Is Hip Hop Alive?

Now If you look at the link for my site you see the word Hip Hop is gone and that is my trademark and my slogan. Well on July 29 i went to a Joell Ortiz Jay Electronica show and it was amazing. Hip Hop was in the building! You had about 800 people in a room that only fit about 400. I was shocked because in a world where real hip hop isn't supported there was nothing but real Hip Hop fans. There was two performing acts before Joell came out and they both got booed off because they were from the south. Haha well i guess thats harsh but hey we  in new york for christ sakes. Joell came on stage with nothing but applause and praise from his loyal fans and started up the night with his very popular hood anthem "project boy". Then as that was going on who else but dj premier comes out on stage and reps it hard with Joell. Now im not the biggest Gang Starr fan but o yea i miss Guru. Joe Budden then comes out and does a couple of Slaughterhouse songs and rips a mood muzik track. Styles P came out and lets not forget when Shawn Paul walks out on stage and gives all 25 girls in the crowed a heart attack. Then Joell does his famous twinz verse and then Fat Joe walks on stage and rips the twinz along with his new song "haha". As much as i dislike Fat Joe that was pretty sick. To close it out   Joell does his classic Nissan, Honda, Chevy and Jim Jones comes out with Dipset and they all show their love for Joell. Ortiz performed for about 2 hours and it was a classic hip hop show that will be in my memory forever. Jay Electronica then comes out and drops his bomb of lyrical dosage on all 800 of ous. He is truly amazing lyrically. Great show and for that night Hip Hop lived and really showed its roots to me and i was proud to be there. Joell Ortiz and Jay Electronica are here to represent the true meaning of Hip Hop.
