I AM HIP HOP !!!!

O.G. Tone

What is real hip hop to me

It's an interpretation of poetic poems

Put together with rhythmic patterns to create a  rhyme

It is the single most important 

 Contribution to music and  history 

The birth of Hip Hop

Has out lasted what critics 

Though was just a fad

has turned out to be a multi billion dollar 

Industry 

It has taken a disenfranchised culture 

With a heavy street vernacular 

In made some of them

Musical legends 

Hip Hop has went from the nearest corner 

To the furthest country 

It is now considered a world  Phenomenal

It has transformed an everyday young street

Hustler into a national brand

Making him a global Icon

Hip Hop is an  Extraordinary evolution 

Of young street impressionist 

Individuals whom has created a large volume 

Of great master  Pieces

Just as the great masters before them

Pablo picasso & Claude Monet 

Did for painting 

Not to mention making a kid 16 a millionaire 

Wasn't a bad deal when you had nothing 

For 40 years I have been a big fan 

Of the Hip Hop culture 

I was introduced to it at 12 years old 

I never looked back after that

It was a way of life

It was the knew fashion influence 

It was the street slang

But it was my soul that kept me intrigued 

I use to shoot a daily dose of the rawness 

Hip Hop had

Into my already saturated vains

Everyday

Into I was hooked

I am now none as a Hip Hop junkie 

I would most likely be hooked for life

Changing with the times I have seen my favorite 

Musical influences change as well

The knew  Millennial sound is called 

Rap music 

This has a younger influence base

Social media has become part of this 

Iconic brand

Television has made it global

Rap is now a universal language 

The only place you can't hear it

Is on the Moon

Other then that its every where you turn

For now let's just say

I AM HIP HOP

    Very good write about a great style of music. In its original form opera was the Rap or Hip Hop of its day unfortunately those with the money and power thought it was for them and brought it into their status, I hope Rap and Hip Hop do not go that way - mind you in this day and age it will never happen and even opera is becoming at one with ordinary people, back where it belongs - for everyone.
