FIFTY-THREE YEARS OF HIP-HOP DON’T STOP WON’T STOP KEEP ON!!!!
Here is a random collection of DESULTORY HipHop stuff I have collected for posterity’s sake 🙂 ❤ ❤ ❤
GOTTA START WITH THE START 🙂
I went to THE B-BOY SUMMIT in Dego back in 1997 and received an autographed videotape of this HIP-HOP CLASSIC from PRINCE WHIPPER HIMSELF!!!
HERE IS A LINK TO THE OFFICIAL VIDEO https://www.bboysummit.com/video/1997-full/
So liit. Me and my cousin took the Amtrak and talked to the conductor because you know I had to get my own footage.
I asked the conductor how he felt about rap.
He said basically, he was pissed because so many Black people were getting rich off of it!!!
There is footage of Prince Whip at 3:07
We got a ride back to L.A. with Luke from Jurassic 5. I know he is a devil but now that I know better I do better!!! He is at 3:55
THE HIP-HOP CONVENTIONS of the nineties would be perfect for our yearly HAAJ / PILGRIMAGE to THE BOOGIE DOWN
I went to the one 1996 at U.C.L.A. and actually went to jail for the first time for filming!
The part that hurt the most was that they kept my tape.
THE WEBSITE IS BBOYSUMMIT.COM
CHECK IT OUT FOR SURE!
LET THEM KNOW THEY NEED TO BRING IT TO THE BX FOR HIP-HOP ANNIVERSARY IN BLACK AUGUST.
I cannot let the national news broadcasters forget, regardless of their attempt to reconcile their initial animosity to our culture.
In 1979 this is what I heard on the NIGHTLY news.
TOM BROKAW: “Rap is just a passing phase in the urban community...”
PETER JENNINGS: “It won’t last…“
DAN RATHER: “It’s just a fad…”
At eight years old I WAS PISSED OFF and now FORTY-SEVEN years later I can say, where are you guys?
WE ARE STILL HERE!
AND WE NOT FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to have the biggest KRUSH on K.B. ❤ ❤ ❤
He has been happily married for like fifty years, so yeah….. BLACK LOVE!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Was blessed to interview him in the nineties when this Sister “dusted him off” and featured him on her album though! 🙂
I always say that to be considered REAL HIP-HOP you must have a D.J. and scratching!!!
I had the hugest KRUSH on JAY also.
He used to come up to my school after it let out because his gf went there. 😦
I used to gawk anyway!!! LOL ❤ ❤ ❤
Someone who used to tour with them told me that Run was one of those performers who used to throw up before a show!!!
That little gem is for an emcee friend of mine who named Run as his fave rapper.
btw you lose major points if you are a rapper with a favorite rapper 
THIS IS ANOTHER HIP-HOP CLASSIC

