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.
Thanks ..I AM HIP HOP.
