Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE HIP HOP...I like other genres of music too but I absolutely love hip hop. Now you would think that my love goes back to days with the Sugar Hill gang and the days with the big gold chains and Adidas sweats, but it doesn't. Call me the new generation of hip hop lovers. Now I am a little educated on hip hop past history and where it began don't get me wrong.... I do know who the 1st platinum selling rap album was which was run DMC's Raising Hell.... just in case you didn't know ;) ... But for me it started when I was 15yrs old with T.I's I'm Serious Album that I stole from my sister and listened to with my handheld CD player and head phones in my bed. Then my love was intensified when I got a hold of Eminem's Marshall Mather's LP.... 8 ball & MJG, Field Mob,Outkast, Bone Thugs in Harmony and many other creative minds evaded my ears as well.What amaze me so much and caught my attention was the way hip hop artists rode the beats and manipulated words creating a master piece of art. A way to express yourself without all the corniness that comes with just reading a poem. These artist told us stories within musical notes.. Whether I was sad, happy, or mad I could always find a track that I could relate to. So you could see how I could be in love with HIP HOP. Always there for me when I needed it and just a play button away. My love for HIP HOP often confused me because I couldn't rap or sing , but I was so fascinated by it. I have an amazing ear for music ..I'm able to perceive it from the view of a consumer or a label executive. So I took a interest in other venues of the music industry...artist mgmt, marketing, promo., etc as well as hosting, radio, & blogging . Hip Hop has birth even more artist over the years some of my my fav are (not listed in a specific order) Common, Andre 3000, Lupe Fiasco, T.I., Jezzy, Lil Wayne, Eminem, & my new new Wiz Khalifa just to name a few. Hip Hop has taken me all over the globe from the west to the east from the north to the south. Luckily I was born and raised and still reside in the present heart of Hip Hop which is Atlanta Campbellton Rd. S.W.A.T.S to be exact :) . Hip Hop is not just not just a genre of music it's a lifestyle ..that I live for..... and of course my love :)
