The Style You Created Wasn't Even Your Own

In HIp Hop when you think of style you think you think of flamboyance,vivid colors,and unique individualism. When the style for Hip hop started back back back waaaaaay back in the day it was of choice of clothes that were marketed for certain financially secure individuals. These choices of clothes made poor people "LOOK RICH" . The pieces the B BOY actually chose was clothes of leisure than it was a costume. The kids would parlay out in the park and they would spew of this exuberance of culture. it would be this energy like you are in another country and there is a crowd that you have not one clue what goes on in their world but all you know it was better than yours. This why Nas was scared to kick his little raps in the park. the older dudes ruled what was the word from their lips. The talk was a slang never heard of,the style of dress was a conservative funk spin off with the individualism of a flip of a hat, or the way you "ROCKED YOUR FAT LACES". This tribe was the rejected and the poor and the only place that would accept this eclectic crowd are the inner city public parks of America. The music is a tribe representation of the places they traveled from which marveled the riches they dreamed. This STYLE was an escape from the poverty they were stricken by. The dance was a body contortion that would posses the crowd to see animation, this style of dancing would capture the crowds imagination without any electricity but many times in a jazz style like contemporary-ism would put certain icons in it. Still this style was so conservative that it would extend out side and inside of an open card board box or a sheet of tile. Even to take care of your clothing, shoes, and etc was a culture it self. Out of this little bubble "THE COOL KIDS" unknowingly took over the world. Just for creating a style to escape the reality of stricken poverty that they really lived in. The style that they created was not of their own and was designed not for this scraggly poor kids smoking, gambling, and getting high out in the park.
