Thomas Anthony Pacheco. Better known by his stage name "T Pacheco" is an American rapper and hip hop recording artist born August 23rd 1979. He's from the United States Northern Bay Area in Santa Rosa California.
He grew up in the United States in Santa Rosa California's West Ninth District, which is predominately a Hispanic and African American poverty stricken inner city neighborhood, which is full of drugs and crime. T Pacheco had some bad luck and was exposed to a rugged life style at a young age, which leads him to a life of crime later in life. At the young age of 16 he became the protégé of a few Richmond CA drug dealers twice his age, which trained and shaped him into the perfect criminal and drug trafficker. Becoming homeless at age 16 turns him into a crack Cocaine dealer, and into an individual that society would later reject because of personal belief differences. Through his struggles and differences in society's beliefs, his past experiences and his rough life style is what aids him in bringing you such authentic America Hip Hop.
After the sale of Beats Audio to Apple Inc., Dr Dre is now the richest person whose venture is squarely in hip-hop/rap music. The sale, plus his significant fortune before the sale, made him officially the first billionaire in hip-hop.
Specifically last year, the richest rap star in the US was Jay-Z who earned $83 mil and outranked Steven Spielberg on the Forbes Celebrity 100.
" I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a you don't stop." (Rapper's Delight,1979)
ATL is an abbrevation commonly used in hip-hop and rap music for Atlanta (a city in Georgia, United States). Atlanta is the home of many aspiring hip-hop and rap artists. Most notably, Konvict Muzik, the label from now famous singer Akon is based in Atlanta.
Hip-hop is the mixture off all four-elements, which are, Graffiti, B-boy, Turntablism, MCingHip hop is a form of musical expression and artistic subculture during the 1970s in New York City, specifically the Bronx outlined the four pillars of hip hop culture: which come to be Graffiti writting, B-boy, Turntablism, MCing,,,now days hip-hop is what people or wanna be rappers "rap"... when you say hip-hop its no just rapper, because back when the original hip-hop was here the mc's couldent be nothing with out the dj'sHip-Hop culture and form of ground breaking music and self expression with elements that consisted of the elements of graffiti art, DJing, MCing, and breaking. Today Hip-Hop is considered to be dead in the mainstream because so-called mainstream Hip-Hop doesn't have the elements of hip-hop and have no meaning.The stuff on MTV and the radio can't be called Hip-Hop because the lyrics don't have any meaning or self expression. Wack artists today just rap about their shopping lists and other BS. There are no more DJs making a prescence since artists today think they can manage without them. Without a DJ there are no scratches and cuts. No much graffiti art is being shown in videos. Artists such as 50 Cent, Nelly, Chingy, J-Kwon, P. Diddy, Cash Money Millionaries lack the 4 elements since their lyrics are ridiculous (no MCing skills), they don't have any DJ presence in their tracks (notice that so-called hip-hop today lacks scratches and cuts), and not much graffiti art is being expressed.The point of this defintion is to show that MTV/Radio mainstream Bling Rappers should be categorized as Hip-Pop artists, not Hip-Hop artists.The expression of the relationship between urban youth and their environment. The art of the streets ( basically, theres no definite definition of hip-hop. saying that my definition of hip-hop is right is totally bias, although i do have a opinion of what hip-hop means to ME. hip-hop is the love of the music. the culture, the passion, freedom of expression,emcees... not to be mistakened for rappers... )basicly hip-hop is a life style..

Hip hop is danced because it is fun.Hip hop is originally to be danced on the streets but now these days hip hop is danced in studios. :)
I'd think 50 Cent would be., 'cause he's the biggest, now. No Dr. Dre (WORTH 3 Billion)

hip-hop is pretty popular now-a-days
Hip Hop has now become a forum for bragging, when it once was a forum for education, and expression. Hip Hop is like the lottery, its not the best number, or the largest / smallest number, its a number that's picked. Hip Hop is about being licked, then the so called artist goes on stage a boast about what they have and you don't have. Hip Hop is too much like the Dope game, with good artist being pushed to the side, because big bank takes little bank every time,.
