Who says Hip-Hop is dead? Hip-hop is alive in its truest, purest form telling the real stories, true stories – standing strong as the voice of a global urban community. The strength of hip-hop is being felt worldwide, from small villages & raucous cities in Africa, Europe, Asia, Latin America & yes still stronger than ever in the USA. Whether it’s Blitz the Ambassador channeling the survival strength of his independent Black Star nation homeland thru his New York state of mind by making us feel so alive with words that give us something to believe in or M.I.A silently & unapologetically forcing the world to face its ugly truths thru raw visuals that condemn & show the dangers & destruction of those in power & a world that participates in the targeting & genocide of specific minority groups. Whether it is Tego Calderon & Daddy Yankee single handedly putting the picante back in the rhythmic salsa of the Latino revival in hip-hop, Nneka calling on Africans to wake up as she brings a new Africa to the world, or Nas & Damian Junior Gong Marley returning to Africa thru the Trans-Atlantic passage way of their mutual ancestry to find themselves thru their distant relatives by bringing awareness thru the rhythms & sounds of storytelling past down to them thru their ancestors-HIP-HOP IS GLOBAL & IS ALIVE & WELL. As Blitz says “This is just the calm before the storm”!
Instead of complaining & allowing pay for play radio, record label executives & modern day minstrels to determine who & what hip-hop is -let’s take back the mic, search & support the type of hip-hop artists & music that you say you miss because they are out there-GLOBALLY taking it to the next level! “Show these corny muthaf*ckers what hip-hop is supposed to sound like” because “ur simple words just don’t move me..Ur minor we major” . Hip-Hop in its best form will always be “Classic..better than I’ve ever been.. TIMELESS so age don’t count in the booth when ur flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth..Don’t be blinded.. I got no jewels on my neck.. why? I don’t need them.. I got ur respect.. this is hip-hop & we’s a nation.. instead of broadcasting how we smoke them trees on the radio we need to hear more local MC’s.. where u at.. come on where u at.. this is the difference between MC’ing & rap.. (rappers) spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC’s spit rhymes to uplift their people..peace love & unity & having fun these are the lyrics of KRS One.. Classic.. I am everywhere u never been & better than I’ve ever been” ! All praises “to the hip the hop.. u don’t stop..Real Hip-HOP“!
Here are just a few global MC’s who give us all SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN!
THE WORLD IS READY !
