Maaco Bowl Limo Service

I just might be the luckiest guy ever. My fiance just bought me tickets to the Maaco Bowl in Las Vegas, Nevada. And she booked me a party bus or party bus or whatever. She also booked me a hotel and planned all my buddies with it. Its my bachelor party. I am so stoked.

Hip-Hop’s Rejection of Inferior Social Group Status

Henri Tajfel, a social psychologist who developed a theory of inter-group relations and social change, argues that members of a social group deemed inferior by a majority class can either accept or reject their inferior position in society. If a group refuses to accept its inferior position in society as just, it will attempt as a group to change things (Coates, 8-9). A large number of hip-hop artists have used their musical lyrics to reject the inferior social status placed upon them by the majority class.

Breakdancing is considered as one of the significant elements that make up hip hop culture. Also known as breaking, b-boying, or b-girling, this street dance was developed in the 1970s among the African-American and Hispanic youths of South Bronx, New York. It is widely believed that breakdancing began as a means of rival street gangs to resolve differences or to set the location for rumbles. Others say it was an offshoot of or was heavily influenced by capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art/dance.

Breakdancing was brought into the mainstream through the proliferation of various dance groups, most notably Rock Steady Crew. Soul and funk legend James Brown also popularized the dance style with his high-energy performances. In the 1980s, breakdancing faded from pop culture and went back to being an underground phenomenon. It made a comeback in the 1990s and since then has become a fixture of pop culture.

Underground Hip-Hop Reviews

Underground Hip-Hop Reviews by Hip-Hop Linguistics. Mama used to say, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” This statement is the basis of our reviews section. Unlike many hip-hop review publications, HHL does not publish negative reviews. Our goal is to recommend only the best hip-hop in the underground, and our reviews section contains only albums recommended by our staff of reviewers. So if it’s in this section, it’s worth checking out!

This is a nice little FREE EP from Sunspot Jonz and Luckyiam aka Mystik Journeymen, who haven’t dropped an album in like a decade now. “Return 2 The Love” was appropriately released on Valentine’s Day. Apparently, this EP is a preview for their upcoming album “Return to Eternia,” though no official release date exists at this point. “Return 2 The Love” has features from fellow Living Legends crew members The Grouch, Murs and Scarub.

unky Buddha: Monk MC Has Hip-Hop Habit – Yahoo! News UK

Kansho Tagai was blown away when he first heard hip-hop because even though he couldn’t understand the English lyrics he still felt the vibes.

He likened it to reading sutras at his temple – as most of his audiences are unable to understand the ancient language in which the sacred texts are written.

Inspired by the accessibility of rap, he set about trying to spread the word of Buddha to a younger generation by writing rhymes that teach old-skool lessons in modern Japanese.

He began inviting children, students and artists to visit his temple for some untraditional teachings – and they were impressed by his mad skills.

Buddhist follower Yuriko Watanabe said: “He really amazes everyone with his talent. When I first saw him on the stage, I was like ‘Wow!’”

Tagai now holds it down in front of audiences full of streetwise kids dressed head-to-toe in sportswear.

But he isn’t stopping there – he has big plans for the future.

He’s perfected the moonwalk, he plans to break out his first freestyle rap any day now and soon he is hoping to drop bombs on the dancefloor with a new twist on the genre – hip-hop tap dancing.

Underground Hip Hop Artists to look out for in 2010

Bad Habitat

Portland Underground Hip Hop group Bad Habitat is one of the quickest rising hip hop crews in 2010. Members Dru Manchu, Flawless and Damian Grey have been working hard and proving themselves on increasingly larger stages (performing on stages with Slick Rick, Rahzel, The Beatnuts, Canibus, Digital Underground and many more). Emcee Dru Manchu is known for his eloquent word play, intricate rhyme schemes, and sophisticated vocabulary. Expect him to stand out among other up and coming hip hop emcees of 2010. Emcee and Producer Flawless has always been known for his crisp delivery and emphatic stage presence. Less known is his skill as a hip hop producer. His beats have shown great improvement from 2008 to 2009. Expect to hear his beats on more mainstream songs in the future, 2010 is going to be a big year for Flawless Beats. A man of many trades, Damian Grey, is possibly the most valuable member of Bad Habitat coming into 2010. His skills as an emcee and as a producer are at par with the other members of Bad Habitat but his abilities in mixing and mastering put Bad Habitat into contention with some of the best new hip hop artists of 2010.

Surreal Music

Bad Habitat is the front running group of Portland based Independent Hip Hop Record Company Surreal Music. Other members of Surreal Music include Mindskillz, Northorn Lights and Conflic Theory. Mindskillz (Samuel Miller) is the Director of Marketing and Management and excels in the field of internet marketing. Already a major player in Bend Hip Hop, expect to see Northorn Lights' presence grow in the Portland Hip Hop scene during 2010. CT aka Conflic Theory or Confliction is one of Surreal Music's most prolific song writers. With little recordings completed and few appearances in 2008 and 2009 expect for 2010 to be a breakout year for Conflic. With hundreds of songs written in multiple genres (Hip Hop, Spoken Word and Urban Folk) watch for many albums to be released Summer and Fall of 2010. Damian Grey, formerly known as Trafek gained notoriety with Hip Hop group Trash Heap. Now a major player with Surreal Music, Damian will shine in 2010. Flawless, of Bad Habitat, is a steady improving Hip Hop Producer who will most definitely gain a great deal of clout among producers in 2010. Dru Manchu was one of the most stand out indie emcees of 2009. Expect to see him explode in the hip hop game in 2010.

Eternal Family

Eternal Family is one of Portland Hip Hop's fastest rising groups. With performances on some of 2009's biggest Portland Hip Hop events (Breakout Mixtape Jumpoff, POH HOP XI with Zion I and The Jacka)Eternal Family is bound to be an increasingly powerful force in 2010. Members ReyD8, Jusick, Traduce and J Rott are four of Portland's freshest up and coming emcees.
