Greetings Folks,
Metaphysics = Philosophy of the mind; theory of the cause and underlying nature of reality.
Personally, I look at Hip Hop as if it is this generation's creative interpretation of the primeval force of artistry and innovativeness. I dare to state that religion has always been born out of necessity, and so, following this very (agnostic) equation, Hip Hop is the ultimate voice of the voiceless.
I found the following citation on MySpace (thanks Yosh): "Happy people don't just get up one day, have a little chat with God and say "yo G man, I've been thinking of starting my own belief system, what's the deal?," And the big guy happily replies "fill out an application form..." These things come about out of turmoil - out of necessity, socially, politically and on an individual level, because we need to believe in something outside ourselves".
Now, look at the original idea of the B-Boy... And the 4 elements... that's on the same wavelength as many far-out esoteric doctrines (in Yosh's own words: "some far-eastern monastery ish"). All these different disciplines taught under one name. Same as Shaolin practice in China. Same as old Samurai practice in Japan. Same as Indian Yoga... All broad philosophies made up of different disciplines that emphasize different aspects of what we are...
Hip-Hop is an infinite (eternal) Creative Spirit. It is a culture - SCHOOL OF THOUGHT - in which freedom of expression - however controversial - is what is of paramount importance.
Hip Hop is consisting of 4 main pillars - based on creativity:
B-Boying stands for the danced,
MCing for the literal,
DJing for the musical and
Writing for the graphical expression.
It's important to note that Hip-Hop has other elements as well; the scope of hip hop driven creativity grew beyond the boundaries of its traditional four elements. For instance, KRS-ONE names nine elements of hip hop culture: the traditional four and beatboxing, plus street fashion, street language, street knowledge, and street entrepreneurism.
Hip Hop can't be consumed, it MUST be lived (not by buying expensive clothes & bling bling shit but by improving one's skills in one or more of the elements day by day).
My Dear Friends, y'all must understand - 'The Lord', 'God', 'Allah', 'Jesus', or any other title/name affiliated, created or founded by an economy-based, fictitious, ideological man-made 'faith', and/or religion, is manifested by separatism and has separatist effects on perceived reality, because it is inconclusively founded. A WISE MAN ONCE SAID, “…THE STRONGEST FORM OF ‘FAITH’ IS, KNOWING, THAT YOU DON’T KNOW…”
True Hip-Hop heads respect all people of different conclusions, beliefs and ‘faiths’.
Just because I was born here doesn't mean that I have to consider myself a part of that system, country or economic establishment... I live on The Creators' country (so to speak). We call it Earth... All of this man-made ideology is a mental illness, which de-capacitates our ability, and our children's ability, to relate self-respect to respecting Mother Nature \ Mother Earth \ The Creator(s).
It is clearly not UNDERSTOOD and\or IMPLIED by millions who claim "to live & love Hip Hop" that the main purpose, goal and benefit of Hip Hop is the personal control of one's own life, destiny and happiness within this 'system' and/or environment which is clearly not conducive with self-control or happiness. This is why we (true Hip-Hop heads) love to see beautiful graffiti art on big ugly trains (... that kill the air we need...). This is why we love the extremely funky, rhythmically inclined and ultra-creative (original!) art form we call Hip Hop music, which the mainstream finds so repulsive ("...I can't understand what they are saying..."). This is why we love to 'breakdance' and 'scratch' those records the way we do which goes totally against 'the flow' of conventional music and dance creativity. Hip Hop is a revolutionary culture\movement with a much deeper purpose than simple rebellion, and/or positive recreation.
HIP-HOP IS PROVIDING AN ANSWER FOR MILLIONS OF TODAY'S YOUTH. A WAY OUT OF THE SYSTEMATIC PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, ECONOMIC AND SPIRITUAL SLAVERY THAT IS 'NORMAL' IN TODAY'S SOCIETY. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A BRAND NEW WAY, SOMETHING ENTIRELY FRESH! HIP HOP MAY NOT BE THE ANSWER FOR EVERYBODY, BUT IT IS GIVING MILLIONS A PURPOSE IN LIFE, WHEN THE HYPOCRISY OF THE GOVERNMENT, SCHOOLS AND CHURCH FAILS TO MAKE ANY MORE SENSE...
Peace, Unity & Love,
Wings
