Real Talk

With all the different elements of hip hop now making a more dominate stands in society whether it be through music, poetry, dancing or graffiti. There must be some sort of education that teaches the people the meaning behind all these different arts. If you take a person who knows nothing about art into a museum a picture to them is just a picture but if you provide that same person with the knowledge to know the meaning, the history and story behind the picture that person will see the same picture with a whole new concept. As with the elements of hip hop each has its own story to tell and must be taught to shed a new light on its founders, where it originated from and why all these different arts were created. As with a lot of things in the world the media has chosen to highlight all the negative factors around these arts and create a false truth of what these things stand for. One could be lead to believe, through the media that if you listen to hip hop you will commit some sort of crime or those that create graffiti are nothing but nuisances defacing the community surroundings. . On the contrary, hip hop is nothing but poetry or heart felt stories put to music and graffiti is just a form of street art. They say that “Education is the movement of darkness into light,” so we have set forth to put this movement into motion, whether it be through camps or event for the youths, or seminars for the adults. The history of hip hop needs to be taught and told in a correct manner.
