What Is Alternative Hip Hop?
Danger S
Danger S is a die hard verbal demolitionist when it comes to serving his arsenal of criticism. He does not sugar coat his words because He is a glutton for the bitter truth. His experience has involved Graff Writing, B-Boying, and Emceeing from the East Coast to the West Coast, and He is now Old School Scholar's most Danger S voice!
To be alternative in the music biz means you have to be going against the grain of an established and defined sound. Oh, wait, I’m forgetting. Mainstream America thinks the (c)rap music being shoved down their throats is real Hip Hop. Anything that doesn’t conform to that is alternative.
They have it all backwards. The artists who are pushing the envelope into new territory while being ignored by Clear Channel puppet radio stations are exhibiting the true elements of Hip Hop. Why don’t we just change the name of the crap on the radio to something like Gangsta Hop or Pimp Hop since it’s dominated by sex and violence. Then we can drop the alternative from Alternative Hip Hop and call it what it truly is…HIP HOP!!!
That’s just my opinion, but I think I’m right!
