Think Evolutionary not Revolutionary, Evolve Youself. I see hiphop nowadays goin'to a very wrong direction, punkmusic has always ramained the same, tha's why they still have a very consistent movement, not contradictory to its followers, they still defending the same idiology as back in the latest 70's. Hiphop on the other hand has left its basic principles, even though some still fighting to keep it together, to me punk music will always keep its roots intact, reflecting the atittude of its followers while hiphop will break apart (if we don't act)reflecting the media media spotlights.
