What Is Hip-Hop (to me at least) (Mark N.)

# data[].attributes.body
1. The Message- Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5: It helped define Hip-Hop as a means of revolution and counterculture.
2. Check the Rhime- A Tribe Called Quest: Helped define the "boom-bap" nature of hip-hop and the emphasis on complex rhyme scheme
3. Protect Ya Neck- Wu Tang Clan: Helped set the tone for sampling, a common practice in hip-hop and popularized cyphers in Hip-Hop Culture.
4. SpottieOttieDopalicious- Outkast: Was actually the first use of "Trap" in a hip-hop song as it came to be known and define the genre
5. Alright- Kendrick Lamar: A more contemporary song that became the anthem for many in the BLM movement. Somewhat of a showcase of where we've come to and the natural progression of Hip-Hop from all that preceded it.

50 Cent -- Ghetto Qu'ran

The quintessential Hip Hop song in the sense that's he's telling the listener, "this is what happened in my neighborhood, these are the people, these are the stories."

Nas -- Thugz Mansion

The beautiful simplicity of the acoustic guitar. So bluesy.

2 Pac: Until the End of Time

Tough to pick which 2 Pac song. I went with the one I'd show to neophytes.

Eminem: Infinite

Linguistic mastery!

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five: The Message

More journalism than song, though I would call it an editorial opposed to hard news. Yeah some of the language and sentiments might seem aged, out-of-touch, but I swear by the intensity, and the expose nature of the song.
