A choice quote from Mark:
"True hip-hoppers are into jazz". Couldn't say it better myself. -Jon

I read that statement and had the same exact feeling. Maybe this is a discussion for a hip-hop list....but maybe it spills over.....forgive me if you think it's irrelevant.
what is it to be a 'true hip hopper'? With all the statements nowadays in rap (though not exclusively so) about 'keepin' it real' , I would be very interested to know what some of the people on this list would say in reply to this question. I, for one, probably can't put the sentiment into words. An easier question to answer might be 'what do other people mean when they talk about being a true hip hopper?' Is it just the music? Or does it go beyond that? And if so, where? What else are true hip hoppers into? My gut feeling on the last question is a hell of a lot more than hip-hop.
