The Philosophy of Hip-Hop
Hip-hop, a cultural movement that began in the Bronx, New York, during the 1970s, encompasses a variety of elements including music (rap), dance (breakdancing), visual art (graffiti), and fashion. The philosophy of hip-hop extends beyond these elements, reflecting deep socio-political, cultural, and existential themes. Here's an exploration of some core aspects of the philosophy of hip-hop:
1. Self-Expression and Authenticity
At its heart, hip-hop champions self-expression and authenticity. Artists often share personal stories, struggles, and triumphs through their lyrics, dance, and art.
Authenticity: Hip-hop values "keeping it real," meaning that artists are expected to stay true to their personal experiences and cultural roots.
Narrative Power: Through storytelling, hip-hop provides a voice for marginalized communities, allowing them to share their unique perspectives and experiences.
2. Resistance and Rebellion
Hip-hop has always been a form of resistance against social, political, and economic oppression.
Social Commentary: Many hip-hop lyrics critique systemic injustices, including racism, poverty, and police brutality.
Empowerment: Hip-hop encourages empowerment and resilience, motivating individuals to overcome adversity and fight for their rights.
3. Community and Unity
The hip-hop community is built on a sense of solidarity and collective identity.
Collectivism: Hip-hop culture fosters a sense of belonging and mutual support among its members.
Collaboration: Collaboration is a key component, with artists frequently working together to create music, art, and dance.
4. Innovation and Creativity
Hip-hop is characterized by its innovative and creative spirit.
Sampling and Remixing: Hip-hop producers often sample existing music to create new tracks, showcasing creativity and respect for musical heritage.
Evolution: Hip-hop continuously evolves, incorporating new styles, sounds, and technologies, reflecting its dynamic and adaptive nature.
5. Cultural Identity and Pride
Hip-hop celebrates cultural identity and pride, especially within African American and Latino communities.
Heritage: It honors the cultural heritage of its founders and perpetuates traditions through its various elements.
Pride: Hip-hop instills a sense of pride in cultural roots and promotes the celebration of diverse identities.
6. Education and Knowledge
Hip-hop often emphasizes the importance of knowledge and education.
Knowledge of Self: Artists frequently explore themes of self-awareness and personal growth.
Social Education: Hip-hop educates listeners about social issues and historical contexts, encouraging critical thinking and awareness.
The philosophy of hip-hop is multifaceted, intertwining themes of self-expression, resistance, community, innovation, cultural pride, and education. It serves as a powerful vehicle for social change, artistic creativity, and cultural preservation. By understanding these philosophical underpinnings, one can appreciate hip-hop not just as an art form but as a significant cultural and intellectual movement.

Do y'all want more hiphop in your lives?
(This goes out to all of my 14,5 followers out there, lmao, wassup)
Since many of you on tumblr were mostly unfamiliar with the whole genre of rap/hiphop prior to this whole beef, but many of you seem to be interested/magically drawn to the music, the culture, the background:
Let's do something like a lil' "HipHop Bit of the Week", shall we?
I'll be posting about *something* hiphop related each week (probably starting after this whole beef situation has calmed down further, because we still busy rn).
Idk what this is going to look like exactly, but we'll figure out something.
Basically this is self-promo, because I'm announcing this prior to starting it, so any of you who are somewhat interested, but don't wanna do the whole rabbit hole deep dive into the background and different funfacts about hiphop on their own, might wanna stick around my blog till after beef.
#kendrick lamar#hiphop#New blog idea#This has probably already been done better anyway but who the fuck will stop me? You? Didn't think so#Rap music#hiphop culture#Funfacts#announcement#Yall ready?#In the end no one's gonna care anyway and I'll make this series for 2 people and the spider on my wall#Who tf even cares lmao

#ONTHISDAY April 6, 1999
Aaliyah attends Nas' “I Am” album release party at Club Float in New York.
Track #8. "You Won't See Me Tonight" (featuring Aaliyah) .
Where were you when this track dropped?
July of 1999 the song reached #44 "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" charts and #21 on the Billboard "Bubbling Under Hot 100" charts. It stayed at #21 for 2 weeks.
DID YOU KNOW: Timbaland Sampled "You Wont See Me Tonight's" instrumental with Jerry Goldsmith's song "Underwater Grave" off the motion picture "Deep Rising".
It's sad this song didn't get a music video, but, it's understandable that Aaliyah was in high demand at this time. Mostly at this period, Aaliyah was working on her lines for her first film (and it's soundtrack) "Romeo Must Die"; Principal photography for RMD began on May 3, 1999 and ended on July 23, 1999 with the film being released March 2000.
How HOT it would have been if Aaliyah got in her bag with Egyptian like visuals for this video?

Black people created nearly every major music genre in America, yet black people are underrepresented in industry leadership and awards. It’s been this way since the beginning of the music industry. At the core of this phenomenon is a paradox: America’s admiration for black culture has always coincided with its blatant disdain for black people. Millions of black Americans have to navigate a society that shamelessly sees so much value in their creations, yet so little value in their wellbeing. And nowhere is this unsettling truth more evident than in the history of American music.
