Hip Hop Language Translation
If I were to write a “Hip Hop Bible” who would read it?
It’s not a translation of the Bible into a hip hop language, but instead a history of hip hop written into a version that corresponds with passages in the Bible.
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions, or questions are deeply appreciated.
Wow, I didn’t know that some people get so heavily offended by just mentioning the word “Bible”. It’s not like I’m going to pray to the book, just write about the history of hip hop music.
Depends what kind of ‘hip hop’ you mean ; If you’re going to preach Lil Wayne or TI. as the gospel I’d probably burn the book lol
But if you talk about hip hop from its roots of Kool DJ Herc, going through the big producers and artists over the years then it might be really good. And even their influences in soul, jazz etc.
I’d be 100% interested if it was about people like KRS one , Big Daddy Kane, A Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, Busta Rhymes ,De La Soul, NaS, Pete Rock, C.L. Smooth, J Dilla, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Notorious B.I.G., Big L, Wu Tang, Jean Grae, Slum Village, Bahamadia, Organized Konfusion, Black Milk , MF Doom, Madlib, Little Brother, The Roots, Outkast ,Gangstarr, Ras Kass…. etc
