In original people's quest for even a modicum of liberation in America, through creativity, they've found ways to communicate, educate & entertain themselves through various mediums. At every turn, we were made to feel stupid, inferior & incompetent. Meanwhile, the dominant society that berated us made every attempt to emulate our creations. This episode is about the finger pointing & demonization of original people by those who themselves have committed atrocious against humanity.

Hip Hop's foundation is built on it's ability to reshapes existing elements & present them as "something new," but is that a one way street? We all know how Hip Hop envelopes other things into itself but does the same work in reverse? Can Hip Hop be engulfed & made to be otherwise? Does using elements of Hip Hop culture, in non Hip Hop endeavors, make it Hip Hop? Or does the other thing make Hip Hop that? So many questions, so little answers.

This just happens to be Hip Hop Appreciation Week. in lieu of that, we'd like to discuss the origins & evolution of the emcee (we are emcees you know). The mic started as a secondary element (this is a dj culture) but quickly grew to be the most recognizable aspect of the culture. So let's discuss how it all happened! #HipHopculture #BinkisRecs #RhymeAnimalsPodcast  #Binkisisathing #RhymeAnimalCertified #Emcee #Dj #graffiti #beatbox #breakdance #bboys #bgirls #RAOTW #beats #rhymes #life #Hook&Sling #EddieBoandtheSoulFinders #SnoopDogg #ThinkAboutIt #LLCOOLJ #RocktheBells #RespecttheArchitect  #podcast #mixtapes #songs #mics #cyphersSupport the show

There are just some songs that ALWAYS give you "that" feeling. A tingle in your spine. A chill through your cranium! Whenever the time, it's ALWAYS the perfect time for it. You just can't stop yourself from singing the words. You don't want to stop. You may even be ti-red of hearing the song, but when that beautiful arrangement solo's the horns, silences the melody, and drops that bionic snare... IT'S OVER!!! The vibration gotcha locked in and you are possessed. Let's take a trip with the songs that ALWAYS make you feel good, no matter when you hear them. #HipHopculture #BinkisRecs #RhymeAnimalsPodcast  #Binkisisathing #RhymeAnimalCertified #Emcee #Dj #graffiti #beatbox #breakdance #bboys #bgirls #RAOTW #beats #rhymes #life #TheyReminisceOverYou #2Pac #GangStarr #ATribeCalledQuest #SnoopDogg #DJJazzyJeffFreshPrince #GrandPubaMaxwell #8BallMJG #GoodieMob #PastorTroy #OlDirtyBastard #JohnnyGuitarWatsonSupport the show

In the midst of being considered a fad that was on it's way out, Hip Hop found it's way to the big screen. Little did we know that this addition to the culture would help further solidify it's position in the global entertainment market.

Hip Hop culture was born as an alternative to the violent conflicts endured by original youths of the inner city. As a result, physical battles were replaced with dj, dance & rap battles. Although still aggressive, the participants were able to return home to their families when all was said & done. For this one, we delve into the ability to have conflict & find a way to resolution.

It's been said by some that the first time can be luck but if you can repeat it, it's skill. One of the scariest spaces for artists can be the question of whether or not they can successfully follow up their initial offerings. Some try, many fail & others raise the stakes even higher! We'll explore what they call the "sophomore jinx". Is it real? What's the impact? If it is real & you beat it, then what? Let's talk about it.

For a man, there's nothing like the essence of a woman. But what if in the blink of an eye she was gone? Even worse, what if she was stolen?

Fish & chips is a delicious meal, loved by many. In slang speak, "fish" has been known to reference women and "chips" money. For this one, we're referencing the latter. We explore the dynamics of men, women & money and the varied levels of association between the three. Hope we don't get cancelled on this one! Support the show

Once upon a time, kinda long ago, computers were huge pieces of machinery that literally took up an entire wall.  Who would've thought that in a few short years that they would become pocket devices that pretty much control our lives.  Now A.I. is here and that means our culture now has to contend with technology too. How will this all pan out? We don't know but I'm sure we have questions.Support the show

"Who gave you permission to...BITE IT?" Great question! Once upon a time biting was a cardinal sin in HIP HOP culture. The worst thing you could do was sound, look or be like anyone else. Originality was king. At some point, everything changed. We're gonna talk about what happened...and why. C'mon y'all!Support the show

In the spirit of the New Year still, we felt it a perfect time to introduce a new series: Pick Pockets.  This series allows us to highlight the emcees who live on the rhyme road less traveled. They display some of the illest flows, cadences, rhymes pockets & unorthodox rhythms without ever skipping a beat! Let's meet a few. SPRAAAGGGGGSupport the show

We've come to the conclusion of yet another fangtastic season of the Rhyme Animals Podcast. For this season's finale, we're getting into the exit. Is retirement a real thing in this thing called Hip Hop? Who really walks away from their creativity? Or is it that they walk away from the industries that manipulate & monetize their respective crafts?

