Redemption, Ltr. 38

We have always been known for rockn the hyphyest trends & fashions, that has been our tribal traditions from generation to generation, as you look back at our ancient black & Latino civilizations who wore tribal markings & unique body piercings, since the beginning of time, before we was banned in Amerikkkan society to be original, or to preserve our culture's lost heritage, because our musik, clothes trending, dancing, etc... An' hip-hop musik across the U.S. & the world continues to create innovative hip-hop styles & sounds generating a vibrant culture far larger than anything hoped for by the recording industry, as hip-hop becomes famous by virtue of mainstream listeners & the media, while fresh & dope sounds mostly remain undaground & undiscovered, because hip-hop continues to prosper as a living art, staying relevant of what's happening in the streets, that we dignify as our world, an' surpassing our pop chart artists who have sold out 4 money to put out whack musik, that people get tired of listening to, because our hip-hop culture emerged as new, creative, in the times of a great depression in the black neighborhoods ran down & neglected by the outside world, where are fashion & art could embody pride, beauty, and self-respect. Many blacks and Latinos who had nothing else to do, came up with break dancing & freestyling, to every musik generated, influenced by D. Jay remixes, from tapping into street lights to hooking up systems in your ride, as we found ways to use stereo technology to make new sounds, as many young graffiti artistes broke out on the scene painting on walls & subway trains instead of canvases, an' using they talents to design posters, stage sets, an' fashion trends of many varieties, for local D. Jays & hip-hop musicians, as breakdancers perform in dance battles, following the electric rhythms of rap, as we continue to gather in & out of party functions to display that our black culture & traditions will forever be passed down from generation to generation on some positive inspiring musik, as I make this dedication to all the hip-hop pioneers of the game I grew up to: Eric B & Rakim, Kurtis Blow, Whodini, Run DMC, Slick Rick, Afrika Bambata, LL Cool J, Grandmasta Flash, C-Bo, Tone Loc, Rob Base, Special Ed, Fresh Prince, Kid & Play, Public Enemy, Pharcyde, Lords of da Undaground, De La Soul, Poor Righteous Teachaz, Ice Cube, Wu-Tang Clan, KRS-One, Nas, Ice-T, Beastie Boys, MC Breed, Grand Poo-Bah, Gang Starr, Rodney-O & Joe Cooley, RBL Posse, King Tee, E-40 & Da Click, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Nate Dogg, Geto Boys, 2Pac, Das EFX, etc, etc, etc.
