What i'm trying to tell you is that what you are referring to as 'hip hop', is in fact, Rap. It hasn't been Hip Hop in quite some time now... During the summer time we have old school hip hop shows in the parks in the Bronx, just to bring back and show the people what real Mc'ing is all about. It's not about talking about how much you can drink, how many pieces of jewelry you have, or how many girls you can fit into your jacuzzi and it definately ain't about nobodies laffy taffy..........lol Hip hop is a culture, with many different component's that most outside of hip hop don't understand...
