5. Knowledge, Culture and Overstanding
There are lesser elements of hip hop including Fashion, Promoting, Beatboxing, Funkstyles, Flyer-Making, and many others. However, these are often debated as to whether they are hip hop ELEMENTS, or simply a part of hip hop culture.
The Universal Zulu Nation spreads the word of peace, love, unity, and having fun through the many Elements of Hip Hop culture.

NAS said this after fuckin songs like Laffy Taffy and A Bay Bay came out and people actually drove around listening to it thinking it was cool! It means REAL MEANINGFUL MUSIC isn't made anymore! I agree with ya NAS!
Laffy Taffy is considered REAL MUSIC and is put into the same category as NAS - ONE MIC..Hip Hop is dead!

1. True, when D12 rapper Proof died he took hip hop with him, a lot of people say when 2Pac died he took hip hop with him, but after that artists were still talented after that happened so I dont believe that. But after Proof died so called "artists" like Hurricane Chris and Soulja Boy came in and killed Hip Hop and people stopped making meaningful songs and made songs about dances. Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Hurricane Chris, Flo Rida, and Young Jeezy are all Wanksta's who killed Hip Hop.
2. An Album made by rapper Nas that was also made in 2006, he knows that Hip Hop died in 2006 as well.
1. *The Day of April 11, 2006*
Real Hip Hop Fan: Oh no its April 11, 2006! Proof's gonna die today and soon faggots like Soulja Boy and Hurricane Chris are gonna start their career! Dammit! R.I.P. Hip Hop 1971-2006 and R.I.P. Proof 1973-2006.
2. Hip Hop is Dead was a great album by rap legend Nas.

The horn/sound effect added to most hip hop songs to execute a song transition, or just to hype a song up.
There needs to be a hip hop horn at the beginning of that song.
