Hip Hop As a Way of Life (Jazzalude III)

Hip hop is a way of life

It ain t a fact

It ain t a trend

Not for those of us who are true to it

It s reflected in our slide in our walk and in our stares

In our dress and in our attitude

Hip hop has a history, an origin and a set of principles including rules and regulations that a lot of this new kids overlook nowadays

Music itself acts as a safety valve in society

If there was no hip hop music, there would be much more chaos in the street than we have now

It s our way to release tension, to let out the frustration that young people face in the world today

Over the years hip hop has evolved to represent what is happening now, the reality of street life

Rap is the oral expression of things, the tool, the literature

Hip hop is the lifestyle, the philosophy and even the religion if i may

Just as jazz has had its own culture, rap music has it's own culture which we proudly call hip-hop

Of all the music and lifestyle that is now propagandized by the media and is now exploited by big bussiness

It will still remain for some of us as the raw essence of life
