Hello, and welcome to the official website of Real Hop Hop Forever. This is a community of people who are real hip hop heads from all walks of life and all over the world coming together for a common cause; to represent the hip hop culture, to make good music and intelligence more important. Most people here listen to underground, golden age, and old school hip hop, among
other forms of great music, only dabbling in current mainstream hip-hop here and there. Our goal is not to wipe out mainstream rap music such as snap. On the contrary, that music has the same right every other form of music does to be on the mainstream. Our goal is to simply balance the airwaves, make people more aware of the great underground hip hop. We want the underground emcees, conscious emcees, lyricists, even experimental hip hoppers to get the same amount of airplay that the pop rappers get.

This group was started in early 2007 by DJ Just One, a golden age DJ from Bronx, New York, on YouTubeunder the pseudonym J1fromtheBX. After asking me, Erik Boyd, to join his group, i became the "vice president" of the group. We began brainstorming and inviting new members until we had well over 200 members, a Myspace account, a YouTube accountand two email addresses to reach us at and to support our various accounts on the net (realhiphopforever@hotmail.com, =realhiphopforever@yahoo.com), not to mention beginning a mixtape project called Real Hip Hop Forever Mixtape Vol. 1. In late 2007, we began thinking of this, not as just a YouTube group, but as a movement. We began exploring the possibilities of making this into a business and having a big part in assisting the reintegration of hip hop. We began having business meetings and discussing the possibilities of radio stations, both local and internet, promotion, and finally, a website. Unfortunately, in early 2008, just after the first Anniversary of our group, DJ Just One had his YouTube account deleted due to copyright infringement. Because of the strong bond between our members, who all consider each other family, when Just One opened a new account (DakidJ1fromtheBX) and a New Group, we came back stronger then ever, reaching an all time high attendance and gaining more active members than ever before. So after several months of trying to get resources together, we started this site, thanks to Ionut Bodescu (AceKat00o on YouTube) of Romania.

I would like to conclude this section by giving a special thanks to our early members, many of which are moderators on this site:

Real Hip Hop Forever!!

Hip Hop!
Hip hop teaches the history of the inner city. It teaches the economics of post-industrialism. The hip hop culture is a lens through which we can really analyze current events and politics in our society. Hip-Hop adds a face and a voice to those who might not have otherwise been seen or heard from in any other medium. Whether right or wrong Hip Hop gives credence to those who have been historically shunned, disregarded, oppressed and invalidated. Hip-Hop is a way of life, relative movement, and culture that only a few can relate to and partake in because in the backdrop is “hood reality” and the ideal “keeping it real”. Hip-Hop is an evolving life force within the person that lives it, breathes it, and moves around in it. Hip-Hop is more than what you hear on the radio, read in the magazines, or what you watch on TV. Hip-Hop is you. Hip-Hop is ME!

What Is Hip Hop Culture?
Too many people are unclear as to what Hip Hop Culture really is and tend to use the term frivolously. Hip Hop Culture is commonly recognized by its main elements: Graffiti, Djing, Breakdancing (B-boying), Mcing, and Beatboxing. These elements are forms of art designed to express a deeper meaning. At its core, Hip Hop is so much more than mere art and entertainment. Hip Hop is the constantly evolving spirit and consciousness of urban youth that keeps recreating itself in a never-ending cycle. It is joy, sorrow, pleasure, pain, victory, defeat, anger, happiness, confusion, clarity, humor, intensity, dream, nightmare, life, death, and everything else in between. It is the spirit that connects the past to the present and lays a path towards the future. The spirit of Hip Hop is the same as Jazz, Reggae, Blues, Doo-wop, Be-bop, and a multitude of other types of expressions. Hip Hop Culture cannot be assimilated, integrated, diluted, watered-down, sold for profit, or pimped. It will always exist, in this incarnation or another.

Hip Hop is life and all it has to offer. This knowledge lays the foundation for all those who thought of Hip Hop as nothing more than entertainment.
