When I became a dad and felt like hip-hop no longer seemed so relevant. How do you think the future in hip-hop is going? Well, now it seems like it’s all a kind of mess. Just trying to hold people together. Some of my heroes are the ones that try to get people together and […]
You know, it’s kind of a tricky question to answer without getting into too many rap-ese. 4 bars is slang for “two,” and it literally means “two bars.” This is a fairly modern definition of the word as it can be found across several different hip-hop genres. One of the earliest samples of a 4 […]
Do you think rap is more than four chords and a bit of rhyme? Is it “rap” instead of hip-hop? Is it just a rap song that you are saying? The rapper that is just doing this? Or is it a rapper whose career includes more than this? Does he think this is really rap? […]
