Although Hip-Hop is musically centered, the story of how it came to be does not begin: "Once upon a time, a DJ named Kool Herc threw a back-to-school jam in the Bronx on August 11, 1973." That is to say, the story of the more incredible culture isn't how it was created as much as the story is how it happened! Hip-Hop, in the broader context of policies like benign neglect implemented by President Richard Nixon, was a reaction to cuts to public education and other social services, legal segregation in the form of redlining, and failed gentrification of the Bronx, NY, in the early 1970s. Hip-Hop was anti-establishment because the establishment was anti-Hip-Hop. By 1980, the innovation in Hip-Hop was primarily driven by its diversity, but as one of my favorite scenes in the movie Wild Style depicts, becoming a part of Hip-Hop culture was also more elusive than it is today, "Yo, I'm ready to paint Virginia but yo what are you doing here in the yard you're not supposed to be here." Hip Hop was powerful because it was a culture you couldn't choose to enter. It was more a matter of whether or not you were allowed, and that hinged upon not the color of your skin but your authenticity, creativity, and the accumulated direct experiences you had with its stewards; in other words, if you wanted to be down, you had to prove yourself over time, regardless of race. Today, bigotry and race-signaling slogans like "they're not like us" have become the barometer for exclusivity in Hip-Hop culture, not aptitude in a given element like it used to. At least based on the framework of Hip-Hop counterculture and what it was countering while I was growing up in the 70s. At what point did Hip-Hop go from your participation in it being grounded on the merit of your creativity, leveling out the playing field, to being overwrought with zealots restricting one's participation based on race, and why?

🐺 honestly, when i think of YG, i think of hip-hop and that kind of image. but if you look back at the past, i think the deeper R&B side was also, in a way, part of YG's identity. like Big Mama seniors, for example. there were so many artists like that. these days, though, it feels like those kinds of colors are a bit hidden behind the hip-hop image. i think that's probably true. YG still has that side, but because the image they present is so strongly associated with hip-hop, it tends to get overshadowed. it's not that i want to push that ahead of hip-hop or anything. but for people who love YG's deep R&B style, i want them to be able to say, "this is also YG's color" personally, i have that kind of desire #박정우

It seems the same deranged individual who was screaming “F-ICE” during the left’s No Kings “protest” on Capitol Hill in October was also screaming “F-Trump” outside the White House today during the left’s anti-Trump, anti-ICE, pro-Maduro “protest.”

J. Cole says during the 90's there was a lot of hip hop fans that were elitist and shunned Tupac: “Nobody wants to admit it but the purest, judgmental and uppity side of Hip Hop laughed at Pac & shunned him, coming into the rules of Hip Hop, I absorbed a lot of judgment. ”

If I told you this was a Hip Hop track that came out in 1989 and not 69 youd believe me. From the beat to the rapping and gold chains it would make sense because this everything about the music and style is hip hop. But since Isaac Hayes was rapping in gold chains in Memphis and not the Bronx, it doesn’t count. Bambooty, and Melle Mel would have you believe they started this culture. Instead of telling the truth about how this culture was handed down to them. The ego of these hip hop so called legends is astonishing. They sampled everything and give credit to nobody. That’s sad.

It looks to me like that guy was just protecting the lady with a backpack, when he was pepper sprayed at first. That is when he got tackled by the agents, and dragged back onto the street. Here it is zoomed in, and @ 50% speed. Much easier to see it this way. He clearly did not undertake any offensive action towards the agents at all. The most he did was to raise his left hand, protecting himself from the pepper spray. The lady with a back pack also seems to be getting back onto the street. but only because the guy was holding her by the hood of her jacket. So, when got pulled back onto the street, she also got pulled out with him.

#Flames Report Cards Jonathan Huberdeau: C It was a rough year for Huberdeau. He put up 25 points in 50 games and was a non factor on the majority of nights. A lot of that probably had to do with injuries. He got hurt in the preseason and was also dealing with a hip issue.

T 5160 - The day of birth .. and another day in its knowing that the celebration at that time was different to the time now .. and the most revered gift that comes to me is from the City of Wroclaw , Poland .. The City of Wroclaw, Poland as you all may know gave me the Ambassador declaration of the City during my last visit there .. it is the City of Literature also and they have placed a molding of Babuji on their main Square .. it is also the City of Elfs and they honoured Babuji with this statue .. they have also named a Square-Street after Babuji, the Harivansh Rai Bachchan street square .. AND .. As a gift from the City they have sent me for this day a most loving generous and overwhelming gift .. Young musicians play the violin as a respect to Babuji 's Madhushala the tune in which he sang it .. at all the prominent locations of the City .. it is a most humbling and overwhelming gesture .. and words fail me in expressing my emotion at this point ..

Ghost was right, Dre had all the potential to make it work. He had dreams beyond the streets, but the difference was, he never really wanted to leave the streets behind. He was mentored by Kanan, Tommy and also schooled by Ghost in the real world of business and he was damn good at it too. We saw how he hustled and kept the clubs running when Ghost was in jail in Season 4. The problem with Dre was, he was always in the grey area, scheming, conniving and snitching!
