We see whats going on with the hip-hop music in todays media which is, TV, Radio, Magazines, Internet, etc.. It's sad whats happening to the music we love so much. There really isn’t any form of art in the music anymore and there also is no balance or equal opportunity for alot of the artists out there that are making good underground hip hop. So, now is the time to get what we want back and show that there’s more out there than the negative images they promote in the media. Now is the the time. We gotta start making some changes because whats going on today is getting out of hand. So lets start to stand up and do something about it. LET’S GET BACK HIP-HOP!!!! Join our group.

Real Hip Hop Forever (RHHF) is a group of hip hop artists, producers, graff, bboys, bgirls and fans who support real hip hop, underground and respect old school hip hop that paved the way. The main goal of the group is to “balance the airwaves,” or in other words, to get an even amount of airplay for all forms of hip hop on the radio and television. We want the conscious emcees, lyricists, even experimental hip hoppers to get the same amount of airplay that the pop rappers get and to rep the underground artists. We own a website, have a YouTube Group that has over 300 members and MySpace Page run by members and we are working on a few other projects such as mixtapes, building the new site and getting involved in social movements. We are hip hop heads from all walks of life, all ages and all over the world coming together for a common cause; to make good music and intelligence more important, to spread the word about the hip hop culture and the underground, to educate the teens on better music. We are the “voice of the voiceless” Most of our members listen to underground, alternative, golden age, old school hip hop, real hip hop, represent the hip hop culture with pride. You’re welcome to join our website, our group, our fam, our youtube group, join our movement or just place our site banner on your myspace page and let’s get real hip hop back where it belongs. We also have great topics on our site forum, great rap, graf, beat battles and we also have lots of fun. Come Join Now!

Hip Hop

Hip hop teaches the history of the inner city. It teaches the economics of post-industrialism. The hip hop culture is a lens through which we can really analyze current events and politics in our society. Hip-Hop adds a face and a voice to those who might not have otherwise been seen or heard from in any other medium. Whether right or wrong Hip Hop gives credence to those who have been historically shunned, disregarded, oppressed and invalidated. Hip-Hop is a way of life, relative movement, and culture that only a few can relate to and partake in because in the backdrop is “hood reality” and the ideal “keeping it real”. Hip-Hop is an evolving life force within the person that lives it, breathes it, and moves around in it. Hip-Hop is more than what you hear on the radio, read in the magazines, or what you watch on TV. Hip-Hop is you. Hip-Hop is ME! “If music is an expression of self, then why give a negative image of yourself, when you can paint a masterpiece” Real Hip Hop forever is the family that reps that real!

Hip Hop Culture:
Too many people are unclear as to what Hip Hop Culture really is and tend to use the term frivolously. Hip Hop Culture is commonly recognized by its main elements: Graffiti, Djing, Breakdancing (B-boying), Mcing, and Beatboxing. However, these elements are simply forms of art designed to express a deeper meaning. At its core, Hip Hop is so much more than mere art and entertainment. Hip Hop is the constantly evolving spirit and consciousness of urban youth that keeps recreating itself in a never-ending cycle. It is joy, sorrow, pleasure, pain, victory, defeat, anger, happiness, confusion, clarity, humor, intensity, dream, nightmare, life, death, and everything else in between. It is the spirit that connects the past to the present and lays a path towards the future. The spirit of Hip Hop is the same as Jazz, Reggae, Blues, Doo-wop, Be-bop, and a multitude of other types of expressions. Hip Hop Culture cannot be assimilated, integrated, diluted, watered-down, sold for profit, or pimped. It will always exist, in this incarnation or another.

What the mainstream promotes as being Hip Hop, or Hip Pop, is the product being sold to you and your children by mainstream media that pollutes the mind and makes impressionable individuals think that being a pimp, player, thug, ho, bitch, gangster, baller, or hustler is the thing to do. It is the poison being fed to you by mainstream rappers who say that it’s not their job to be anyone’s role model while they depend on 13 to 20 years old fans to buy their music. It’s the studio thug telling your children to represent thug life while his children are well provided for and attend private school. It’s some female rappers who encourage their young female listeners to stay in school and out of trouble when speaking at junior highs across the country while their music gives the same kids the opposite message.

You get the point. Hip Hop is life and all it has to offer; Hip “Pop” is death served to you on a shiny silver platter. This knowledge lays the foundation for all those who thought of Hip Hop as nothing more than entertainment.

Spread the word!
