Da What

Over the years I’ve seen an emergence of what I refer to as “Beta-Male rap."

What’s Good?  Missed last week because I had a job meeting out in Seoul.  ‘Da’ What is Hip Hop? takes us back to New York but this time to a less nostalgic, modern view of the Big City.  P. So does not quite have the average background and interests of a typical rapper but after reading what he has to say, he doesn’t seem so different afterall. And he is definitely NOT your typical rapper! “Comic Books. Video Games. Anime. These were mainstays of my childhood and adolescence.” Nonetheless, he has found his own place in hip hop and transformed the genre to fit his lifestyle. http://da-what.com/2013/04/29/da-what-is-hip-hop-p-so-the-earth-tone-king-editorial/ For those that missed any posts in the series from from Espen of Deadbeatz, Preemo Donny Goines, Nobody Famous, KJ Hines, Rashid Hadee and more, you can catch up here: http://da-what.com/category/da-what-is-hip-hop/ If you haven’t already, you can watch the Sal Garcia directed trailer at either of the following links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GEQh55-_4s http://da-what.com/2013/01/01/da-what-is-hip-hop-series-trailer-video/ Again, please continue to spread the word in any way you can!
