example of "to blame hip hop:"
Friend- Man, what the hell is wrong with you bro! When we were kids we would never do shit like that! Now look at you, son! All you've been doing is smoking weed!
Druggie:Fool, you need to relax alright brotha. At least my ass aint in jail.
(3 weeks later, druggie is in jail; his friend visits him)
Friend-you dumb fuck
Druggie- i blame hip hop for this shit, dawg
(background story to understand it more: before the druggie was a pothead he was an A student in his class and was always hidden away from negative influences in his life by his parents but as he grew up they "let the chain loosen up" so he learned about the "cool" stuff that teens liked and that is when he heard about hip hop)

Get the STUPID hip hop style mug.Related Words
Typically classified by hip hop "heads" as: hip hop that has social awareness or meaning in it's lyrics. Though they fail to recognize that is actually called "alternative hip hop".
This is the true definition: Hip Hop is a movement, a culture, as well as a genre of music. Materialistic things, getting money, women, cars, etc. is a part of this movement, and it always has been.
Since hip hop has mixed with pop music, this side of the culture has been in the spotlight, and many feel it is the wrong side. The thing is though, you do not have to listen to this type of music, if you prefer gangsta rap for example, simply listen to it.
There is no "real" or "fake" rap/hip hop music, it's all part of the culture. This "gettin money" phase that hip hop is in is simply a part of the 30+ year movement that has finally taken the spotlight. 15 years ago, the "gangsta" side of the culture held the spotlight. Who knows what is next.
The Backround:
Hip Hop "heads" and "elitists" (aka old men who think they're living in the 80's) say hip hop does not belong on the radio, and if it has success, that means the artists are selling out. They are simply jealous of the success of these artists, and wish to see them fall. That is called a "hater" my friends.
According to this logic, artists like Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne are "fake" hip hop, and not music at all. They also do not deserve any of the money that they have earned. (again, the reason for this is unknown)
Hip Hop started in nightclubs and parties, so it was originally party music. The people who tell you "real" hip hop is not party music, they have no idea what they are talking about. There is no such thing as "real" hip hop. It's a genre of music that many love, and many hate, simple as that.

Get the Real Hip Hop mug.A 'hip' (no pun intended) way to take photographs with the LOMO Camera. Those who use this Russian camera usually carry it everywhere with them and call their hobby 'Lomography'. The camera has a special lens that gives sometimes erratic results, but eventually all photos look cool.
'Lomographers' shoot everyday objects as they travel and don't use the viewfinder; instead, they hold the camera at the hip and click - this increases the whole excitement of waiting for the film to develop, cuz u'r not sure what you will get.

Get the Elements Of Hip Hop mug.A white person that is actively bringing hip back to being a white person. On the line between being an upstanding citizen and white trash; just trashy enough to be hip, but with real class. See Vanillia Ice circa 1991. Not to be confused with a hipster, which is a person that wears overly tight jeans to accentuate their lack of muscle mass, thereby shifting society's focus to their smug and condescending sidestream demeanor.
Have you seen Dave Merandi lately? He's looking so white hip in that tuxedo whilst rocking those Puma Clydes. Just looking at that mother fucker makes me want to drink a Natty Light and dance.

Get the white hip mug.Shooting a weapon while holding it really low, at hipline, as the name suggests. Usually done by only highly skilled marksmen, since aiming like that is very difficult.
