Want to hear real hip-hop?
Posted by mamta on Thursday, June 10, 2010 (00:44:08)
There since the beginning have been Talib Kweli and his partner in rhyme, DJ Hi-Tek. For Kweli, poetry is written for the benefit of mankind – equality, not the ego (i.e., dropping the “I’s” and “me’s” in the verses and replacing them with “we’s” and “us’s”).

Posted by mamta on Friday, April 02, 2010 (07:55:39)
To me house music is just syncopated sound without words. It's got no poetry, just repetition. I can't take that repetition. And rap--it's a business. It's basically done to get some dough. People who ...

A poet's defence of underground hip-hop and rap
Posted by mamta on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 (04:15:41)
Yes, hip-hop nowadays, especially the mainstream is very superficial and lacks creativity and depth. But there has been and still is an underground movement and factions of brilliant rappers whose lyrics are conscious, creative, educational, complex, controversial, thought-provoking and beautiful. To me, rap is more challenging than poetry because it is governed by rhythm, rhyme, beats, bars, word-play and so forth. ...

Where We're From
Posted by anna9 on Thursday, September 03, 2009 (07:10:00)
From stpaulrealestateblog.com :I'm a sucker for my city. Hip hoppers in particular know how to hype their hometown to the point you can't think of them without thinking of their city. Snoop = Long Beach. Nelly = St. Louis. Ludacris = Atlanta. I think that's pretty cool. I'd like it if people looked at me and thought, "Man, that's some serious Saint Paul right there." Link!
