Hip Hop...Back to Basics...Today I was listening to my IPod but it felt more like an a-trak!

Really though, I should be a DJ...music with substance is what life is really about and too often real Hip Hop is misconstrued. Hip Hop culture began in the Bronx, in the 1970s. It is popular predominantly among African Americans and Latino Americans. Hip hop arose in New York City when DJs began isolating the percussion break from funk, or rock songs, making the music something you could smoothly rock your head to.
MCing or emceeing, is a vocal style in which the performer speaks rhythmically and in rhyme, generally to a beat. The role of the MC was originally to introduce the DJ and the music, and to keep the audience excited. Moreover, there is a slight difference now, "MCing" compared to rapping. MCing describes those artists who possess and exercise superior lyrical ability and prowess. (See tracks below)

For that reason, I Bang It Out on the Daily (I tell you everywhere I go I be bopin my head...you know you see me ;)
