Why Do We Love Hip Hop?
I only
listen
to Night
Shield.
For some
reason
maybe
because
it’s real;
straight
from the
Rez life.
Other
than that
I listen to Pow-wow and Jackie
Bird. I love Jackie Bird and Gabe
Night Shield. -- Karah Condon,

I grew up in Brooklyn, New York
and so I’m used to that music.
I just love living here in New
Mexico and I have alot of Native
friends and find their music to
be cool. Hip Hop to me expresses feelings of today’s youth and
being a single mom of 3 teenage
boys (ages 15,14, and 13), that
is important for them to do
with no father figure in their life
but sports to keep them off the
streets or try at least. Music is
what they live. -- Georgianna

Why I love hip-hop cause I feel

I love Hip Hop because, unlike all the rest it takes me to
a place within that I can relate
to. It takes me out of the chaos
of the world and lets me look
at things from a different point
of view and plus it has those
ever-so-awesome beats that you
can shake it to! Yeah sometimes
vocals can be a little wack but
that’s part of its charm.

Hey ya all,
See I work in the courts,
helping the YOUTH... I use
some of your songs to help
them. (Yes I buy all the CDs
and don’t download them)
Anyhoo, this helps them....
the way your words flow and
that they can relate too. The
world today is different from
how the culture of the past.
If I can help just one of the
youth, making them understand that there is a better
way of life other than crime,
I have done my job. When
a kid talks and sometime
cries, I have helped them but
I make them listen to your
words in the Hip Hop sense...
they even make me sit down
when I try (TRY) to dance

(not a pretty sight). Keep up the
good work...... you are here for a
reason, don’t stop doing what ya
do!!!!! HAI HAI

Why I love Hip Hop? It’s a way
of Life or any way you’re comfortable expressing yourself thru
lyrics, fashion, and attitude, you
know . . . just a freedom we all
have: to live freely and express
ourselves freely in this world of
prisons and wars. But it is all you
need if you want to rise above
all the negatives in this world of
ours. You know, just let yourself
shine. These are things I’m happy to believe in and to be a part
of, so it’s all good and one love
baby. -- Paul Gravatt, 27, Los
