		<description>Steve thats a good question. I know that the Hip Hop Culture is spreading around the world. It has gone from the Bronx New York to Europe, China, and just recently I have seen a profile on here from Iran. I see Hip Hop itself a growing influence as a sub culture. Honestly I think it will take a while before it is respected as a form of music. Especially giving the recent reputation America has with the rest of the world. It is sad to say that our politics as a nation has had a negative effect on things like this..</description>

		<description>i feel that hip hop has touched a spot over there in china, they have a pretty good grip on there hip hop scene, but i still think they have a long way to go to really accept it, and to branch out one of there own natives. i do think they are way better with some of there creative aspects with djaying, and breakdancing, i really think they masterd that and brought there own culture in that, and some of the fashion over there that has sprung out over here i think a majority of some of it started over there, thats just my thuoghts.....</description>

		<description>Well honestly china is a very huge Hip Hop market. Look at Wu-Tang china loved there music because most of it was based on there cultural things but from our ghetto. Music over all is universal and truthfuly more artist take off once there music goes overseas!!
The people that don't have the coolest things and trends right on hand try the hardest to get or become that!!


There is a Ghetto every place in the world.. Poverty and people just barely surviving!! That is the Essence of Hip Hop.. THE LOVE, THE STREETS &#38; THE CHANCE OF LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM!!! The Small mans voice the Guy thats been stepped on ,overlooked and shuned now have a Voice!!!

                                          
                              THE GHETTO FRANK SANATRA

		<description>whether it be hip hop or not, music will always be a major part the world-- Hip hop still has alot of doors to kick open ,but just like twenty some odd years ago "We wont stop"
Diversity will be the key to China or any other country  embracing our sensational art form. Nike definatly doesnt have a problem being diverse and can be an extreme strong force. Kanye collaborating with their biggest artist definately is a step in the right direction, since he embodies doing whats not the norm. We scare people wtih our street essence in hip hop. Riding some major coatails may help hip hop Cross foreign borders</description>

		<description>WHAT IT THIZZ STEVE,

IM MY OPINION,

basketball and hip hop go hand in hand ....like some yak and a blunt YA DIG ...

hip hop in china has a steady buzz to the point where they are reconstructing our old skool breakin moves and adding kung fu and shit into it so companies like nike and so on with there million dollar campaign's are only helping the push so to speak......

chinese teenagers are drawn to hip-hop not just by its music and fashion, but also by the free spirit it represents. 

AMERICA has had the luxury of the hip hop culture for some time &#38; as it spreads to other cultures such as china they already are embracing it!!!!

its still something new to them....

"ITS NOT DEAD" its alive and just begun......theres soo many people over there its ridicoulous....

ridicoulous sales.....

kanye is not dumb he keeps looking for ways to change up his sound and shyt i mean he is who he is and that only speaks in large amounts fuckin with a china artist ya dig...

anyway this is tha loud.com/Mexican yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
