| | Real Hip Hop | | How many people like A Tribe Called Quest? I think Tribe Called Quest is one of the greatest and most influential hip hop groups ever and are quite often overlooked and underrated. So how many of you get down with Tribe Called Quest? | |

| | | Christians listening to rap and hip hop.... | | As a professed Christian, I am the first person to say that hardcore Rap is not something that someone trying to make it into Heaven should be listening to. However, I am irritated that most people fail to see a distinction between Hip Hop and Rap. Let me do my best to explain: 50 cent and Camron are rappers, and Common, Kanye, Tribe called Quest are hip hoppers. Rap is the commercialization of Hip Hop. Hip hop is a culture that at it's core, started as a unification effort for people of color (and minorities in general) to come together and better ourselves, while simultaneously stopping the black on black violence that was stating to mount in the 80's.As many of you are aware, Pastor G Craig Lewis has mounted a concerted attack on Hip Hop as being evil and pulling people out of the church, yet at the same time he claims that it isn't possible to turn around and bring people into the church using hip hop? Does that strike anyone else as strange?What about Andale'? Am I now supposed to believe that what this talented brother does is wrong and should't be used to bring people to the Church? GARBAGE. Why isn't it okay to rap a positive message over a beat to a rhythm, especially... | |

| | Arranged Marriage: Is it still practiced? | | We're living in the twentieth century, is the tradition of arranged marriage still practiced? In the Philippines, a tribe called Maranaos whose religion is Islam still practice arranged marriage. Although nowdays, some parents allow their children to marry the one they love, but they have to be in the same religion. Do you know other group of people in other countries who still practice arranged marriage? Are you in favor of arranged marriage? Do you think parents know best when it comes to choosing your partner whom you will share the rest of your life with? | |
| | They call us IGOROTS! People with tails | | Hi there! I am from the Philippines and I belong to an ethnic tribe called the IGOROTS.
I am an IGOROT! and they say that we have tails.. Interesting! I don't know why they call us people with tails. Its just that our ethnic attire is like a tail when you wear it. And so if we have tails? Ain't that a signature?
I am proud to be called an IGOROT because I symbolize the people in the mountains who has a dignity and a goal; a courageous fighter - a survivor...
If you want to ask about IGOROTS, feel free to do it..
