A common debate over hip hop culture is whether it is to be expressed internally or externally. This battle takes place due to the commercialization and materialization of modern hip hop. On one hand you have the kid with a platinum chain, throwback jersey, and Timberlands thinking that he or she is the epitome of hip hop. On the other hand you have an old school b-boy in Adidas and sweatpants thinking that he’s hip hop. True hip hop culture is defined in the eyes of the beholder.
