Listen tosome real hip-hop not the crap you heard hip-hop haters you don't know shit about hip-hop this goes to the guy who said its the same as [rap]: The same thing as [rap] "[music]" (and I use the term VERY loosely); in other words, complete and utter [bullshit]. Hip-Hop is worthless, I.Q.-sapping garbage. Don't judge it if you are ignorant.Like one guy said in a review "If the low end theory(an album) by a tribe called quest isn't [music] then [music] doesn't exist".Hip-hop is more that what mtv plays and the thugs.Waaaay more.I got sick of people judging it.Listen to real hip-hop like De la Soul or A Tribe Called Quest or Digable Planets and you will understand what i mean.It's way more artistic the [music] by digable planets by the mostly wack metal.Don't judge hip-hop when you are ignorant and don't understand it.It took me 5 years to learn about hip-hop.How can you judge it by some videos you saw on mtv and from what you heard about the wack 2pac?
i was writing many lyrics of many songs but i had to deleted it because some words was containd meny times but i will paste only from [one] song: Artist: De La Soul Album: Buhloone Mindstate Song: I Am I Be Verse 1 I am Posdnous I be the new generation of slaves here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes the pile of revenue I create But I guess I don't get a [cut] cuz my rent's a month late Product of a North Carolina [cat] who scratched the back of a pretty woman named Hattie Who departed life just a little too soon and didn't see me grab the Plug Tune fame As we go a little somethin' like this look ma, no protection Now I got a daughter named Ayana Monay And I can play the cowboy to rustle in the dough so the scenery is healthy where her eyes lay I am an early bird but the feathers are black so the apples that I catch are usually all worms But it's a must to decipher [one]'s [queen] from a worm who plays groupie and spread around the bad germ I cherish the [twilight] I maximize, my soul is the right size I watch for the power to run out on the moon (And that'll be sometime soon) Faker than a fist of kids speakin that they're black When they're just niggas trying to be Greek Or some tongues who lied and said "We'll be natives to the end" Nowadays we don't even speak I guess we got our own life to live Or is it because we want our own kingdom to rule? Every now and then I step to the now for now I see back then I might have acted like a fool Now I won't apologize for it This is not a bunch of Bradys but a bunch of black man's pride Yet I can safely say I've never played a sister by touching where her private parts reside I've always walked the right side of the road If I wasn't making song I wouldn't be a [thug] selling drugs But a man with a plan and if I was a rug cleaner betcha Pos'd have the cleanest rugs I am. Verse 2 The Plug Two brand with the flavour in the flute watch the sniffin' so a sack of shows in demand I read the diction from the second page I got the [one]-two gauge baritone to the izm fan Trees fall so I can play ground with my ink So let me need ya to my ems go I push the infinite and carry it My carrier's the three over [one] so my pluggins already know Lick shots with moo catch the boo from a ghost in the heckling crowd if I give a foot [Jack] Ville caught a spill when a still came from my mouth I brought a head down south I don't check for the noose and the neck So I never tell my ems that finesse is knocking at my [door] I choose to run from the rays of the burning [sun] and [dodge] a needle washing up upon a sandy shore I bring the element H with the 2 so ya owe me what's coming when I'm raining on your new parade It's just mind over matter and what matters is that the mind isn't guided by the punished shade I keep the walking on the right side but I won't judge the next who handles walking on the wrong Cuz that's how he wants to be No difference, see I wanna be like the name of this song I am Verse 3 I am Posdnous I be the new generation of slaves Here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes the pile of revenue I create but I guess I don't get a [cut] cuz my rent's a month late The deeds of a natural are seeds that are no longer planted so the famine in the mind is strong Tactics of another plane is now proven sane Sane enough to let you know from within this song I stabilize many cableized viewers So my occupation's known But not why I occupy And that is to bring the [peace] not in the flower but the As-Salaam Alaikum in the third I am
This definition is too long for this mug.
Hip Hop is an ever changing culture that reflects the experience of society through encompassing disc jockeying, emceeing, break dancing, and graffiti as an art form.
No example needed.

An alarming recent trend is seen in commercial music journalists, djs/vjs, etc. calling any music with a dj and mc "hip-hop." In doing this they obfuscate the distinction between rap and hip-hop. Rap is visceral; hip-hop is cerebral. Rap has its own integrity, equal to that of hip-hop, as was shown in the old school (78 - 83) and Golden Age (84 - 93) years (all dates are approximations). Rap is currently much more commercially successful and generally popular than hip-hop, and in its current expression has been watered down by the demands of commerce. (see: hip-pop). By contrast, hip-hop is undergoing a bit of a rennaisance, whose crystallisation was marked by the release of such albums Black Star by Mos Def and Talib Kweli in the late nineties.
Rap: Run DMC, Public Enemy, Eric B. and Rakim, Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick, Beastie Boys, N.W.A./Dr. Dre, LL Cool J, Grandmaster Flash, BDP, Big Daddy Kane, Jay-Z, Black Thought (The Roots' mc), EPMD, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Kid and Play, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Cash Money artists, Ludacris, Nelly, Black Eyed Peas (now?). Hip-Hop: A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Digital Underground, MF Doom, Aesop Rock, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Del the Funky Homosapien, The Roots' musicians, Jurassic 5, 3rd Bass, Black Eyed Peas (then?), RJD2. Some artists, such as Missy Elliot and Busta Rhymes, appear on first notice to be rappers, particularly because of their tendancy towards braggadoccio, etc., and thier somewhat accessible sound, but upon deeper examination prove to be hip-hop artists. Similarly, The Neptunes, Timbaland, and Kanye West lay down what one might call hip-hop beats, but most often for rap artists.

hip hop is tha voice or expression through music on a lyrical level, produced wit tuff beats. this form of music shows people who came from nothing and have made something of themselves. ex. Master P is one of tha richest men in tha world and has been in tha game for a minute.
