What is king hop music? The evolution of dead hip hop? Is it about money, power, sex, or ego? For that answer we turn to an upcoming hip hop artist, inspiring activists, and business man named King-X. In the following thoughts we shall explore the true meaning of king hop in his own words:"King hop is innovation, originality, versatility, and self empowerment in music. Also, king hop is social- spiritual, social- historical, social political, thus, embodying this in the Elite Campaign Recordz brand."
Put succinctly, king hop identifies the hip hop community as kings and queens of the hip hop community which were all races and colors ,but kingship was ordained by god in antiquity,which is real and metaphoric .Lets start with social spiritual meaning that king ship is been around through the ages, but dating back to the ancient Sumerians (2900BC) In antiquity .(plus , c. 3100 – c. 2890 BC) covers the first series of Egyptian kings (Pre-Dynastic period around 4500bc)China (ca. 2100-1600 BCE) India (1700bc-550ad)Hawaii (1795-1893) Mexican monarchy ((1822–1823) and so on.King ship has been around for ages and once was revered by all cultures and practiced. If history repeats itself, what are we? All one has to do is do the knowledge and find self.
In a political sense, king hop is those same god ordained attributes to be ruled by god chosen men and love , so to speak. With that said, this concept is incorporated into themes, music, and rhymes in a subconscious musicianship level. On a very great dynamic level king hop is looking at success on another level, and the dire need for us as a people of all creeds to see king hop as your own personal crown or throne. In doing this, we all conjure up and recognize are own king-ship or queen-ship within. Also, the divide and conquer is no more, yet if you are really aware deeply.No more fighting to be kings or queens of this or that, its now subjective.This concept can be ambiguous,and can be looked at as being symbolic, metaphoric, literal, marketing, commercial value, and self. Phycographics proves people want to live like a king or queen so King X takes you there over a beat. Creating totaly new markets, concepts, words, and a sub genre. King hop gives hip hop community its true image at its very essence, and they both are one and the same. You cant have one without the other, so king hop is an element of hip hop.
King-X has created a new way to hope and go for your dreams whether to be a doctor, teacher, artist, family man, business owner, nurse, etc. In doing that, you automatically become kingly or queenly, yet in a king hop way. This is a bold attempt by King-X to tell everyone to stop fighting and killing over a superficial, greedy ,and destructive way of an urban monarchy(metaphoric). If we are all kings and queens who can stop us? On a another token, king hop music embodies originality and innovation in hip hop too. Too be you and only you. King hop expounds are srtuggle to become a kings and queens that lies within.
King X is trying to stimulate the need for woman to look at their husbands as kings and men to look at their woman as queens (On a conscious level). In doing this,we all single handily further ourselves to create an economic situation or succession of wealth to pass on as a dynasty. Now your kids and their kids kids can build off your castle or home (princesses and princes) King-X has incorporated this in his music, but King-X makes sure to keep his craft and music conventional too while giving his fans or listeners a brand new listening expedience and experience that only Elite Campaign Recordz can relinquish.
In no way does King-X try to take anything from hip hop this is only an attempt to spread a new idea to a problematic crisis in music and society.
