“Rap is something you do, Hip-Hop is something you live”\u00a0<\/em>\u2013KRS ONE<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n![\"desi,](\"http:\/\/desihiphop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Macklemore-Ryan-Lewis-Starting-Over-ft.-Ben-Bridwell-Of-Band-Of-Horses-300x200.jpg\")
We are living in an age, in a time frame where things aren\u2019t conventional anymore. You don\u2019t need to be a veteran in the corporate industry to make millions or even billions these days. Life and how we live it is based more on quality than quantity. One such phenomenon in recent times has been hip-hop. The beauty of HipHop is that you don\u2019t necessarily need a good voice or formal training to become a part of the music industry. If you have seen struggle, if you have seen the hustle, if you have a passion to express yourself in spoken word, you can be a HipHop artist. We have many examples today.<\/p>\n
It is simply about who, what, where, when and why of a person\u2019s life. It\u2019s a story in rhythm. Be it gangsta\u2019 in nature, or mediocre but has to be lyrical has to be deep. It has to be something that you can relate to in everyday life or have probably seen. It has to be real, it has to be true.<\/p>\n

Now we see a lot of rappers who talk about the amount of b*tches and gold chains and diamonds they have but that\u2019s not feasible, that\u2019s a seasonal thing to talk about as Kendrick Lamar reminds us in his album Good Kid Madd City where he takes us ten years back and using the basic hip hop formula, tells us a story untold and unfolds new horizons for many to seek and rediscover their potential. I mean it opened my eyes with a personal touch even though it was about a 17 year old guy from Compton. If rap is the body, then hip hop on the whole is the mind and soul behind it.<\/p>\n
Check out the “myVote #1 Music Video of 2013<\/span>.<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n![\"1958402_10153880119045580_1486625078_n\"](\"http:\/\/desihiphop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1958402_10153880119045580_1486625078_n.jpg\")
You don\u2019t even have to be from the hood or some sort of rough neighborhood. All you got to be is yourself, be original. You can\u2019t be the next Snoop, Lazarus<\/a>, Dre or Bohemia<\/a> but you can definitely be you. This is an article I am writing to let people know that hip hop is not everyone\u2019s thing but again it is everyone\u2019s thing if they can be real about it. Fake people don\u2019t even stand a chance in selling burgers at the local McDonald\u2019s, then how can they rhyme, write and spit ripe bars. Moreover, these days there\u2019s a trend of anyone who can talk about crime is a rapper. Most of these kids come from pampered families and don\u2019t be even know the ABC of Crime so how can they relate to it. It\u2019s better to talk about what you have witnessed or something you are trying to promote. Be it awareness for a project, or flirting with your crush hip hop is modern times of poetry. If that wasn\u2019t the case, most OGs of the music industry who live for the art more than labels and capitalism wouldn\u2019t take inspiration from poets and artists of the past. Hip Hop in simple words is evolution of poetry to the next super duper level. So all you poets out there, writers out there if you have a true story to tell – go for it, DesiHipHop.com is with you.<\/p>\nI am Desi, I am HipHop<\/h2>\n
