ARE THERE ANY HIP-HOPPERS LEFT??? -PROVE IT!!!!

I'm a Hip-Hopper, and sometimes I feel i'm the only one. It started for me at about 6- years-old. Breakdancing in private school, not wearing any shoe-strings in my jumpers,"yo" officially replaced "hello", and my waves were water-blend.
I wrote my first rap song in the 3rd grade and by middle school I was rockin' air max and a Hi-Top Fade. Ninth grade= Ice Cube's Death Certificate!... In the 10th grade is when I first heard Nasty Nas' 1st full song , Redman taught me how to roll a blunt, Common was Common Sense, Grand Puba went solo, my crew and I rolled up one pants leg, and we all rocked Huaraches. 11th grade I bopped an Afro and my walkman blasted US FROM DIRRT, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, Illmatic, Ready to Die, Midnight Marauders, Wu-Tang, and the closet read POLO, POLO, POLO!. 12th Grade I dropped to a ceaser packed my Purple Tape and shipped off to college.
I have been in a Rap group(the greatest in Jackson's History), Tagged(no comment), tried my hand at DJing(ask Dj Scrap Dirty,and Dj Phingaprnt), you would have to go back to my old neighborhood to verify my Breakdancin' credentials (16910 NW 56th Ave. Opa-Locka , FL 33055, lol.), and I have once Beatboxed until my bottom lip went numb.
So there!!! Tried and True Hip-Hopper and I'm wondering do I have any Brethren out there??? Well do I????

LOL-scrap, you crazy, cuz!!!! let'em make it...
The whole purpose for the discussion was for my fellow Hip-Hoppers to share why the feel they are one. It was meant for everyone to tell a kool little story about how they waited in line for 12 hours for tickets to a hip-hop concert, or how they skipped school on a Tuesday to sneak to the music store so they could be the 1st to buy a hip-hop tape but their moms saw them in the mall and they got grounded for a week.
I never said hip-hop is dead (maybe just a little under the weather) - Nor, did I comment on the current state of hip-hop (err..). Also, I am not here to rate or judge anyone's Hip-Hop credibility. This was just a discussion I put out there to get to know people. ... DAG!!!

P.S. Your favorite DJ is an Us from DirrT fan.

Are there any hip-hoppers left? What?? What yall know about listening to Howie Howe and Sleepy Nevelle on 90.1 on Friday nights back in '88 cause that was the only station playing true hip-hop on the airwaves in the 601? Not to mention making your own mixtapes (no, real tapes) with dual, high speed dubbing boomboxes! To quote the Ol' Dirty Bastard (R.I.P....by the way, Return To The 36 Chambers is a hip-hop classic! Real heads know!) "I don't have to rhyme no more!"
