There's a holiday for everything nowadays. The glorification of the thug/gang/drug culture never ceases to amaze me. Hopefully they don't start giving hip-hop fans a day off of work for this one.

quote:

Hip-Hop Celebration Day, an annual Aug. 11 celebration also known as National Hip-Hop Day, was started in Texas in 2018 and was officially recognized by Congress in 2021.

quote:

The date Aug. 11 was chosen to coincide with the anniversary of what is considered to be the first hip-hop performance New York in 1973.


quote:

Hip-Hop Celebration Day was made an official holiday in 2021, when Resolution 331 was adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The resolution declared Aug. 11 to be Hip-Hop Celebration Day, as well as designating August as Hip-Hop Recognition Month and November as Hip-Hop History Month.


quote:

Other holidays and observances for Aug. 11, 2022, include Annual Medical Checkup Day, Ingersoll Day, National Raspberry Bombe Day, National Raspberry Tart Day, Play in the Sand Day, Presidential Joke Day, Raksha Bandhan and Son and Daughter Day.

I've never entirely understood the differences between rap, hiphop, and R&B. And I have no desire to know. They all sound like shite.

I’ll ignore the 13% of the rotten lettuce leaves in my salad that make the whole thing taste like shite and instead blame the dressing.

Aren't rappers just the next beatniks?

I mean, bad poetry to a beat is still just bad poetry.

I still remember the push to change the name from rap to ‘hip-hop’. and I actually liked some rap back then. Never got it, and still don’t. The term ‘hip-hop’ has never come out of my mouth.
