    I don't read threads with "hip-hop" in the subject, but is this the result of this thread?

    excellent!

    So how about crate digging as another sub-culture or a fifth element?

    YES.

    But I remember hearing a cat speak about cultures at a lecture."What's really a culture, a collection of bacteria in a cup of yogurt.........."

    You can dissect this question all day but to think about what Bronx kids'influence on the globe....

    Visual Art
    Fashion/Glamour
    Language
    Sports
    Food & Liquor
    Music
    Mythology
    Attitude/Poses
    Sneaker Design
    Car Design
    African History
    Male/Female Relations
    Racism

    Maybe you cats in Iowa and shit cant grasp the depth. This shit is way bigger than a microphone.

    It seems like people want to say hip hop isn't a culture mostly cause they don't want to define it/ or submit to a "4 elements" definition (relevant to some but outmoded for most). True, the KRSs of the world are gonna give you a limited definition, but it's in their interest to do so.

    I know the way I think, speak, hear, and dress has been impacted by hip hop. I listen to soft, folky shit and hear loops!

    it went from 4 elements to 4 ways to ruin a culture

    glorify being a gangster
    change the image of "hip hop"
    sign overrated rappers like tupac
    put a whole bunch of booty in your face

    the end
