(Set 2) Studio shots of my Hip-Hop History inspired line “The Fifth Element.” Afrika Bambaataa first stared that the Fifth Element of Hip-Hop was Knowledge. “[Knowledge] is the glue that holds the artistic elements within the context of hip-hop. Without knowledge, a person who can rap will never be an emcee. A person who can mix records on a turntable can never be considered a DJ if he or she doesn't have knowledge. Spinning on your head without possessing knowledge only makes you capable of getting dizzy. Tagging the walls without knowledge is just vandalism. Knowledge is the element that explains the difference between mainstream society and the hip-hop community. It helps the people of hip-hop learn about and embrace their differences, from language to physical abilities. It teaches the hip-hop community how to properly express themselves for the entire world to experience.” http://acrnhiphop101.blogspot.com/2010/04/hiphops-5th-element-kickin-knowledge.html?m=1
