What Song Made You Fall in Love with Hip-Hop?

A lot of people succumb to, when describing rap, saying the almost cliche "Hip-Hop is Dead." Although Nas' controversial album titled this commercialized and standardized this term there is no doubt that it existed before. Now a days, people are quick to chuck the term out there to oversimplify the state of Hip-Hop culture.

People don't realize however, that when they say, Hip-Hop is dead, they kill themselves. Especially so called rappers that further taint Hip-Hops dying perception. One thing they don't realize is that when you say that you're dying, you feel like you're doing. Ask those who deal with ageism. Sociologist call it the labeling theory but when you look in a certain direction when you're driving, it's hard to keep going straight.

This is where YOU come in. Hip-Hop lives in us. And we are VERY VERY alive. Welcome to the "Vital Signs" campaign - a campaign driven by those who live, breathe and eat Hip-Hop as a culture.
