thank you. if this is the same brother i would love to talk to him again. remember in the movie "brown sugar", sidney asked everyone she met "when did you fall in love with hip hop?". my answer would be the day i met grandsinister d.j. ice. as a matter of fact, he was the one that gave me a copy of the world famous battle tape of kool moe dee v.s. busy bee. im sure this is the same brother. there was only one grandsinister ice.

In response to your question about our website dj, he did mentioned to us that he had lived in Connecticut for 5 years or so. He's currently working at a club in North Carolina for some X-mas event, when he gets back, we'll be sure to ask him for confirmation.

OK.. I see where you are going with this but the picture becomes muddy as the BCM is occupied by those same "victims".

Are Jay-Z and Dr. Dre victims or just another cog in the BCM?

Also a large part of Hip Hops victimization is due to a self fulfilling prophecy ingrained in Hip Hop at an early age. I'm talking about the penchant for bragging about materialistic values.

Hip Hop is basically training kids to want the things that cost much and yet mean very little in the big picture. Those $200 kicks that will be played out in 6 months. The bigger and shinier rims that seem like a better investment than a semester in school. And the list goes on...

Hip Hop, well Rap in particular has evolved basically like this (simplistic overview):
Party->Consciousness->Gangsta->Bling->Sex

That's not a very good direction. It almost seems the opposite to a standard evolution of an ideal society.

Even other Hip Hop elements DJs, B-Boys, Graff has all been monetized to some degree. Look at the dance shows that highlight hip hop dance styles. These crews compete and then go on tour with each other (ala American Idol) and it creates a desire in other crews to emulate that pattern to get paid.

I'm not sure I agree that taking advantage of an opportunity to make some ends is always selling out to the BCM as much as it is grasping the golden ring when it presents itself.

I do agree that many people will grab the first offer blindly and should be more inclined to negotiate but thats hardly a Hip Hop thing. The music biz has been raping artists since well before Hip Hop existed.

Make Rap Beats — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 02:18:09 -0000

Excellent article. I think for me right now a hardcore beat is one that has agressive sounds in a very choppy rhythm. Often done in a vey orchestral feel (thinking of Timbo's/Games' "Put you on the Game" but going back you could say that RZA was making hardcore beats for the Wu and some Public Enemy beats were the hardest I had heard at that time. It's funny because now when you hear some NWA ish, the beats are pretty mild compared to the way they were perceived back then.

Re: Lil Wayne Invented Mixtapes?

Danger-S — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 21:10:15 -0000

You are missing the whole point. A comparison is only smart and intelligent when it's ACCURATE. He probably overheard somebody else make a reference to Alfred Nobel and ran with it instead of looking up the facts. If a person doesn't know the facts about something they should keep their mouth shut about it and talk about something they do know. How can you give props to someone who spits out bad info? Let me put it this way, you want to defend someone WHO'S TELLING YOU SOMETHING WRONG, but you want to diss me for SCHOOLING YOU ON SOMETHING YOU ADMIT YOU NEVER KNEW. Get a clue, partner.

I feel Da E mazing one, to days so called HIP HOP is weak and shallow. it send a bad image to our children, and doesn't challenge social issues that effecting our community's. HIP HOP has saved my life when i was a youth. so of the none sense my children listen too. Real DJ's should go on strike and refuse to play the bull shit the Machine feeds the People. LET'S SHUT IT DOWN!
