Is Hip Hop Forever?

What if tomorrow when you wake up (God Willing) this thing we live called Hip Hop just no longer existed?

It's often been said that 'nothing last forever'--- but does it include Hip Hop?

At some point in all of our lives there was a point when Hip Hop fused into our souls; where it became something you live instead of something you do.

For a ever growing majority, Hip Hop has truly been forever because it embraced and nutured them as soon as they entered the world like a tertiary parent.

And for those fortunate enough to have experienced all or most of Hip Hop's growth and transitions we hope it does last forever.

But with the growth and maturity of a culture or movement comes the natural thought that every beginning has and end. Every borned life (style) has a death. A harsh reality is that Hip Hop might not always be there for our Great Granchilden, our grandchildren heck maybe not even for us!?!?!!

With that being said it is upon us to preserve our culture. It is up to us to protect our tribe. Through knowing where we've been to know where we're are going is just one of the ways we can ensure survival.

Also taking the time to appreciate what we have now because as bad as we may think ringtone rap is compared to how to the golden of the art form it used to be... it can always be worse (scary)!

Ensure Hip Hop Finds Forever.
