5 elements of hiphop

letsgoBREAKevin · **5 elements of hiphop -** 10-14-2008, 12:25 PM

i recently heard that instead of having 4, there is now five. the 5th element would be beat boxing. we should have some kind of new section for bboy.org all about beat boxing. then we would have all 5 elements instead of 4. wouldn't that be great?

anyone agree?

a mere forum does not provide the knowledge for beatboxing (BB). BB heads provide the knowledge for BB. therefore, simply creating another section would not automatically bestow bboy.org with this particular element.

besides, there are more suitable online communities elsewhere.
BB is not like breaking in that you need to be in the scene to do it or get better significantly. in fact, a lot of beatboxers are strictly self-taught (and from the internet). since the subject matter is all "crude" phonetics and linguistics, technique is analyzed and developed best through vast repetition (ie: experimentation).
