aussie hip hop

Australian hip hop music began in the late 1980s, primarily influenced by hip hop music and culture imported via radio and television from the United States of America. Since the late 1990s, a distinctive local style has developed. Australian hip hop is a part of the underground music scene with only a few successful commercial hits in the last decade. Albums and singles are released by mostly independent record labels, often owned and run by the artists themselves.

real hip-hop

The culture consisting of:
- DeeJay-ing
- Emcee-ing
- Breakdancing
- Graffiti Art

Don't get this confused with the bullshit you hear on mainstream radios and tv stations.
I've written down, IMO, the 5 greatest artists of their category

Hip-hop artists today (2000s)
1)Immortal Technique
2)Common
3)Mos Def
4)Eyedea
5)Talib Kweli
others include: Canibus, Cage, Brother Ali ...

Hip Hop artists - 90s
1)Big L
2)Nas
3)Tupac
4)Biggie
5)Eminem
others include: Ice Cube, Chino XL, Jadakiss, Big Pun, Busta Rhymes, Aceyalone ...

Old School Hip-Hop
1)Rakim
2)KRS-One
3)Freddie Foxxx
4)Big Daddy Kane
5)Kool G Rap
others include: LL Cool J, Masta Ace, Slick Rick, Ras Kass ...

All Groups/Duos (in no particular order, just really good groups of all eras)
-Wu-Tang Clan (i didn't mention any of the members in solo artists becuase it would be too hard
-N.W.A (same thing as the Wu-Tang clan)
Beastie Boys, Run D.M.C, Outerspace, The Roots, Mobb Deep, Gang Starr, Cypress Hill, Little Brother ...

There are much more but these are the ones i think are necessary to be on this list

btw. the top 2 artists on each of the lists are in my opinion the greatest ever.

Don't get sucked into the stuff u hear being hyped up so much in the media. These are real hip-hop musicians and this is what hip-hop should be.

Hip-pop: 50 cent (always top of this list), Jay-Z (he might have deserved to be in the real-hip-hop list but he was so quick to sell out), Nelly, Chingy, T.I, Snoop Dogg (don't get me wrong he's good but he has no mic skills at all and he sold out), Bow wow and theres heaps more, just basically anything claimed 'hip-hop' on radio or tv.
and RnB is not hip-hop at all

tonk hip

A tonk hip is a friend you really want to shag but cant because either you or them are dating someone.
Sometimes even someone you've loved for time but cant get with.

Fuck me i'd love to shag phoebe but shes too much of a tonk hip.

hit me on the hip

Could mean calling someone on their cell phone, but could also mean calling someone's pager or two-way.

Most chicks have to call me at home, but I let her hit me on the hip.
