#HipHopEd Chat is a weekly cyber cypher (chat) where stakeholders within Hip-Hop and Education come together to discuss issues that impact the youth and adults within our local, national and global communities. #HipHopEd Chat is a virtual form of professional development for Educators, workshop for Parents and other Adults and a brainstorming session of Hip-Hop practitioners. Our #HipHopEd chats are every Tuesday from 9-10 EST. on Twitter.
You would be making a major mistake if you think that 2018 Hip-Hop isn’t diverse in its messages and messengers. The culture is in a very optimistic space #HipHopEd
A lot of 30 plus dudes (like myself lol) complain about hip-hop being diluted and lost, but 2018 proved that hip-hop is alive and well. There made be some pathogens in the industry, but core health is well. #hiphoped
I agree, we no longer have to be subjected to what corporations consider "hip hop" or music. We have so many outlets for music nowadays. To paraphrase Bun B "If you don't like what's out, there make you own." Artists have certainly done away with thebold model. #HipHopEd

Some fire lyrics when we got to see battle rappers and students from middle school to high school on an ivy league stage rapping about science #HipHopEd
The honesty in today’s Hip-Hop scares some while soothing others. It’s the voice of the voiceless and those who don’t get the chance to speak #HipHopEd

HipHop in 2018 is oversaturated. So much music is being released no one artist is able to have their moment. Could be positive or negative. 🤷🏿♂️ #HipHopEd

We are constantly being exposed to new poets such as @official_neelam via Will. SM moves the needle yet again. Video kill the radio star and SM killed them both. Hope her movement continues to diversify Hip Hop. #HipHopEd
For the #HipHopEd fam who doesn’t know, we have a 21st-Century Stretch and Bobbito in @southernvangard radio podcast...incredible weekly mixes that remind us of the continued importance of diggin’ in the (digital) crates
Battle rappers are some of the most ingenious people on the planet. Rum Nitty Vs John John Da Son. I will be using parts of their battle when we read The Phantom Tollbooth to illustrate wordplay at the highest level. #HipHopEd

I've been rollin' and got to roll with @rapsody in 2018. She's my favorite rapper right now. Lyrical. Supurb skills. An MC's MC. Loves her mindset and approach to the game. #HipHopEd
They don’t consider themselves to be hip hop artists but The Last Poets dropped a spoken word album, ‘Understand What Black Is’ this year. The same anger/turmoil that birthed them in ‘68 lives on today. #HipHopEd
I disagreed with this #1 Daytona nah. The list should have A & B lists. Top 25 based on Hot/Bigups/Trending and the other Lyrical Content/Storytelling(no matter the Subject) #HipHopEd
#HipHopEd go and see the movie @BlindspottingMv because next week 8/7/18 will be discussing how the practice of “blindspotting” impacts our education system and communities
Holding out for the long awaited next @Kembaland project! but Royce, Black Thought, vinyl @HomeboySandman re-release, frequent @TeamNDL drops have held it down. #hiphoped
Say what you want but the Migos are making good music. Unique delivery that reimagined the Rick Ross pause flow. Catchy hooks. Good for what it is #HipHopEd
@noreaga just dropped and he's another OG emcee that made a great album where he demonstrated the core of who we was with a 2018 formula #salute#hiphoped
I agree. Watching an artist perform can change how you feel about a song & gives you greater insight into how they feel about the song as well #HipHopEd
@Drake God's Plan video was incredible. Drake got out there and helped a community showing the positive impact Rap and Hip-Hop has in 2018 and how it changes lives for the better https://t.co/jx8CY1eNGu#HipHopEd
If we can find such great material in 2018 that has come out in 2018, imagine what the test of time will reveal some of these songs 10,20 and 30 years from now #HipHopEd
Just got in an argument with some dudes at a party about this! Das Efx didnt catch the same shade Migos is catching by purists for not being "understandable." It was labeled "unique." Same with Mase. But Migos ain't? #HipHopEd

I'm taking moderator license and going off topic to salute @KingJames for the opening of "I Promise" the wrap around family supports in the school lets me know he did his due diligence with this venture #HipHopEd
I certainly do...that is the only way to critique it and say whether it is good or not. For others it may be different, but I can't find my joints without a thorough listen and revisit.#HipHopEd
Ans in some ways it’s diluted the experience. Circling the release date on your calendar, hitting the record store the moment it opened, ripping the cellophane off the CD, poring over the liner notes...all of that enhanced the experience! #HipHopEd
But I'm always missing gems. There's no way to keep up with it all. I just hope it comes through my Spotify and SoundCloud mixes if it's good #HipHopEd

It definitely can be, but there’s also storytellers like J. Cole, who isn’t about the hook, but more into drawing you in and taking you for the whole ride. #HipHopEd
The thing I've enjoyed about getting into my local music scene is that artists usually drop their projects on CD first & I can listen to the whole album in the car while I'm commuting #HipHopEd
2018 marks the first time I've ever NOT purchased a CD All digital this year so much new music I haven't checked out since sharing a majority of my listening time on #podcast Id like to start digitizing & organizing 25+ years of my CD vinyl cassette collection #HipHopED
