This is the tenth time i have backspaced all the way to the beginning of the sentence and finally we have a sentence going but wow is this irrelevant. That is how difficult it is to start talking about a topic like "What is HipHop". I feel this way not because I lack knowledge on the topic, but because i feel too greatly about it and have too much to say. So maybe i will start off by saying what Hip Hop is NOT. Hip hop has absolutely nothing to do with how many chains you rock, how low your jeans is sagging or how many chicks you got on the side. It has nothing to do with the way you speak, the slang you use or the way you twist and turn your fingers tryna throw up gang signs. Most importantly, it has nothing to do with how many "yo's" you put in your sentence or add to the beginning of your name. If you know then you know. Hip hop in my eyes, is your chance to be yourself. Your chance to be original and spill whats in your heart in the most creative and truthful way. It is a medium for artists to paint a picture, to tell a story or shed light on a topic that they feel strongly about.

Hip Hop is life, I live Hip Hop everyday. HipHop allows me to express or in other words, is an outlet to my emotions. I treat my verses like a diary and feed it all my deepest secrets, weaknesses and strengths. Some verses I write for the listener, some I write for myself and when I do, Hip Hop becomes therapeutic. It heals me mentally, almost like I have a trustworthy friend I can reside in. Hip Hop lets me tell my story, helps me to inspire that One Kid With a Dream to continue dreaming and chase his passion regardless of what the society or his parents tell him. To all the rappers in India, use Hip Hop to tell your story, do not imitate American rappers. We have a long way to go and lot more to grow, let's make this journey beautiful(BeYou-tiful)!

To me Hip Hop is the only religion in the world which allows us to follow our free-will. While there maybe arguments that Hip Hop is a culture and people are paving the right ways to create a code of conduct, I would object and say, sorry preachers and teachers of hip hop there are no commandments to be followed as such. I strongly do not advocate counter ethical values but my point is and should be clear that you should do whatever you want to, to lead a constructive, productive life with the elements of Hip Hop.

The four elements (Rap, Dj'ing, Break Dancing, Graffiti Painting) are the basis and Foundational pillars of Hip Hop which allow self expression in the most creative way ever. Hip Hop is a pursuit of happiness in which some may resort to it for fame and money, some for revolutionary messages, to some its just a hobby and this is directly proportionate to doing whatever you want to. There is nothing wrong in taking up Hip Hop for fame and money even if this means selling out, making cheesy rap lines that will sell because worst case scenario if this is your career, your bread and butter you might just have to sell out. This is one reason you see guys at the top with wacky/cheesy lines topping billboard charts rather than those who make sense lyrically and have revolutionary motives. At the end of the day its your pursuit just be true to yourself and ask yourself does this make me happy? Well, I started off with Bboying and moved on to rap with a slight drift to reggae/dancehall music. I have really enjoyed my journey following Hip-Hop for almost 10 years now, it has helped me learn quite a bit in the ocean of experiences in which I have lots more to learn and this will be never-ending, have met quite a lot of people with same synergistic enthusiasm for Hip Hop. I would conclude saying Hip Hop is a window that helps you channelize your ideas/expressions to the world so use it well.

Hip hop is not just a music genre. Its an culture a culture based on expressing your self. What you think, what you feel, what gets you mad, what is your view. There is no guide line to Hip Hop. People are like that is not hip hop this and that, Desi Hip Hop is only Bohemia and rest are shit Honey Singh is this and that. Well straight up hip hop is saying what you fell like. Money, Hoes, Guns or Matters at hand, Depression, Politics. Its all about keeping it real. When I was a kid Hip Hop got me throw tough times. Got me some confidence . Where I was good at something the way I wrote rhymes and all. 
It got me that yes I am Different and its good to different. As a Sikh growing was a bit tough cause people made fun of my hair and all. Hip Hop got to me and I my mind changed. Hip Hop is a mind thing, As I grew so did my thinking so did my style so did my lyrics. Hip Hop in India is fine its making its way. Even when Hip Hop started people din have such great flows or beats or even rhymes. It took time and it takes time. 
 