There's been an age-old discussion about art imitating life and vice versa. Some of music's greatest compositions are the result of some great tragedy. With rap music being born from the socio-economic hardships suffered by original people in the U.S., it's now a multibillion-dollar industry. Creatives are inspired by life to create the art that then inspires life.  What if the inspiration is tainted? How does that affect the art? We gon talk bout it!!! SPPPPRRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGGSupport the show

From the beginning, we've been intentional about not using the R.A.P. as a core vehicle for self-promotion.  This platform was created to build community and focus on Hip Hop culture's effect on a global stage. We've also indicated that, as the Binkis Records Set, we've curated a 20 plus year legacy of music & brotherhood (if you don't know you should find out). This episode, we decided we'd share some of classic material from the vaults. Allow us to reintroduce (or introduce) you to The Bedroom Empires. FAAAAAANNNNNGGGGGG!Support the show

Control - the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of eventsIn it's inception Hip Hop was a way to vent frustrations & alleviate issues in a manner of our choosing through creative mediums. Once it became a corporate entity the culture's ability to say & do what it wants seems to know be controlled by those who "own" it from a financial standpoint. Where does that leave those in the culture who have not yet been bought or bought into the system? It's a lot of "you can't say that" going on & that's not what we represent. Let's talk bout this!Support the show

Today we delve back into the Blood Type series, this time unpacking the Punchline Rapper profile. This one is interesting. Support the show

Who stole the soul? Where they take it? Is it coming back? Music has historically told the stories of struggle, conflict, redemption & progress as it dissected & analyzed the state of affairs of its society.  All while making us dance, groove, vibe, contemplate & plan. Literally the soundtrack of our lives, Is today's music providing those same things? If not, why??? Let's talk bout it! Chum on Support the show

If you have the ability to speak then you have a voice. But just having a voice does not mean that you can or will be heard. Today, we'll be discussing the importance of the voice & how it's used. Voices are used to command attention, craft stories, teach lessons and so much more. Gang Starr already let you know that it's mostly the voice, what you say???Support the show

Once upon a time not long ago rap groups was a thing now everybody solo...or something like that. Where did the groups go? When did so many artists go solo? Is it more than creative choice? Let's talk about it. Support the show

Obviously sex is a natural part of our existence, it's how we all got here (or most of us). However, too much of anything is never good for anyone. Hip Hop has been hypersexualized and the effects on society have been less than ideal. We gon build on all that!Support the show

Hip Hop culture is rooted in the spirit competition. This episode we're taking a look at the evolution of the diss record. We move through the evolution of rap battles to diss records & how these records have morphed over time. From braggadocios playful raps that poked fun at opponents to serious, personal attacks about one's kin, friends and character the diss record sure has changed quite a bit.Support the show

Hip Hop culture  is a multi trillion dollar global phenomenon, built from the struggles, expressions and revolution of original youth in NYC. Although the money was an unintended result as it's grown it's created wealth for more original people, collectively, than any time in recent history. This type of work don't come with benefits though. Let's talk about Hip Hop giving back to itself. Support the show

Celebrities have been known to travel with an entourage. This can consist of friends, family & close associates & can range in size from just a few folks to literally hundreds. However, the entourage can also be a source of trouble for the person in the spotlight.  Let's chop it up.Support the show

Life is a series of ebbs and flows. Sometimes your up and sometimes your down. However, in entertainment the consequences of those ups and downs can have dramatic effect.

We talking bout them. Support the show

Today's episode has the Rhyme Animals exploring the varied businesses, industries & endeavors that those from the culture have segued into using Hip Hop as a springboard.

Supply - make (something needed or wanted) available to someone; provideDemand - an insistent and peremptory request, made as if by rightGots to give the people what they want.
