Afterlife - iz Hip Hop dead? 2000

[Lordbyron]

hip hop has widdled down to suburb white kids.
i said it before & i'll say it again. real hip hop somehow got transformed into what the masses call back pack rap.

I hear this a lot... but what is real hip hop?

 

[Lordbyron]

People still breakdance? That's some 80's shit right there... Beatstreet type stuff... It's 2007, fools need to let that old shit go...

its just not breaking its all hip hop dance. You gotta understand its not just graff, djing, b-boying, mcing etc. its any sort of black urban dance, art, music that incorporates rhymes over some kind of music, etc.
