The hidden symbiotic nature of a genre of "street" music and it's (material/drug)culture or physical (ghetto) project.
In nearly every respect, this reality is thoroughly produced and/or maintained by the corporate elite and banking interests of the United States.
Many of the lyrics selected for wide distribution become a disguised permeation of aggressive ideological free market undertones. Abstracted, these messages are mediated through ground level criminals turned musicians along with the corporations who produce and distribute them.
While quarrels between black artists and their various music labels are dramatized and publicized, most celeibrated hip hop is ultimately funded and broadcast by 3 multinational conglomerates. The large majority of rap music is owned by the General Electric Company.
Corporate elites representing a tiny fraction of the population hold a monopoly on the means to produce and disseminate popular music. This is then coupled with their studio's ability to select recording artists. The claim that what is produced is based on what will sell takes the public into yet another realm of faith when these same elite interests control radio play.
When the realities of the drug(and prisoner) trade are taken into account, violent pro-drug music, drugs, prisons, ghetto projects, weapons, clothing, Cadillacs, Rims, Rolland 808s and even the drug dealers/rappers themselves truly complete a profit structure owned and managed by a few racist white men.
The vast majority of the hip hop product is anti human. A perfected, normalized and deeply invested racism of the highest degree. It is a physical manifestation of black on black abandon, disguised within and indeed entrapping the very nature of African American culture.
Drug rap is a lubricant of the drug trade. It's glamor is a prize awarded for self hatred. It isolates all peoples of the earth by selling and aggrandizing the separation of the sexes. Possibly worst of all, it abstracts concepts garnered from ghetto parlance (like pimping or ballin') and thoroughly injects them into the rest of the global (material) youth culture.
The commodified ego of modern Hip Hop is the very heart of a society of Spectacle.
A devastatingly collusive strategy and sadly; complete Hip Hocricy.

Hip Hop is a social-political movement created in the late 70's. Hip Hop is a culture to give people who grew up in the ghetto a voice, songs in hip hop are spoken from personal experience. Songs are usually mixed with other genres of music like rock and classical (piano), or with record players and scratchers. Break Dancing and Graffiti is also apart of hip hop as a way to express the people apart of the cultures selves, Freestyling is also a major part of hip hop along with rap battles.
"Some people argue that hip hop is dead, I believe that hip hop lives underground, the unfortunate thing is that the culture is getting smaller and smaller."
"Don't confuse hip hop for rap music, rap is just words, hip hop is the context, the beat, the dance movements, hip hop is a culture, and if you grew up in the ghetto and found a voice in hip and use personal experience in the context of your rap, and use record scratchers and mix genres of music then you are most likely apart of the culture."

The state of being especially well-versed in a particular area of expertise. There are no boundaries for what constitutes a subject that can be considered a person's area of expertise. Experts specialize in topics that range from dating to bowel movements. Simple cursory knowledge of a topic does not fulfill the requirements for attaining this lofty status. An individual who reaches this state has intimate knowledge of his specialty, and has honed his craft over a considerable period of time. A suitable comparison is a person who has achieved the rank of Grand Master in chess. The only difference is that there is no governing body that determines one's eligibility to be deemed worthy of this status. Rather, a person's eligibility to be deemed "hip to the game" is established by a plurality amongst their peers. If no consensus can be reached, it is clear that the person in question does not reach the high standards associated with this label. Also, an individual who is privy to certain information not available to the general public may be classified as being "hip to the game." It may also be used as a verb ("hippin' you to the game" or "hippin'" for short). The verb conjugation of the phrase is used when an expert is passing on his expertise to less knowledgeable persons. This form of the phrase was originally used to describe the relationship between wise master and eager apprentice, but today it is used colloquially as a term to describe any informal teaching process.
Bob: Son, there are mad females at the pool today!
Tom: Really?

Larry: Did you hear that Sean got indicted by the feds for insider trading?
John: Yeah, what a shame. I hate the S.E.C. Call it what you will but the only thing that he's guilty of is being hip to the game.
Larry: True, true.

The indentation of male hips made visible by large abdominal muscles. They are called "penis hips" in that they tend to point directly to the penis. aka "Groin Dip", "G.I. Joe Muscle", "Inguinal Crease", "Jesus Crease", "Devil's Horns", and "Thunder Road"
Quote by Lisa Frydman's "The New Hot Spot" (Chicago Sun Times January 11, 2005)
"The inverted pyramid-shaped lower muscle group, which comprises the psoas (Greek for loin), iliacus and hip abductors, can be found beneath the belly button. If you're lean and those muscles are well-developed, they're nicely showcased above the waistband of low-rise jeans.
Think Brad Pitt in the famous "Fight Club" (1999) scene, in which he appears at the door wearing nothing but yellow rubber gloves as the camera zooms in on his well-defined "love muscle, " Matthew McConaughey (in anything), singers Nelly, Usher and D'Angelo in music videos, soccer star David Beckham, Mark Wahlberg (especially during his Calvin Klein modeling days) and Velvet Revolver's frontman Scott Weiland."
Why does Pink have penis hips?
