Hip Hop has got to stick together if it is to survive as a viable artform. I urge my readership to join Erykah Badu's street team. She is among the artists who laid the blueprint for the brand of hip hop we at Scholars Ink promote - perhaps she'll lay the framework for how our street team will operate.

Anyone who knows me has has, no doubt, heard of this "Amanda Diva" person.Y'all have been wondering, "Who is she?"; "Why is he so excited?"; "What she look like?"Well, Amanda Diva is an artist through and through who is not afraid of being an intellectual. Diva is the type of person that hip hop needs right now; an artist with her mind on the future who shows reverence to her roots in the past.

Pondering GangsterismThe terms hip hop and "gangsta" are not interchangable. I am sick of people carelessly substituting the word gangster for hip hop and their usage of the word to describe anything that is, in the slightest, evocative of hip hop (to them).While there is a large scene of gangster rap having originated in the West Coast in the late eighties, it is not part of hip hop proper. I

Explanation of some of the below:America's nightmare was a term used in the nineties to refer to young, inner-city minority males in the late 80s and early 90s, more accurately, their state of mind in response to the racism in society and the judicial system.
