More on hip hop
There is a community in hip-hop. It doesn’t seem like that anywhere else, except maybe in punk rock. But punk rock is tricky, because it has become such a pop thing. But in rap, there is still a feeling of community. Who are our peers? Rappers.
Ad-RockAd-Rock The world is full of bullshitters, Liars, and triers and quitters, Coulda-beens, wannabe’s, thought-I-was, isn’t-I-is’s… And everybody in your business.
AceyaloneAceyalone Linguine linguistics that left my verbal essence saucy, Send a message, leave you sleepin’ next to headless horsey.
Action BronsonAction Bronson Strictly cop and go’s until we laid in the Galapagos Eating tacos, higher than an opera note
Action BronsonAction Bronson Shoot eagles on the Jack Nicklaus course, Porsche with the triple exhaust, Seats soft like a midget’s cough.

AB SoulAB Soul That was my challenge then, how to make scratching still fun for someone who didn’t necessarily come to hear that. It was fun to develop that technique. And now in dance music – I’m still a hip-hop guy at heart, but I love dance music.
A-TrakA-Trak Damn it feels good to see people up on it.
