True Hiphop is a CULTURE I don't know what Kanye is trying to convey but I DO know, he's mixed up and makes pointless, baseless statements about Hiphop. For one, I can see he clearly doesn't know the difference between Hiphop and Rap. To quote the gea great KRS-One: "Rap is something you DO; Hiphop is how you LIVE." Kanye's people around him should have educated him one the FACT that this November, Hiphop Culture will be 45 years old. Yes, I said CULTURE. BEFORE we started rapping, deejaying, graffiti-ing, and break-dancing, we founded a CULTURE called Hiphop. Our culture was founded on four spiritual principles: Peace, Unity, Love, and Having Fun. By the time we incorporated the physical elements, we used them as tools to promote our beloved culture and its principles. Hiphop culture is full of people from all over the world who are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Catholic, Jewish and the like. We have ALWAYS written songs that educated, enlightened, and entertained. Way before Kanye had this grand idea to jump on Joel Osteen's bandwagon, KRS-One did a song called "You Must Learn" breaking the Bible down with no shame in his game. Kanye should know this: 90% of the people buying his music are lost, white kids who have YET to know what the culture truly is. Whatever Kanye is saying is resonating with THEM, not US. White people...hide your kids. Kanye's coming. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4L8FjXn7ON/?igshid=19m4lbq8v233h
