HIP-HOP: FROM THE UNDER BELLY TO AIRWAVES

Aug 12, 2001 - © Grandmaster Jay

poetry, street dancing, street art, and street music.

Street people who expressed all of their hopes, fantasies, desires, anger, joy, and pain into the artforms that comprised the Hip Hop culture. From nothing they created a something so powerful that it has impacted the world. A something that is being exploited and misrepresented by the very one making the most money from it: The record conglomerates. Yet the blame also rests on original surviving members of The Hip-Hop Nation. Why? Because nobody is going to tell your story better than you. So tell it. The next time around I will drop knowledge on the erasing of the DeeJay from the musical performance of Hip-Hop music.

Remember this: You can’t control where we go with Hip-Hop unless we understand where it came from.

One,
