Thank you for interesting post! As hip-hop became a part of modern culture, we should know more about it. So wich components of hip-hop culture do you enjoy most? And what are your favourite hip-hop musicians?

The best,
It was very interesting to read about Hip-hop. I haven't known so much about this style of music. Thank you for your post.
Hip-Hop became a part of modern culture, but not every people recognize it. Hip-Hop culture includes many parts - styles of musik, dancing, singing, drawing and even speaking and living. And I enjoy every of them. I live in Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop lives in me!!! So, I cann't distinguish one favourite musician, but I can say he isn't 50Cent or Eminem. =)
Thanks again Roma.
