why does it have to be contained to the strict definition of the 4 elements. Because if that is true, it means hip hop is now this fringe, ultra-exclusive subculture that doesnt represent the people at all. I'm not really comfortable with that. Is there no possibility that in 2006, pushing weight could be hip hop? If thats what people in the street are really all about, who are we to say that they dont belong?

And its great to have u here, btw. Even if u dont respond i feel honored just bein up in this post, really.
