RHH: Your Hip-Hop Collection?
It looks like my hip hop album collection might actually start growing.
My first one was The Cool.
My favorite one is Theater Of The Mind.
The last one I got was King Of Rock, yesterday.
I hope to get Black On Both Sides, Untitled, Madvillainy, or The Massacre next.
Total albums owned ever: 4
What about you guys?
I only wanted to check out The Massacre because people argue that was the last time 50 made a good album (or music in general for that matter)

Paul asks…
young parents, hip-hop/ mostly graffiti…whats your opinion sorry its long?
Im a 22yr old mother of two, my son 7yrs old and my daughter will be 3 in july.
My boyfriend and me met 8yrs ago, and were both into the graffiti scene and hung with the hip hop crowd, Of course once we had our kids we left the illegal graffiti scene, also my boyfriend is a underground hip hop emcee, so underground is all we listen to lol my kids are growing up on it and seem to love it because it’s their daddy or their daddy’s friends they are listening to.
we have taken our kids to the graffiti art shows and they love it my daughter cause of the colors my son just enjoys the graffiti since he’s been around it all his life. he’s actually starting to try it him self. now i know its not anything to be proud of but i cant tell my son he cant when his dad and me do it, and graffiti is a big part of our life’s we are trying to our own store With our own graffiti clothing line, i tell my son that i don’t mind it but it can not be done on the streets or anywhere other than our garage or at his dads studio.
Now people may say we are bring our kids up wrong, but i see it like this if i would have let go of the hip hop music and graffiti habits i’d be one of those moms that shelters there kids from everything and honestly i think if im interested i can teach my kids early on that its fine to do it but not just anywhere, there’s places where they allow you to go paint on their walls or art shows
know that since we had our kids they have always came first, our kids never went with out. anything the needed they had anything they wanted they got, and only when my parents or my boyfriend’s parents asked to take the kids was when we would go and paint mainly in our garage.
i’d really like to know what people think, is like to see if people think we are bad parents because we like to paint and rather listen to hip hop than a kidz pop cd..
right and we do tell my 7yr old that no matter what he does see on the streets its right, and remind him that we have the garage for him to paint in and that his dads studio is there for that as well, and it seems to be sticking to him, im hoping at least
sorry ******we tell him that graffiti on the street is not right*****

I’m 23 and have a 3 year old son and I’m what some people would call a goth (cyber goth)
so I have drawn on eyebrows, love to wear colors and have crazy hair and listen to hard dance music.
My partner loves Heavy metal and Hard NRG music so our son is being brought up by that music.
Our son loves watching me put makeup on, he loves wearing colors and loves to dance to mum’s dance music and loves to rock out to his dad’s metal… He also enjoys anything musical really.
We also have friends who come over who are heavily tattooed and pierced, yet we have friends and family who don’t. So our son is growing up thinking that it’s ok to be different.
And I think that’s the best way to raise a child.
Yes he asks for tatts and piercings but we tell him no not till you’re older.
What I’m trying to entail is; is that bringing up your children on the things you like may be a good thing… I too dislike kiddy music but i let my son play it every now and again as variety is good.
The graffiti thing sounds awesome, perhaps you should do a family project with your son. Like get a huge canvas piece put it against the garage wall and design an awesome piece as a family. Explain that this is art and a way you can express yourself. (as true graffiti is art and tagging is what’s bad and it destroys many awesome graffiti pics.)

Your Favorite Random Hip Hop Quotes?
“Stop buggin’, a brother said, dig em, I never dug ’em
He couldn’t follow the leader long enough so I drug ’em
into danger zone, he should arrange his own
Face it, it’s basic, erase it, change ya tone
There’s one R in the alphabet
It’s a one-letter word and it’s about to get
More complex from one rhyme to the next”
Rakim – Follow The Leader
“Godammit I’m grown
gotta help keep the heat and lights on
it would be nice to have mo
but I kinda like being po
at least I know what my friends is here fo”
Cee-Lo – Thought Process
What is in your opinion, some classic lines?
EDIT: Doesn’t have to be a classic.. just your favsss
GardenersCardiff answers:
Random lines eh?
“Other emcees simulate, spectators stand when I hold the mic in my hand
Rip the stage and step off fill my pockets with grands
Ay yo thats word to your moms uncle and gramps
Mother or brother I’ll smother you for sure
cause I get down and yo you best take a style detour
That means change and rearrange your sound
Take it long range, Black Thought get strange when getting down
Hitting now hard into your chest piece tie it up into knots
Representing sick lines that bead with sweat
Emcees couldn’t forget
Black Thought came on the scene and rappers became upset.”