THE DRAGON WARRIORS TASK IS TO KILL
THE DRAGON
According to the Divine Supreme Wisdom Teachings of The Most Honourable Elijah Muhammad
(Salah Allahu Alaika wa Salaam)
THE DRAGON IS THE POPE OF ROME
WHO GIVES POWER TO THE BEAST (U.S.A.)
as prophesied in the Book of Revelation
(Last book of the Injil)
WE ARE ALL DRAGON WARRIORS!!!!!!
There is no such thing as THE DRAGON WARRIOR.
I REPEAT,
THE TASK OF THE DRAGON WARRIOR IS TO DESTROY THE DRAGON –
THE POPE OF ROME / CHRISTIANITY
I still haven’t seen any AFRO SAMURAI however, I have seen the Jim Kelly movie BLACK BELT JONES.
HERE IS BLACK SAMURAI. I HAVEN’T HAD TIME TO WATCH IT BUT HERE GOES. SEND ME A COMMENT IF YOU THINK IT IS INAPPROPRIATE.
Let me just add this backstory – KUNG FU FLIX ARE EXTREMELY AN INTRICATE IRREMOVABLE PART OF HIP-HOP CULTURE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT WAS INTERTWINED IN OUR COMING OF AGE.
SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS FOLLOWED BY SOUL TRAIN AND KUNG FU THEATRE – ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY – THIS WAS THE ROUTINE FOR ANYONE CONSIDERED A YOUTH – SCHOOL AGE – IN THE 1970s-80s.
I didn’t even like it (KUNG FU THEATRE) at the time. Preferring to go outside and ride bikes or skate or whatever OUTSIDE. However, if it was raining or everyone was inside cleaning up or on punishment –
I had nothing else to do but watch: 🙂
FAST-FORWARD AND NOW I REALLY LIKE THEM.
MY INTRODUCTION WAS KAREEM AND BRUCE LI. WHICH BTW THEY KEEP CHANGING KAREEM’S OPPS!!!!
ALSO WHEN WU-TANG DROPPED T.I.C.A.L. I WAS HOOKED! 🙂
W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W
Lovin his cap! SK8PARK SKULLEEZ fa sho! Second Verse!!! Looks like its knit. But I can crochet it for sure. Minus the cables. I made one with a brim before. It took a lot of patience.
THE WEST IS KNOWN FOR POPLOCKIN as opposed to our EASTCOAST counterpart particularly known for BREAKIN’ although breakin was extremely popular on the West Coast.
When I was in Juniour High 1982 this breaker used to come up to my school with his linoleum and entertain me and my bestie during nutrition. We used to ALWAYS be late to class. HE WAS SO DOPE!!!
In the nineties I went on a chaperoned date with Tic. LOL!!!
He had become Muslim and I was well on my way 🙂 🙂 🙂 Al Hamdulillah! Allahu Akbar الله اكبر الحمد لله سبح الله
Like most everybody I know who does not rap but is into other areas of Hip-Hop Culture, specifically D.J.ing, B-Boying, Graff, or Beatboxing, they eventually picked up the microphone to get their message to the masses. …..but you don’t hear me though… 🙂
Shoulda kept dancing.
I also wasn’t going to mention this but TELL ME WHY THE WEEKEND AFTER OUR CHAPERONED DATE, THE BLOWED HAD A SHOW AT THE VISION AND I’M FILMING, WHEN JAY ANNOUNCES AN OLD SKOOL DANCER BEING FEATURED AFTER ABOUT TWENTY YEARS OF HIBER NATION, then here comes Tic on stage…..
This is along the same line as… #SOEMBARRASSING
Not the pineapple freeze tho…..
THANK-YOU GUYS BECAUSE L.A. RAP TOOK A LEFT SOMEWHERE….
THE WATTS PROPHETS TO STRAIGHT OUTTA LEIMERT 🙂
MOVIES
THIS IS THE BEST I CAN DO FOR THIS WEST COAST HIP-HOP CLASSIC
BREAKIN‘
Sidenote: I am still offended that they did not get a SISTER to play the role of the girl!!!
Especially when LEILA ROCHON HAS A CAMEO!!!
SHE COULD HAVE EASILY PLAYED THE LEADING LADY!!!
SCREAMING!!!!!
THEN TO MAKE THE MORAL OF THE FILM ABOUT HOW THIS DEVIL IS ACCEPTED INTO OUR CLOSED CULTURE!!! MAKES ME LIVID.
SCREAMING!!!!!
Also offended at the bodega scene OBVIOUSLY SET IN NEW YORK as there are no such things as bodegas in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!!!
Finally, that the most famous scene in this movie is the black guy sweeping up outside a store is so blatantly RACIST!!!
THE TITLE SONG, HOWEVER, WILL FOREVER REMAIN A HIP-HOP CLASSIC…
DAYLIGHT DOESN’T MATTER!!!!!!
BECAUSE WE AIN’T FINISHED!!!!!!
PROBABLY THE BIGGEST SONG IN HIP-HOP OURSTORY!!!
BREAKIN’ SPECIFICALLY THE UPROCK EVOLVED FROM THE AFRO-BRAZILIAN MARTIAL ART CAPOEIRA
I met a brother who told me he was breakin at the CLOSING CEREMONY of the 1984 Olympics in L.A.
s/o YAHYA!!!
THE RAPPER JALIL HAS SOME NEW WHODINI MERCH FOR YA’LL!
#ONELOVE
JUST BECAUSE L.A. HAD SOME BANGERZ TOO!!!
THIS IS A PLAYLIST!!!!

The homie said there was much ado about NE’s
“The Culture” Tour
because Is NE Hip-Hop?
First, I didn’t know what The Culture meant at the time.
But truthfully, the world’s introduction to NE is
8 BARS!
delivered by RALPHIE.

And if they are not necessarily doing floor work, they are definitely Hip-Hop dancing 🙂 Also their SHOES!!!
