My cousin is taking pictures of me tomorrow and she said to bring an object with me that best reps me. I'm shy at first, not really girly, i like underground hip hop, graffiti and i like fighting. I'm short and mexican. My style is simple, a tshirt with jeans and a hoodie if it's cold. I'm from chicago and i love it there. I have mood swings. My favorite color is between yellow and orange, sometimes purple. Help?

Why do people think the original hip hop culture will come back into the mainstream?

If you noticed more rappers are coming with those fruit loops in their production which are pure garbage. Every rapper is spitting that same ol lazy flow or biting sum1 elses. You know how many teenagers want to be like soulja and make money off one good song.
Hip Hop will is more likely to spread more into diff styles with diff sounds like Kanye's robot sounding stronger.
It won't, we just need to unite in the underground, and control our own businesses, own our own radio stations and give a decent alternative to corporate controlled pop-rap garbage. Also, the old school artists need to get out there and educate the kids about what true hip-hop is.
