Welcome to EvolutionHipHop.com. My name is Dogmatic. The primary purpose of EvolutionHipHop is to document and celebrate Hip-Hop culture. Hip-Hop has four basic elements: Emcees aka MCs, DJs, B-Boys/Girls and Writers. Emcees are the most known. They are the guys/girls on the mic at shows. They do the lyrics. They control the crowd and entertain. The DJs spin the records. They produce, mix, chop, blend and transform the sounds. The B-Boys/Girls are the dancers: breakdancing / dancehall / stepping. Writers are graffiti artists, taggers, painters, poets, commentators and editors of magazines/books.

The godfathers of Hip-Hop established a beautiful blend of music/dance/art and an evolutionary musical sound. This site is dedicated to the pioneers Red Alert, Grand Wizard Theodore, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Afrika Bambaata, The Zulu Nation, The Rock Steady Crew, Kool Herc, Jazzy Jay, Kurtis Blow, Fab Five Freddy, the early bombers (graffiti artists) from Philadelphia/New York City and all the people in the boroughs of the Boogie Down Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens circa 1970-1983. You changed the world.

EvolutionHipHop is also dedicated to the artists/magazines/tv shows/radio shows who inspired me over the years. These include Run-DMC, EPMD, De La Soul, Eric B. & Rakim, DJ EZ Rock & Rob Base, A Tribe Called Quest, Boogie Down Productions/KRS-ONE, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, Yo!