Keep Expressing your self don't give a f*ck you know. Thats HIP HOP

To me, Hip Hop is a way of life. It's the way you feel inside, and how you express those feelings through a track. It's a tool that many people have used in the past to take a stand and make a difference. "Be the change." That's what they say, and I believe that you cannot begin to change the world until you can bring a change to yourself. Through Hip Hop we can all bring a change to the world. It has always been that way. Whether it be Rapping, flash mobs performed by Hip Hop dancers or graffiti, they have all been used to touch lives and open eyes. 
Hip Hop has changed a lot over the years and has been commercialized, effecting the mind set of people. There is a huge misunderstanding among the people who think that wearing baggy clothes, long chains, smoking weed, acting like a gangster, talking about clubs, women and alcohol in a track makes one a real Hip Hop artist, but I'm afraid that's not Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop is an Art that can bring a revolution to this sad, mean, two faced, corrupted world. Mainstream does not favor the underground artists cause people don't want to listen to reality because they find it boring. Whenever I'm going through a mood swing, I get away from the crowd and write on what I feel. I've been writing for 6 years and I always try to write something that could bring change. I talk about my life and about the hurdles that life's given me. My aim is to make tracks based on reality and touch the lives of the people, so they can understand that they aren't alone and, also, relate to me so I can help them fight and rise above their own hurdles that they face. If I can inspire a handful of people then I'm happy with my work. It isn't easy to make it big but again nothing comes easy in life. 
Many artists hire expensive rides and dress up rich just to show how cool they look. But if you aren't keeping it real then you aren't Hip Hop. Like I always say to young rappers who come to me for advice, "Don't fake it to make it." Be yourself and success will come through hard work, patience and time. Hip Hop culture is growing, but I've seen how the other branches of Hip Hop hate on each other. Unity is strength and we all have to understand that only by coming together can this culture survive. I am me, and that is why I am Hip-Hop. Shout out to all the Rappers, DJs, Dancers, MC's , and Graffiti artists doing their thing and keeping it real. Hip-Hop isn't dead, it's just hidden...hidden underground and on the verge of rising. Never give up and keep chasing your dreams cause you can make a difference.

An extraordinary culture, the struggle, an enthusiasm that pumps to bring out a revolution is HipHop. 
Listeners love it for chains, swag, dope, girls,fame, Porsche rides, money, expressing feelings, turning mass crowd crazy and the freedom of speech. According to me, Indians are loving hiphop as its new concept for them. In addition, the co-rappers are pushing hard to maintain the connectivity, between them and the audience. I salute to all the Indian rappers and followers, who are pushing the movement to a new height. 
Myself Siz the hindi rapper from India, started rapping 4yrs back after being influenced by west coast rappers. When I found the rap culture is forming its root in India, I started writing by hearing the free peppy sample beats available on the Internet. Later, when my friends started encouraging me, it boosted my inner soul. My first step on the stage made me believe that “I can do it”.Since then I never looked back, just kept on pacing hard 
“Vo kehtey hai na -123 meri fauj tayaar, ladkey diler nikley karney ko shikaar, aar ya paar, aaj hoga hisaab! Rokney pe n ahi hai rukhna, likha hai apni kismet mei bhi – Kamyaabi ka Taaz” 
I started doing for the bass that kills every vibe, I do it as it makes me feel young. I will be doing it till my last breath. It doesn’t matter the record label publish or not, the dumb cheques come or not. Personally, I am doing to bring the real swagger to India. 
HipHop is a religion and I am proud to say – I am counted amongst the believers of the religion.

Hip Hop is not a genre, it's a culture like, these days, so many people think hip hop is rap and vice-versa. But in the real manner hip hop is a life in which mcing, DJing, scratching, break dancing, beat boxing & graffiti writing are there so this is hip hop and about RAP (Rhythm and Poetry) For me it's an art, where you express yourself whether it will be good or bad, whatever be, it is but just the point is express yourself or express your feelings like love, gangsta and so on but these days what is happening here people talks about guns, alcohols, drugs etc. but in their whole life they never see a real gun and not even they got a drop of daaru. So, if u want to be a real artist or rapper just be real, just write your own thoughts on paper. 
 
"one thing more to the listening crowd. 
help yourself or die with the proud." 
 
and yes,if u want to live in this culture then start living this lifestyle then u know what is hip hop.

What is Hip-Hop? Hip-Hop is a culture. Hip-Hop is an individual's reflection either on the society or on the whole world. The time during the 80s and the 90s was undoubtedly the golden era of Hip Hop, I mean sure at that time rappers used to rap about guns, drugs, black oppression and stuff but that's what actually used to happen during that time in their lives, it's like they used to make songs to be passed on as tales to tell from generation to generation. Commercialism has always been a major phase of Hip Hop. Now, we consider Jay-Z as one of them greats but today even he raps about how many women he has slept with, how much money he has or what kinda cars he drive and that's just because that is what the people wanna vibe to nowadays. I'd like to rectify what I said, Hip-Hop is not just an individual's reflection on either the society or the whole world but also the whole world's or the society's reflection on an individual. Hip-Hop is an art, Hip-Hop is the freedom of speech and action, Hip-Hop is a state of mind, Hip-Hop is a culture, Hip-Hop is a lifestyle.
