An urban subculture that began in New York in the 1970s and slowly rose to prominence throughout the 80s and 90s. With the recent rise of young mainstream rappers, it can stand as fact and not belief that although the dance aspect of this subculture is alive and constantly expanding, the hip hop music -- a genre of music popularized by rappers like Run-DMC and KRS One -- is currently in a comatose state, if not dead.

Get the hippopotomonstrosesquippedalaphobia mug.Hip-hop is NOT dead. It is Hip-Pop (i.e. P-fucking-Diddy) that is ruining hip-hop. Maybe NaS was exposed to the mainstream rap industry too long and felt that he needed to make an album titled "Hip-Hop is Dead". The best is underground and concious(i.e. Boot Camp Clik, 9th Wonder, RZA, Hieroglyphics, The Roots). Not D4L, Mike Jones, Lil' Wayne (some one kill him) or any of these embarrassments!

The Hippophant is the llamaphants first line of defense. It comes from the planet Microgate where it feeds off of peanuts soaked in the blood of Donald Trump. Hippophants want to disregard the female population and acquire currency. Their first victim is the entire male population. Hippophants have to sacrifice their first born to the all mighty powerful Ellen DeGeneres in order to survive. When they aren't trying to take over the entire the male population they like to Netflix and chill in the cage with Lucifer. Hippophants speak in tongues and in their free time enjoy skydiving with Dobey. Its only weakness is sparkling vampires.
