Beat Maker Hip Hop

The whole #hiphop culture talks about money, but it's a small group that actually has it.

#Hiphop has everything from the #music to the art to the dance to the language.

#Hiphop is bigger than the South; hip-hop is bigger than New York.

Especially when I'm in the gym, I get really motivated by #hiphop.

There are a lot more words that go into a #hiphop song than go into a regular song. It's brash.

When we talk about #hiphop in general, hip-hop's basically preoccupied with life.

I guess #hiphop has been closer to the pulse of the streets than any #music we've had in a long time.

The Bronx is famous for two things. #Hiphop, and 26 world championships.

#Hiphop was created out of necessity. We needed to create some digitized things to help us understand what we were feeling.

#Hiphop is still cool at a party. But to me, hip-hop has never been strictly a party; it is also there to elevate consciousness.

With The Fugees initially, and even with 'Miseducation', it was very #hiphop - always a singing over #beats.

#Hiphop is the last true folk art.

Dancehall is just like #hiphop in that it doesn't always talk about bling; it talks about conscious issues.

As hard as it is, as ghetto as it is, #hiphop is #popmusic.

#Hiphop is the celebration of pride in a lifestyle.

I think a number of the leaders are, whether you like it or not, in the #hiphop generation.
