A choice quote from Mark:=20
"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 di=
scussion 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 i=
n rap (though not exclusively so) about 'keepin' it real' , I would be ve=
ry interested to know what some of the people on this list would say in r=
eply 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? O=
r does it go beyond that? And if so, where? What else are true hip hoppe=
rs into? My gut feeling on the last question is a hell of a lot more tha=
n hip-hop.
