Hip-Hop Culture

. "A young scholar once told me
rap is the business
and hip-hop is the culture
or cultivation of an oppressed expression
for mind stimulation
yet the elements
or elementary degrees
vary from clothes to lyrical flows
and backspins to cuttin' and scratchin'
or even just relaxin' to a live;
take you on a joy ride vibe
which can be created through our art forms
expressed through our songs
while devoted to keeping hiphop strong"

    --Poetry in Motion by Halex the Armegeddon
    from X-pressions by the X-ecutioners

I've just finished my first attempt at a hiphop mix. Its entitled Hiphopulence.
Give it a listen and tell me what you think.
