I think that the impact that Hip Hop Culture has had on the world is severely underrated … started to think about what would normal everyday life would be like if Hip Hop never existed
…I’m sure I’ll come up with tons of things, feel free to comment and add on
If hip Hop never existed …
“Nigga” would probably be dead or close to it
I wouldn’t finish sentences with lyric and artist references; I’d be regulated to pop culture
Commercials would be rock and country or have to be straight forward … young black people would almost be non-existent
Children would be children longer and would more than likely be able to grow up and have fun like I did
R&B would still exist … pure Rhythm and Blues, unique voices and original songwriting
Talent would be rewarded
The Whole Internet Model / Video chick industry would be non-existent
More instruments would be learned and played
High School and College attendance would be up
Individual style would be more prevalent
Timberlands would be for construction sites only … nothing fancy about the style or look at all
There would be almost no interest in urban designers
Gold Ropes would be regulated to costume jewelry
Adidas All stars will always be laced
Radios would’ve never been on shoulders
Worldwide appreciation / admiration for the “thicker” woman wouldn’t be as prevalent
Car sound systems would never have to be loud
Public consumption of weed would be low
The word Beatbox would have no meaning
Hard would be Hard
Bad would mean Bad
My Mothers needles would’ve never been broken by a 6 year old me
Bling would be a sound and not a description or slang
Ill would be sick or under the weather
BIG would be alive and some construction worker somewhere
Pac would be alive and some nerd somewhere
