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

Real Republican

A person who shares the same beliefs that the original republicans had (Like that all men are equal, the government should stay out of our private lives, The rich should pay their fair share, business monopolies have no place in America. etc. etc.) Sometimes called Lincoln Lovers and lightly spoofed in an episode of American dad

The very opposite of what most people think of when they hear the word Republicans.

So in short, Real republicans are pretty much modern Democrats
Sally: "So what political party are you?"
Dave: "I'm a Real Republican."
Sally: "Oh God, you're one of -those- people, let me guess, you're rich, extremely ignorant, and hate everyone who has less money than you?"
Dave: "Actually I give 20% of my income to local charities, I volunteer at animal and homeless shelters in my spare time, and on weekends I help walk women into Planned Parenthood if there are violent-looking protesters around. So who's the ignorant one now, bitch?"

First Indie (or real indie)

Indie is a shortform of "independent"; it is often used to describe a person or a group of persons who in their life style, taste and outlook take a rather sophisticated and Bohemian stand against the mainstream.

Indie as an avantgarde discourse began spreading in the beginning of the twenty-first-century and has not yet reached its climax, but a new parellel, and even more "Indie" development is beginning to evolve slowly especially in Scandinavia: "First Indie"

"First Indie" is a discursive combination and contraction of two concepts; "First mover" and "Indie".

The "First Indie" is extremely independent in its nature, lifestyle and perception of the world and people around him, but what differs him/or her from the "old indie" is that he doesn't see the concept of distancing himself from the mainstream as a goal in itself, but rather "First Indie" uses the mainstream media to his own advantage to set his subjective agenda.
Person 1: Why did you join that television show - it is so mainstream?

Person 2 "First indie (or real indie)": I know it is, that's why I joined it.

Person 1: What!!! You have a black hat - how could you do that, I thought you were sooooo indie?

Person 2 (first indie): Well, that's not up for me to define - but I wanted to use the mainstream media for my own individual(idealistic) purposes. I mean if you want to communicate with people who don't belong to your normal sphere, it's a rather good idea to try to go ahead and cross the sphere, right?

Person 1: That's just so indie....

Real Cool Person

Aka RCP. Someone who has enough confidence in his- or herself in order to not lie, not start shit, not create drama, and not be fake. Someone who realizes that things will happen and life will go on. Someone who won't fake being cool, because they already are, and don't need any friend, famile member, lover, and/or random creepy person to tell them.
L.K. is an awesome girl because she knows who she is and isn't going to take Joe's shit. She is a wicked Real Cool Person. (or: She's a wicked RCP.)
