Thats all you here is the mainstream did this and they did that and now they have labeled such and such hip hop or they changed the name to hip-pop. My questions is what are your ideas that can be implemented on an individual basis to help keep hip hop in the range it was created in. Whats some of the stuff that some of you guys do that we can all start doing to actually make a change as opposed to just saying thats the way it is. Me personally I dont suport business or magazines or stores that dont cater to the hiphop culture IE CompUSA, Circuit City, or HH Greg. These are all stores in my area that will sell the "pop hip-pop" items but will not cary more hard line original stuff or wont market to minorities as a general rule. I also disassociate myself with idividuals of other cultures who feel that they have to act "black" to be a part of hiphop. Hiphop is a melting pot and if you genuinely love hip hop you dont have to project an altered image to be percieved as part of the hiphop culture. I think that is what makes the ignorant fear hiphop and the greedy pimp hip hop. Take pink when she first came out was all on the hiphop tip for kids (yea yea i know). After she got paid she threw away the image and is all on the rock tip now. So just any thing that we all might be able to implement to make changes happen is what I am asking for?
