A Convo in Hip Hop...

Baby Boomers bawk when they hear Hip Hoppers spinning old tales of woe or of recent rich and new glamour while rapping, Hip Hoppers sulk when they hear 'It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To' happening. Baby Boomers say they don't understand this new generation's lingo, But Hip Hoppers say they don't understand Boomers persistent need to play BINGO. Boomers walk around reciting Elvis songs, Hip Hoppers walk around singing Sisqo's Thong Thong Thong! But I don't want to harp on various differences, In my time here with these few sentences. I will say that because of the way that we were brought to these shores, Our history has had to be told in verbal scores. Hip Hop is keeping with that tradition and telling those that come after us that our history is not entirely rooted in misery. Because Hip Hop has told us Bedtime Stories, And 8 Million Stories. Hip Hop has been many of our 40 Acres & A Mule and our Morning Glories! Showcasing multi talented individuals and talk show hosts, Producing successful tv shows with characters named 'Ghost'. Hip Hop has protested and told us that 911 is joke! Hip Hop has told us to Forget The Popo. Hip Hop has warned us about 'White Lines' and told us not to take a toke. Hip Hop has been boisterous and Hip Hop has been Abstract, With QTip and Dela Soul stating 'people think they dis my person by stating I'm darkly packed but I point at QTip and he states black is Black!' Hip Hop has ventured into Rock & Roll Because Run DMC told us to 'Walk This Way" and Tone Loc exclaimed Wild Thing! Lil Nas X took Hip Hop country which was Mo' Money, Mo' Money...Cha Ching! Hip Hop has told us to Stop The Violence. Hip Hop has told us to Slow Down...Brand Nubian. Hip Hop has stepped back in time with Wyclef Jean of The Fugees, 'We're Trying to Stay Alive', Wyclef sampled the Bee Gees and it was a hit from the studio to The Bee Hive! Hip Hop has created Super Heroes like Count Cool Out...
