Good or "real" hiphop's definition too often hinges on the false divisions that fans construct to boost their position as superior because they're up on Brother Ali or whoever.

real spit. the divisions in hiphop are such a new thing too- when somebody is hung up on that shit you instantly know that their history ends 10 years ago at best.

talking that mainstream vs. underground/
rap vs. hiphop/
conscious vs. negative
shit is wild '98.

word to larry's comment about '98. i specifically remember a friend's older brother telling me in 1998 that jay-z was "rap" and ATCQ was "hiphop" like he had reinvented definitions for the words. it sounded dumb then and sounds dumb now.

Hip Hop is so fuckin' rad right now! Becky, it's like...totally in the building! I'm so excited!

But that KRS One guy still annoys me. What the hell is he talking about anyway? Nobody likes a know it all and he's just soooo nerdy like.

And what's up with graf? It's just so killer. Like, I'm soooo feeling Neck Face.

I'm totally going to Journey's at South Center right now to buy a pair if Dunks.

Hollaaaaa
