Living Hip Hop goes deeper than awareness of the Kulture, enjoying the music or participating in its symbols of success. Living Hip Hop is understanding The Creed. It’s about maintaining the Essence, representing the Kulture and then teaching those who don’t get it. This Kulture is not about street slang, sex, violence, material possessions and breaking the law. People need to understand that nigga does NOT mean nigger, bitch is not just a woman [see Ice-T’s – “Bitches Too”], and “faggot” does not necessarily refer to an actual homosexual.
By God, many of our dopest emcees such as
Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip, Jay Z, Nas, Brand Nubian’s Lord Jamal, Tupac
and even Afrika Bambaataa himself proclaimed these teachings
It’s not that you don’t know or I’m a “know it all” as is the complaint on the Canadian side of things. Who knows more than you? Far from that. What it is, is you and I inspire each other. I’m on a Hiphop KruZade globally. From living Hip Hop, I was fortunate to experience many of its misconceptions. And they hinder many youths from being accepted outside of the Kulture. We all know that when Jay Z called himself Hov, he was not saying he’s the Almighty God. Real Hip Hop heads know about Five Percenters, the Universal Zulu Nation, Pan-African and Afrocentric movements. By God, many of our dopest emcees such as Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip, Jay Z, Nas, Brand Nubian’s Lord Jamal, Tupac and even Afrika Bambaataa himself proclaimed these teachings. In this Kulture, knowledge, and perseverance are vital to success.
Most guys and girls will think that because they speak Ebonics and text abbreviated letters of slang and rap phrases, this means they live Hip-Hop. Add that with an urban dress code, a love for Hip Hop music and the ability to recite a few rhymes, and they may feel even more connected to the Kulture. Trust me, we all need someone to tap us on the shoulder every once in a while and remind us to take heed of what life we live. Hip Hop is broader than that. There is a more significant responsibility to know the Kulture and band together since Hiphoppas are often discriminated against. *
