I hate the fake-undaground haterz. *aaaaaaaargh* I hate bad attitude mofo's who think they're Hip Hop, but don't embody anything other than an image of what they believe an undaground stereotype is, then think they can caste down judgement from 'on high' to other Hiphoppas about whether they're really 'Bboy/Bgirl' or not. I'm like "Dude, I don't give a rats ass how many air flare you nailed, find a gymnastics club and get all superior on them cos you ain't even got half an understanding of the history or true culture you claim to represent or the meaning of the moves you do". Phew. Thank you Kurt. I do feel better. But please don't hate me, I'm working on these issues lol!!x

I hate the fact that there is no education or Histroy being taught to the young generation of Hip-Hop.. Mainstream has distorted Hip-Hop so abruptly that no one in todays society gives a damn about the MC's that came before them.. Mixtape industry is TRash Radiio is Trash BET is Certainly toilet.. I just wish that there was more diversity in Hip-Hop than it was back in the day..

hey,
i thought i would respond to this without**
* false adoration of wealth..never got us anywhere
*a split sense of unity- we all that same
* sexism, racism and homophobia-love evryone as is and if they don't love themselves teach em how
*destroy corporate ownership of artist- support the underground
*anyone think they on top of the game- they be not-----lol
with:
unity
respect
creativity
timelessness
relativity
individuality amongst collectivity
peace only with justice
self actualisation the only weapon alongside unravelling ideas of normal rhythmns that move beyond any idea of time connectivity
healing
humane retribution
pass these words on from australia from exekreye
peace and love and solidarity and respect

Peace and Much Love.
There is nothing I hate about Hip Hop. But there are things about the culture that can be discouraging.
Some of the "so-called" leaders can be very mis-leading! There hidden agendas do not stand for PEACE, UNITY, LOVE and SAFELY HAVING FUN!
They make empty promises and seek out the mighty dollar. There is nothing wrong about getting paid for your talent. However, state that from the jump! Don't say you do it for the love of Hip Hop, then send an Invoice. State your price, do it for the love and represent this culture.
If you are a leader, lead in righteousness.
Furthermore, Pioneer (or not), we need to raise up the next generation. True enough that we need to teach them Hip Hop's OURSTORY. But to go further than that...We need to teach the youth to create their OWN STORY! Let them learn the foundation and build upon it in a righteous manner.
Blessings.
