Hip-hop history- The Kids Of rap

Hip-hop wass started by the youth of inner cities to express themselves. Teenage artists like Roxanne Chante and LL Cool J helped shape hip-hop to the way that it is today. Following them, came even younger acts, like Kriss Kross and the subject of today's little blog, "Another Bad Creation".Another Bad Creation - PlaygroundUploaded by oublierleracismeskyblogMike Bivins of New Edition found ABC

Hot Joints

First up is my girl Babs who is coming through representing for real female skill. Now she isn't the prettiest girl but this song right here rocks pimpin.This is my other new banger, Maino and T-Pain with "All the Above" not an original title but it works.

Do Beats make the songs now?

There has been a lot of change going on in the hip-hop world. While we may be able to debate whether or not lyricism is dying or dead, we can agree that production is more widely varied than before. In the South, there are the crashing sounds of producers Like the Runners and Cool and Dre whose tracks sound like portions of a movie score. The West Coast still offers some of the best funk beats

Throwback!

WorldStarHipHop ain't right

Look I know I grab videos from there but a lot of the stuff they post is bullshit. Like music from people in the industry is relevent sometimes, but posting everyone's video blog on Chris Brown and Rihana is ridiculous. Then you have random dudes who get a video posted, then come right back, to clarify and set the record straight for 15 seconds of fame.who is this dude? Do we really care that he

Hip-Hop Love Songs 2

Now last time I talked about hip-hop love songs I made a comment about "Poetry chicks". I'm paraphrasing there, but you need to go back and check it out. The focus of that post was the myriad of songs by Common that I felt strongly represented black love. I'm a married man so a lot of those feelings are still fresh for me. I think a lot of guys sometimes forget how it feels after a certain amount

I was trying not to...

I wasn't going to put out an opinion on Chris Brown and Rihanna, and I'm not really going to get into that in particular too much, but I do have something to say about this:Awww, Oprah, you do care about hip-hop, breaking it down that is. Now I'm not the biggest Oprah fan, but I agree she has power has done a lot in her life and is a real role model for young girls. I try not to look for reasons

They Might be Trippin, but these dudes are right...

So if you watch this clip you gonna see Jermaine Dupri and some of his production team answering some questions using an online chat. I'm not interested too much in the Kriss Kross portion, or Jermaine Dupri stuntin like an asshole as he normally does.My topic is going in about the when NO I.D. talks about female rappers and how they need to talk about topics that interest women. I have to feel

It's Alive!!!

The biggest phrase of the past few years has been Hip-Hop is dead. Let me tell you, it ain't. It may not live in the mainstream as much as it should, but it's still around and today it popped up in a big way for me. I might try to find a way to post some music so you can hear it, but I don't like having my posts removed when I share something.First Ima say CNN, that's Capone-n-Noreaga must be

Hip-hop Love songs

What's love got to do with it? Love has got a lot to do with it. In the hip-hop community, there aren't a plethora of songs that showcase the love between a man and a woman on mature terms.

The genre basically started with the classic, "I need Love" by
