This is my first blog so I guess ill just start off by saying that this blog is gonna be strictly hip hop because thats pretty much all I listen to. Hip hop is broken down into a bunch of sub categories but to be honest I have never been able to make at clear difference between hip hop and rap (maybe you guys can help me out on that), what I consider hip hop is artist like Flo-rida, Kanye west, and Lupe fiasco and pretty much started with run-dmc. Then rap is more of a hardcore type of hip hop with artist like Young Jeezy, lil wayne, Pac and Big. Rappers today are some of the highest payed men in the music industry with artists selling millions of albums in their first week of release. But its not the albums that build their fame for a lot of us its actually the mixtapes that they release with different Djs.For those of us who follow mixtapes this is how we judge rappers true talent based on a variety of things like consistency,creativity,flow and diversity its not just lyrics. Its more then just HOs this or Drugs that,like Ross would say “Its deeper then rap”
