hip-hop

In our hip-hop lives we make rhymes we make beats we go big or go home. - Esme from Sister Mischief

Hip-hop...has been the proverbial key that__ opened the door for me to roam this breathtaking planet.

PRACTICE MAKES THE HARD THINGS EASY

What if there were health food stores on every corner in the hood, instead of liquor stores!?

You can be the ugliest man in the world but once you got money, you can have all the women in the world.

No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cute enough to kiss you.

Rap in its form is poetry, meaning the point of convergence is words.

Hip Hop Generation __aptures the collective hopes and nightmares, ambitions and failures of those who would otherwise be described as __ost-this_ or __ost-that._

Rap is supposed to motivate, humours, address societal issues & personal feelings, and also liberate me through art, not insult our women.

Whether we consider hip-hop as an evolved manifestation of the Harlem Renaissance or something completely new under the sun, it clearly has moved beyond the stage of just entertaining lives to that of informing and empowering lives.

Life is too short for shitty sex and bad relationships. So go find someone who fucks you right and treats you how you deserve to be treated.

If thousands of Marathi people follow me that means they want revolution on Marathi land.

In those years, hip-hop saved my life. I was still half alien to the people around me. I loved them, mostly because I'd realized that there was no other choice. Hip-hop gave me a common language, but that August, on liberated land, I found that there were other ways of speaking, a mother tongue that, no matter age, no matter interest, lived in us all.

When i look to my past i'm not believe in god but for future god is hope.

I'm trap in marriage with gangsta rhyme and my street life.

My inspiration for writing music is like Don McLean did when he did "American Pie" or "Vincent". Lorraine Hansberry with "A Raisin in the Sun". Like Shakespeare when he does his thing, like deep stories, raw human needs.I'm trying to think of a good analogy. It's like, you've got the Vietnam War, and because you had reporters showing us pictures of the war at home, that's what made the war end, or that shit would have lasted longer. If no one knew what was going on we would have thought they were just dying valiantly in some beautiful way. But because we saw the horror, that's what made us stop the war.So I thought, that's what I'm going to do as an artist, as a rapper. I'm gonna show the most graphic details of what I see in my community and hopefully they'll stop it quick.I've seen all of that-- the crack babies, what we had to go through, losing everything, being poor, and getting beat down. All of that. Being the person I am, I said no no no no. I'm changing this.

It__ the lifestyle that__ being packaged and sold rather than the actual meaning.
