Novice’s Guide to Hip-Hop
If you’ve seen even one recent music award show or listened to any popular radio station, you’ve probably come across Lauryn Hill, Eminem or Wu-Tang Clan. This is hip-hop, one of the most dominant forces in modern pop music. Sure, it’s da bomb from Brooklyn to Bakersfield, but if you wanna dig a little into hip-hop culture, you gotta look past your MTV. Kickin’ it in your suburban crib with a stack of CDs? Then, you’re fakin’ the funk. So get outta Brentwood and let Calendar Live! tell you where to kick it. (Warning: You may want to check out Calendar Live’s Rap to English Dictionary before you venture out.) Get hip to hip-hop.
