50 years of Hip-Hop! 50 years! Only Res is older than Hip-Hop, but that's not the point... The thing that got all of us together is half century old already. From the dirty parks of New York to #1 hits on Billboard every year. We are Hip-Hop.

What Hip-Hop means to YOU?

To me? Everything. A hope when days were bad, fun when I needed it, friends - real life and online - but online is a part of real life anyways, so what's the difference? I got all my friends because of Hip-Hop. Passion, hobby, love. That's what this culture gave to my life. My Durag boyz, Cool Cats, EmSXN, Off Topic etc etc etc.

Hip-Hop got us together. There's no other reason we're here together.

We became something out of nothing!

Hiphop means the world to me. Growing up on the battle rap scene in detroit as a white kid wasn't easy for me. But I feel like I may finally be getting the respect I deserve.

Third verse of sing for the moment by Eminem. That’s hip hop to me.

I relate a lot to what you said Ricky.

Hip hop is everything to me. It gave me a place in life when I really didn’t have one. I was always changing schools as a kid, moving from city to city, state to state. Couldn’t maintain a steady group of friends. My parents were never together, I bounced between families a lot. I was always looked at as a problem child. My step dad used to lock me in my room at night, all I had was a radio. That’s when I really fell in love with hip hop, music was all I had.

I picked up the pen myself around 11 or 12. It gave me an identity. It was a way for me to break the ice with people and make friends going into high school. I made friends online as well that I’ve met in person and made music with, traveled to different states to do shows. I’ve been in amazing situations and terrible ones. I had a gun pulled on me in Richmond Virginia at age 18 ( i was pretty far from home lol) opening up for Mike Jones and Slick Rick (2 different shows, same week and venue).

My life would not be the same AT ALL without hip hop til this day and I am so thankful for it.



ignore the s-----y video haha but this is a song I made 11-12 years ago. Also this was a time when i rapped over tagged beats because I couldn’t afford to buy them lmao. Hip hop has been always been my motivation to keep pushin.

I know I’m late and maybe this post is TMI but still… HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIP HOP

Facts. Powerful verse, one of my favorites too! Eminem had this thing, last verse of his iconic songs always was the best one... like a reward for listener to sticking with him for 3 verses lol

We're prisoners of it, once you wet your feet in the Hip-Hop river you're in forever

Hip-hop actually helped branch me out to more genres, made me listen to full albums more, and made me appreciate and listen more to mixing, writing, delivery, cadence etc for all genres.

Without hip-hop I would be much less annoying when it comes to all forms of music.
