Lately it's been a thought thats been pondering in my mind. On mtv and radio 1 (westwood for example), people label acts like 50 cent and eminem as hiphop, daily. gang violence, filthy behaviour and bling culture is now associated with the term hiphop, however it is a culture that is wrongly percieved. how many people actually know true hiphop? hiphop is a beautiful culture with a thriving underground of artists who speak freely about the beauty and troubles of life. rarely have i heard a true hiphop artist speak of gangs and females in a bad way. mtv dosn't play true hiphop cos it dosnt sell. if it dosn't have a big bassline and some repetitive drum loops, it dosnt qualify as hiphop. how many people actually do recognise hiphop culture for what it is? Does louis logic, mf doom, viktor vaughn and the roots just sound like a b-movie casting? it's just strikes me as to whether people really do buy this gangster bling ****
