Hip Hop in films and media by Outland Reviews

Here is link on what Hip Hop could become
There is a great problem, within the media regarding hip hop. Frankly being the idea that its just a fade and used as advertising a of bunch nonsense to a degree. Films such as the step up series do not show the true essense of hip hop, music and lifestyle. Rather they tend to illustrate fancy or images that have almost trival expression, that demotes to concept of hip hop and its origins. Another example is that rappers these days are not expressing the meaning of hip hop clearly. They have music videos about nothing but sex, drug, alchole and other varities that serve no justice within real hip hop communities. At the same time, that is the entertainment industry, which bases it ideals soley on profits. At the end of the day they neglect a very important structure of what hip hop is. That it is like all other genres of music or self-expression or art as people call it. And when entertaiment businesses use hip hop as nothing but a vehicle for profit it degrades that art greatly, halting it's evolution to nothing more than a dance flick or some angry rapper that's trying to strike gold. The essense of hip hop is built on foundations such as bboying, MC, scratching, and graffite. All these elements are concepts of expression within real hip hop. They share the goal of describing conflicts, resolve, and growth as individuals, just like everyother dance or music genre, to art. For those reasons,Hip hop has died, by the hand of the entertainment industries. Hopefully someone will review this documentary to understand the it's a culture of the world.
This is what Hip Hop is

I never expected anything, or wanted anything, but I do know that the popular raps that you like are not what hip hop is about. I guess real hip hop is dead, if everybody wants to listen to a bunch of rich boys talk about their hummers and escalates. If rapping was real poetry I don't think the size of woman's ass is the appropriate lyrics, but I guess what sells sells.

Nas made Hip Hop is Dead because he wasn't feeling alot of the songs on the radio and even he's said Hip Hop is in good shape right now...If you want HIP HOP CULTURE back then you could try and back it back but that would just make you look like a fool....Graffiti Art=Jail time or HUGE fine! and only dancers should attempt bboying...
Rapping is poetry and it's the only thing keeping the culture alive...These are different times so you can't expect people to still Bboy or spray paint Graffitti(Without getting caught)

My point isn't about Hip Hop overseas I guess I should've clarify that. In New York they already got rid of all the graffites, at least that's I heard from one of my art student friends. I never said anything was unpopular, I just said the media is not being true to Hip Hop nature, that is why Nas made the song "Hip Hop is dead" for example. Mainly what I'm trying to say is the American Media has not been kind to protrayals of hip hop. I feel there hasn't been development in that area. For that reason many people who watches a dance flick or something hip hop related that it really degrades Hip Hop culture as a form of expression, hense example the death of bboying in the United States in the 80s.

Graffit Art still exists...New York & certain part of Europe have graffiti all over the place
DJing is still VERY popular...When the fuck did DJing ever become unpopular???? NEVER!
Bboying still exists outside of America infact isn't it pretty popular in Japan????

I beg to differ, hip hop is subjective just like art. If you think that hip hop is quote on quote only Jay-z or Kanye west, mainstream media monguls then I believe you don't understand the concept. Yes I did lose interest in what you believe is hip hop. My point was hip hop is art, not music about hot women and trying to get them to the hotel, or lame catchy songs, that I will forget in a few years or months. Art survives. I still remember the graffites, "don't sweat the technique," bboying, and DJing that was real hip hop.
