Is it relevant
to the new hip hop heads coming up? Much of the current artists’ music has become sample based, and it has gained a lot of popularity. What do you think of sampled-based production versus composition based production?

Hip Hop is not, i repeat not, about vitamin water

Hip Hop is not about blind loyalty, im a NaS and Game fan and when they fu*k up im the first to criticise.

Hip Hop is not about your buisiness prowress, all the money in the world doesnt make u talented or a lyrical god eg. P Diddy

Hip Hop is not starting beefs and walking away when the opposition responds

Hip Hop is not supposed to cater to the rich or the powerful white elite (Ja Rule, Cent, Jay Z and others are all guilty of this)

Hip Hop is not about law suits directed at companies or organisations who are puting your music out there

Hip Hop is an expression of urban culture directed at the oppressed masses in an attempt to inspire social conscience

Hip Hop is starting a beef and finishing it

Hip Hop is supposed to be an underground movement, bringing it to the forum of popular white america as a mere expression of rebellion defeats it’s entire purpose

Hip Hop is honesty, integrity, respect and most importantly honour

The way I see it,I’ve seen and heard it all when it comes to DJs in hip-hop. Now,in turntablism, we all know the basics-scratching,mixing,backspinning,beat juggling,and the most advanced of all-body tricks. Turntablism has played a very important role in hip-hop. Today,I have came across something new,and that is experimental noise turntablism,which leads me to this question-what is the difference between hip-hop DJs and experimental noise DJs? I know that the hip-hop DJs scratch and mix for turntablist battles. As for experimental noise DJs, I would figure these DJs would mess up the mix and the song by making silly sounds on the turntables,just by fooling around with the records-and not doing a serious DJ mix. Noise music is something I would like,especially when I would record myself switching channels on the radio,place the cassette in my tape recorder,and mess around with the speed control to see how the music sounded when it’s warped or distorted. And then I would constantly press the rewind,play,and fast-forward buttons to make it sound like turntables. I think that experimental noise DJs would make their mix sound like a broken tape recorder that is eating up the tape. But then again,I could be wrong. So,please tell me,what’s the real scoop behind this new sound of music?

I’m sorry, I’m dumb when it comes to genres and sub genres. I was just wondering whats the difference between rap and hip hop? I’ve recently been trying to get into rap and hip hop (Eazy-E, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Run-DMC, NWA, ect) and I’m not an expert at categorization and I was wondering what their differences were?

I know mainstream hip hop sucks so you dont have to tell me. But for some reason I like the song Out Her Grindin by dj kahled. I know it sucks & isn’t lyrical or as good as old school hip hop but I like it. So do any of you like a song like that?
