That's a BOLD TITLE eh? HI JaKKKed HIP HOP izza rap......hmmmm, what does he mean? It means that I'm BLAK at this keyboard typin away to let Y'ALL know that WE got just 158 days left. Where Y'ALL at? What it do? Today my peepo, WE gotta HUMDINGER for ya so ya best be prepared when ya read this 1. But first, as I've been sayin for the last year, WE gonna be OK! I almost didn't write this today bcuz lately, I've been feelin like fuKKK ALL but then a dear friend of mine told me that she & a lotta other peepo WE know have been feelin same. I think by now that most of my LOYAL READERS always see me puttin up these HEAVY SOLAR FLARE ACTIVITY posts & ya also gotta know that that shit affects US down here like a MOFO! THEY gettin STRONGER & STRONGER & the KraKKa can't mess with that. He's too busy preparin US with the jesus hologram/alien invasion/zombie takeover program so watch for that. I hope Y'ALL inna good mood when ya get this. I'm lovin that it's been very HOT bcuz THEM NIKKKAS can't take it. As the summer continues, look for it to get much HOTTER & I luv when it's HOT so that I can see all of the BOOTYFUL BW out there. Unless ya REALLY LIGHT SKINNED, BLAK peepo do not need sun screen so STOP that SHIT! Do that walk again gal as it's so sexxy! Let's talk about Hip Hop today.


The term has been co-opted. I've told Y'ALL plenty of times that Hip Hop is ALIVE & VIBRANT but ya don't hear me. Hip Hop is MC'ING, DJ'ING, DANCE & GRAFFITI! I don't know who coined the phrase but Professor Griff always says that Hip Hop is somethin ya LIVE & rap is somethin you DO! In other words, 1 could rhyme about Hip Hop (balance) & some could rhyme about the streets (rap). When ya just rap, what ya doin is COMMERCIALIZIN ya sound for the purpose of makin money while not carin for the art form to get PAID. In & of itself, that's not necessarily a bad thing but what of the youngsters who look up to those they wanna be like? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hdl0-NIgR0).

Here's the rub. I described all of this in depth here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/blak-smith/i-aint-perfekt-but-take-it-from-me/paperback/product-18623064.html. What's happened is that THEY HI JAKKKED Hip Hop & made it THEIR OWN to the point that WE think it's OURS bcuz WE present it. I remember the very 1st time I heard a brotha define "rhyme music" as rap & I thought a new music was out. That word is now used interchangeably to the detriment of the art form as anything positive or negative happenin among the 19-35 crowd is now defined as Hip Hop especially if it involves Blaks who LIVE or DO Hip Hop. Case in point:  Ice T & Souljah Boy gettin into twitter beef. Is that Hip Hop?



Face it, most of the rappers ya hear on the radio waves today are just that - rappers. When was the last time that ya heard anythin socially conscious by a mainstream artist on ya radio airwaves? Like the post office, the old model of radio is dyin & BLAK in the day, WE used to complain about just 40 songs on regular rotation. In the 90's, it became 20. Now, it's not uncommon to hear a song 20 minutes after ya just heard it. Those few of you who still listen in prolly do so in the am when ya need to pump up by listenin to those jocks who keep it movin. steve harvey & tom joyner come to mind & just so y'all know, them NIGGAS is made too. A made nigga is 1 who is chosen to sell ya out with a supposed moral compass. I think ya gettin me. AT least I hope ya are bcuz that would be Hip Hop.

Hip Hop, started out in the dark, WE used to do out  in the park - MC Shan from the Bridge

So what's been up in Hip Hop lately? drake & chris brown throwin bottle atta downtown nyc club. Did y'all know that Lauryn Hill has a court date in october for tax evasion?  Like Wesley Snipes, she may get years. Stop expectin her to come BLAK full tilt bcuz to do so would put her right BLAK in fuKKKery mode! Now when she came out atta show with Nas at SummerJam......that's Hip Hop! Hip Hop is GREAT FOOD & rap is fast food, cheap & easy! Ya see, what's happened is that anything associated with youth music by Blaks is associated with the genre & WE further it by NOT CORRECTIN those who use these words & don't know what they definin. Those who are paid make shit so CONVENIENT! The media defines who does what & bcuz bouncy is married to gay-z doesn't make her a Hip Hop artist. Same goes for rihanna.

For me, this is the epitome of Hip Hop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlIGVmmOWqo.

Ya walk & talk Hip Hop! Ya should LIVE & BREATHE it! Hip Hop is not welcomed in corporate ameriKKKa unless THEY makin money off of it. Hip Hop phrases are watup, chillin & keep it real. Hip Hop shouldn't just be about money which when coupled with luv, is the ROOT of all EVIL! This was why rap was switched to the south so that THEY could get young peepo to start sayin DUMB SHIT who ain't been exposed to all the BS that most older artists seen & would warn the lil Homies about. It's hard for a 19 year old to relate to what my next book is about  & the name of that 1 is gonna be,  From Hip Hop til NWO (NOW). Southern Hip Hop was at it's peak pre-boule Outkast & Goodie Mobb & more in particular, Dre 3000 & Cee-Lo. Yea, I meant that & it will be reclaimed like the EARTH that can no longer take all of the pollution THEY put here. The EARTH needs a COLIN CLEANSE.

So ya see, drake & chris breezy got into a RAP BATTLE as MOST Hip Hop artists express thru LUV! WE call it rap & BULLSHIT(r&b). The LAST MC as far as MAINSTREAM that I RESPECT is Kendrick Lamar but he's rollin with dr dre & so he may be a lil suspect. frank ocean is not a Hip Hop artist so him comin out ain't Hip Hop news. That was a NIGGA comin out with, OH SHIT, an album comin out. gay-z & kanye defendin gay rights is not Hip Hop! A lot of deaths that happen to Hip Hop artists are carried out by this dude: http://news.yahoo.com/la-sheriff-faces-mounting-legal-challenges-181944248.html & the various Hip Hop Police that still exist til this day. Ya don't hear about 'em much anymore bcuz rap is CONTROLLED by HANDLERS. Do y'all notice that real Hip Hop artists don't even battle anymore? It's so played out & ya know why........the real Hip Hop artists are too old & don't have time for it as most of 'em are 50+. It was pretty much a (w)RAP after 1990 when it became RAP & BULLSHIT!




So to finish this off, this AINT TRUE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=limWD2yPGg4. It's ALIVE,  VIBRANT & just as EXCITIN as it's ever been. Why not check out my 10 part series I put out 2 years ago here?: http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2010/07/hiphop-has-gone-wild-part-1.html. I put it all out & in my opinion, that was my BEST SERIES EVER! As KRS-1 said BLAK in the day, "boom bye bye Hip Hop will NEVER DIE" so stop CONFUSIN it with this MANUFACTURED BULLSHIT ya hearin erry day erry day erry erry erry day! Go see some new underground cats who ain't poppin bottles & shit like that. Listen at  youtube for other shit but stop complainin yo & as these days count down, let's get BLAK into makin LIVE MUSIC! This HI JAKKKIN SHIT is almost over but WE gonna go to this & when ya listen, listen all the way til the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXPN4PuWpu0&feature=fvst. Yea, rap izza WRAP so rap it UP!
