They played this at the bar...

Myself, Gabe, and Jewett were at the Ultimate Bar and Grill on Camp Creek in College Park when the VJ dropped this little nugget on the crowd. The 80's were great. The funny thing is, a quick internet search will show you that this dude is still getting money off this song. He's constantly performing this shit everywhere !!! Produced and written by Teddy Riley and Aaron Hall respectively.

IF YOU DONT GRIND YOU DONT SHINE

Hip-Hop Style ? um, yeah...

For the past few years, the popular phrase amongst rap fans and industry insiders has been "Hip-Hop is Dead". A lot of people blame the newer artists for this perceived lack of quality, while others blame the record labels for putting their money and muscle behind the wackness. It can't truly be dead, because i still see signs of energy and vibrancy permeating the culture today. The problem is, we gave up too much stock in our culture to corporate america when we realized we could use our music and lifestyle to make a buck. Were at a point now where corporate america has been telling us what hip-hop is for so long that we've accepted it and believe it. Instead of constantly creating and bouncing new ideas, we're just going along for the ride.




I thought the whole point of bringing hip-hop into the business arena was to show that one could become a success without having to look like this guy:
It seems like that logic has been thrown out of the window. The fans don't even respect a new artist unless they're primped like my man Rocko up there (I kinda like his songs though). If anything is killing the culture, its all these rules. Its like wearing costumes and uniforms. What part of the game is that ? Especially for a culture thats supposedly so immersed in the hood. Aint no Louis Vutton stores in the hood mofucka !!! You gotta go to Phipps for that ! And you know they'll throw yo ass out wearing them baggy ass pants. I guess what im trying to say is, we need to make the effort to retake control of our culture and the way that we're represented around the world. If we continue to live in a box, then we really will be living in a box.
