He was talking about the evolution of hip-hop to rap as a whole (both music and culture). He talked about how it was born and how he is dedicated to bringing it back to its purest form. "She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs lickin rock and dressin hip And on some dumb shit, when she comes to the city Talkin about poppin glocks servin rocks and hittin switches Now she's a gangsta rollin with gangsta bitches"
a few new york did her in the park and see her at clubs...could've meant MCing, DJing, or BBOYING, I don't see any connection to graff in niggas slamming her and taking her to the sewer..that's all MCing to me..
@djmane1 "slamming her and taking her to the SEWER!" when was the last time you seen MC's go to the sewer to rhyme?? From what i've seen here where i live it's all Writers/Graffiti down there.
its simple, everything that you just said is true. I wont argue with it. Hip Hip is not just music it is a culture, but back then there "TECHNICALLY" was no rap.
why don't you explain to me sahisa what you think hip hop is? hip hop is a culture, not just music....you could say "hip hop music", but not "HIP HOP" (graffiti, djing, rapping, bboying, beatboxing, fashion, slang, etc)..Hip Hop is a culture, Common is just talking about HipHop music/Rapping..
when i saw the title before the video started i said to myself "there's no way someone could make this song any better than it already is" but i was wrong, this remix is dope. good job man.

"I did her, not just to say that I did it
But I'm committed, but so many niggaz hit it
That she's just not the same lettin all these groupies do her
I see niggaz slammin her, and takin her to the sewer
But I'ma take her back hopin that the shit stop
Cause who I'm talkin bout y'all is hip-hop" Hip-hop and rap are both music as well as a culture just out of different set of eyes. Art imitates life
