Welcome to hiphopotherside.com, an open forum to discuss issues involving Hip Hop culture that truly matter. Our effort is to assist in the decriminalization of Hip Hop across the board by BEING THE CHANGE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE. Let’s bring Hip Hop 180 degrees to its true essence as put forth by Afrika Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation, by acknowledging the five elements. MC, Dee Jay, Dancer, Graffiti and Knowledge Wisdom and Overstanding.

Providing we are able to lead by example, then not only do we place more accountability on the artists to be responsible we in turn make the climate better for our youth. After all is said and done this is why we want to make a better society; it is about today’s young people who will be our leaders and policy makers of tomorrow. If we do not think and act with this kind of vision we will surely continue to lose our youth to all the distractions that have made their way into our communities.
