Ellie ColemanPublished 4 years ago in BeatHow the Brooklyn Drill movement is NY's most unique contribution to rap
Would it be crazy for me to say, out of all of New York’s contributions to rap — and trust me there’s A LOT of them — what I’m going to share is it most unique ever? Now keep in mind, what I said: Unique. Not greatest. Not the biggest. Heck, I didn’t even say most influential. All I plan on doing is explaining how a sub-genre within New York’s huge rap scene became its most important sound, during this rapidly-growing time in our culture.
What Is Hip Hop ?
What is Hip-Hop? Throughout recent history, many scholars, philosophers, writers, and other prevalent scholars have attempted to define Hip Hop as well as what it means to be Hip-Hop. Google defines Hip-Hop as a “style of popular music of US black and Hispanic origin, featuring rap with an electronic backing”. Although, Google has provided this definition I believe that it is overly general and inaccurate to the roots of what create what we know as Hip-Hop. Through research and multiple interviews i have discovered that Hip Hop is more of a culture that cannot be accurately defined by one simple sentence. Hip-hop has many facets; it can be fashion, poetry, and or art, because to put it plainly, Hip Hop is heritage. It is all these things. In this essay, I will analyze and identify what exactly Hip Hop means as well as give an example of who best embodies the representation of what is means to be Hip-Hop.

Nikki Gaskins CampbellPublished 4 years ago in Beat2020 Hip Hop Survival Kit (COVID-19 ERA)
The weather is good around the Bay lately and I’ve been itching to get back to my routine making my rounds. However these are dark days we are experiencing currently with this Covid-19 pandemic and there is no question that all industries are affected. That includes the rap game and so I’ve been thinking about the things I did to get in the game, and how now I can’t even do some of those things. Now it is more evident then ever that times have changed, and we all need to re-evaluate our game. Right now I can’t hit up the club with my squad and get my singles played, can’t even hit the mall to promote and sell cd’s in the parking lot. I was working on touring this Spring and now thats all off the table. After a recent meeting with 106.1 KMEL about my single getting aired, and talks with BET about getting the video in rotation, things have stalled. I’ve been getting the run around about how this virus has shut down a lot of offices, and pushed back certain things. So now I’m looking at 2020 like, how can switch up the plan and still thrive in this downward spiral we’re going through. So I put together this 2020 Rapper Survival Kit to use as a guideline, and help other artists who may need direction.
