Fukk your corny debates
Double
LOL, i saw what you wrote
but here is the real problem with what vic is saying and this whole notion of hip hop is just music
1) its funny he posted that video of that conservative rap because that is the perfect exhibit as to why its a mistake to say hip hop is just music, under the hip hop is just music definition those guys are definitely hip hop, using that definition anybody can exploit the culture and that is exactly what's happened, that is why real hip hop heads never go around saying hip hop is just music or make rap music the defining characteristic of hip hop
2) nowadays hip hop music is one of the defining aspects of black culture , so there is a method to the madness of trying to accentuate the knowledge element of hip hop
but notice how vic tried to create a dichotomy between hip hop and a professor at Cambridge and MIT and he tried to mock me trying to align hip hop with high academic achievement
so in other words he is trying to emphasize that rap, which is a very important part of black culture, has nothing to do with high academic achievement, what message is going to kids by people doing that???
so on those 2 points its clear how pernicious the concept of hip hop is just music is and its clear who is actually pro hip hop and pro black
the question vic needs to ask himself is, are you really hip hop or are you just a guy that "raps pretty well", it sounds to me that you're just a guy that raps pretty well, so forgive me for dismissing your definition of hip hop and you got a lot of nerve suggesting that i hold positions or make statements antithetical to hip hop
I never did that. That's the problem with you...you are simply stupid. That prevents you from following a fairly basic line of reasoning. I scoffed at your silly implication that knowledge in itself makes someone hip-hop, as you defined yourself as being hip-hop for supposedly focusing on knowledge. I did not state or imply that high academic achievement was in any way antithetical to or disparate from hip-hop. Just like I didn't state or imply hip-hop is inherently marxist or leftist. Reread the sentence and maybe you'll figure it out.
Your general lack reasoning ability is why it's a moot point to argue with you. Quite frankly, I consider you and your views on this to be a joke. I don't respect your opinion enough for me to consider it worthy of even the miniscule effort it takes to dissect and refute. Lord knows I've done it before, as have many others. I literally laugh at your posts about hip-hop...now stop begging for my attention.
but again, im using the krs definition of hip hop, maybe its my bad for not emphasizing that, i was speaking of knowledge in the hip hop sense (not in the general sense), in the hip hop sense knowledge by itself makes you hip hop, and it follows from that that pursuing the knowledge element of hip hop puts you in the same universe as a professor at cambridge or MIT, that is why your analogy is in terms of hip hop, a true hip hop head would not try to create any dichotomy between the knowledge element and a professor at a university
as far as the leftist/marxist thing, i already said, its my bad if you werent trying to say that, but to me that certainly seemed the implication of what you were saying, but im glad we cleared that up
if you disagree with the krs definitions thats fine, you are free to disagree and continue with your pernicious 'hip hop is just music' definition but please refrain from making blasphemous statements questioning my hip hop credentials and besmirching my character just cuz you dont like hip hop philosophy
That's nice.
