimilated, integrated, diluted, watered-down, sold for profit, or pimped. It will always exist, in this incarnation or another. -Hip Hop is a way of life, relative movement, and culture that only a few can relate to. Hip Hop is an evolving life force within the person that lives it, breathes it, and moves around in it. Hip Hop is more than what you hear on the radio, read in the magazines, or what you watch on TV. Hip Hop is you. Hip Hop is ME! -Hip Hop adds a face and a voice to those who might not have otherwise been seen or heard from in any other medium. -Hip hop teaches the history of the inner city. It teaches the economics of post-industrialism. The hip hop culture is a lens through which we can really analyze current events and politics in our society. -Hip Hop is life and all it has to offer. This knowledge lays the foundation for all those who thought of Hip Hop as nothing more than entertainment. Help Us Spread the word! Support The Culture! Support Real Hip Hop Forever!
