I'd like to meet:
Anyone with similar interests I'm a hip hop head! I came up in the beginning of the movement, and it's in my blood for life. It was nothing like the experience of being involved in the expression of youth and the coming of age of the new young black blue bloods in the hip hop culture. This hip hop thing has become the great equalizer for the young black and latino dis-infanchised. Every aspect of american and world culture has been woven into the lyrics and movements of the hip hop culture. I'm just grateful and thankful to have witnessed it from the beginning
