Can't tell if that was sarcasm.

Sarcasm over the net fails.

i'd say 5-6 ish, but when i think more about it, im probaly 3-4 ish,

---
im one of the few people in my area that know and understand that hip hop is actually even a culture, not a "dance"


(the crew at my school has like 50people who think the can "hip hop dance" and then 10 people who can dance. then us 15ish bboys. and 2 poppers are all like...wtf, stop taking our room and music. you suck.)

I've done a bit of critical thinking, I change my answer to 7.

DO NOT RUN FROM WISDOM. RUN TOWARDS IT.

If I say a word and you don't know what it means, don't be too lazy to look it up. Don't be afraid to learn new words, don't be afraid to speak other languages, don't be afraid to learn about other cultures. Peace, God bless.

Seems like you have an ability to flow,which not everybody does,so it is a start. Try finding something in your life that moves you or gives you fuel to flow. Also,vocabulary means a lot because it says that your being articulate about what your flowing about and also makes it sound more authentic. Spending time with a dictionary and thesaurus really helps. Trust me, i know guys that use them,and it helps them improve,for it's not about the spelling,it's about the definitions and different words that mean the same thing, and thesauruses are great for this. Hope i did'nt offend you.

id rate myself a .2

these people rating themselves with 6,7,8 and some 9's are i think a bit confident.

That means you know 6-9/10 of hip hop...of major happening and of the events that got us to where we are today.


And if you TRULY think you deserve a 6-9 then my hat is off to you.

Because hat is a LOT of info...and id like to know where you got the information so i could get it for myself.

I'd say about a 4 point something or another.... just because I'm pretty decent in graffiti and rap knowledge and usage...but when it comes to like breakin, I barely even knew that crazylegs was actually a breaker, and then that he was with rocksteady crew. I know all about cats like afrikkabambatta(prolly spelled it wrong, lol) and the real roxanne, roxanne shante and krsone, you know that stuff, and like cope 2 smith sane, seen, cap, I know about berlin writers and rappers, but like I said, Djing, breaking, i'm a bit off.

Peace out Bro.

Actually, with djing, I know about like, Qbert, and like DJ premier, people that actually touched vinyl, not this punk ass flstudio producers calling themselves Dj's (what does a disc jockey got to do with MP3's lol)

Peace out Bro.

if u want to get more info, watch, "the freshest kids", read Can't Stop Wont Stop" and those are just two great starters, and just keep moving from there, talk with people about it, and that gets more going, and it just keeps adding, cuz what we do, adds to what hip hop is. no more, no less
