Try to uncover the truth before forming misconceptions about people based on prejudice, ignorance, or cliches. What constitutes Hip Hop Culture? Hiphop is a refined way of living. It's a global civilization. What influences its language, cuisine, and entrepreneurial drive? How did Hip Hop originate, and who were its earliest trailblazers? Why does it face prejudice? Is playing loud rap music or creating diss tracks enough to be considered a Hiphoppa? Does rapping imply a degenerate? Who is a skilled lyricist?

What does cultural graffiti represent? Who is considered a DeeJay? Do fans, Emcees, and adherents of Hip Hop always have to conform to criminal, exploitative, and rebellious archetypes? Those who listen to rap are devoted to hip hop; above all, TRUE Hip Hop enthusiasts embrace it as life! Prejudices against those who embody Hip Hop's Cultural mindset reveal a narrow-mindedness on their part. But what are the harmful aspects of this global community? Do they include misogyny, homophobia, materialism, and chaos?

How does the origin of all things black tie into Hip Hop's cultural heritage? Is it accurate to say that individuals who turn to a life of crime are a product of social and economic marginalization stemming from poverty caused by racism and discrimination? Can Hip Hop be a form of political and social activism? In a multi-billion-dollar global music, fashion, and commerce industry, the lifestyle associated with this Culture, rooted in the inner cities and suburbs of New York, Los Angeles, London, and Paris, has spread worldwide.

How can rap lyrics accurately depict their communities' living circumstances without promoting death and destruction? The author explores this philosophical work of art by possessing a precise understanding and consciousness of these realities. "Hip Hop Kru Zade: Path Beyond Cliches'," the 50th Anniversary Edition of Hip Hop, has been reissued by Badson Publishing and Swift Nightz Music Society. This re-edited, and revamped edition is in collaboration with the African Book Collective and was published in Berlin, Germany.

As he has done previously, the author, Wilfred "Freddy Will" Kanu Jr., has published this title along with the accompanying studio album, "Laboramus Expectantes," to coincide with its release. This epic paperback is not only a striking addition to any bookcase or living room decor but also a faithful retelling of the Hip Hop Culture's history, evolution, and principles, as seen through the eyes of Freddy Will —an indispensable must-read for die-hard Hip Hop fans and truth-seekers looking to delve into this ever-changing civilization.

INTRODUCTIONWe are exploring the bond between African Art and Black Culture and the range of ideologies. This book is a valuable resource for avid Hip Hop enthusiasts interested in the misconceptions of this vibrant Culture. As a prevailing educational tool, it offers an immersive experience for those who wish to engage in meaningful discussions on this consciousness. It celebrates 50 years of hip hop as an unforgettable journey, that showcases mesmerizing artistic expressions, captivating perspectives, and thought-provoking lyrics. Utilize this book to discuss the provocative philosophy of Hip Hop!

OVERVIEWEquip neophytes against misperceptions. Examine the thought process behind negative trends. Promote a consciousness that gives all Hiphoppas the will to safeguard our classical tradition in artistry and Culture. Introduce the public to our faith. As this involves creative expression, Hip Hop enthusiasts MUST uphold the social and political heart portrayed in OUR Culture through awareness, DeeJayin, Emceein, Breakdancin, Graffiti Art, and Entrepreneurship through all mediums, current or devised in the future. Hip Hop is more than just a music genre or a fashion trend. It’s our ever -evolving Culture within old-school parameters. Now, we strive to eliminate all detrimental influences. Our expertise in theatre, sports, cinema, music, literature, technology, fashion, politics, commerce, healthcare, economics, media, and science is highly valued. We use them to motivate and inspire each other to keep our traditional family values, spirituality, unity, African consciousness, awareness, Hip Hop’s core, and entrepreneu rial spirit alive. Hip Hop Kru Zade defies a narrow-minded attitude and restricts the inadvertent abuse of Culture solely for individual benefit. It’s expressed in ONE word: Culture. Kru Zade is a term I created to portray our indefatigable soul. Kru symbolizes the indomitable spirit of the Kru People, who fiercely resisted or chose to end their lives rather than be enslaved. Zade refers to one who thrives against the odds. This book refutes negative views about Hip Hop art and Culture. It encourages us to tap into our collective consciousness. This title connects Hip Hop Art and African Music and Dance cultures. It talks about the intricate paradoxes or double standards our Culture tends to have. Suppose this is something you appreciate and value. In that case, you must equip yourself with the knowledge to inspire others to spread the word about how it was invented when the United Nations and UNESCO has recognized it as a world culture and what the Zulu Nation, The Temple of Hip Hop, refers to as the Hip Hop Declaration of Peace, and more. The studio album “Laboramus Exspectantes ” accompanies this title. Don’t hesitate to rap along to the lyrics while you indulge in this artistic masterpiece. As the author, a renowned Grammy-nominated independent artist, I recorded this studio album while living in Toronto, Canada. Badson Publishing is now reissuing the title and album in a joint publishing and distribution effort in Berlin, Germany, and Oxford, UK. It’s similar to my previous two titles, each accompanied by its studio album.www.freddywill.com.

SALUTATIONThe title’s 50th Hip Hop Anniversary version was brought out in Berlin, Germany, and Oxford, UK, ten years after the lyrical edition in Toronto, Canada. That edition has since been discontinued. Gratitude is owed to the dependable, steadfast assistants and Badson Publishing for their underpinning. Thank you to Hiphoppas all over the globe! In this book, we stay true to the philosophy of the Zulu Nation and The Temple of Hip Hop. By we, I’m referring to the Theatre of Literary & Performing Arts in Berlin, Ger many.

DEDICATIONDedicated to the Essence of Hip Hop. ...and the memory of my friend, the late Joseph Wiseman Jr.
