Reliving Hip-Hop: If Joy Is In Your Blood!

Hip-Hop has been the bellwether when it comes to a dance form full of adrenaline rush, thanks to the original Hip-Hoppers.

So let’s come together and re-live the unforgettable moments of Hip-Hop remembering the original Hip-Hoppers and dance to their tunes!

First-up: Tupac Shakur (The Hip-Hop Solo Man)

Tupac Sahkur is a name which rules the hearts of all Hip-Hop frenzies. He was the greatest Hip-Hop artist ever lived.

The game legend with undeniable music delivery. The Absolute. His influence still rules and talks to people beyond the grave. The emotions sea-deep in his lyrics even make grown men sob! Listen to Hail Mary by Tupac Shakur, Eminem and 50 Cent and you’ll experience the real Hip-Hop chill!

Eminem: Attitude Reloaded!

Eminem is regarded as one of the iconic names in the Hip-Hop genre. However, before this he had his share of crap too. Eminem succumbed to drug abuse during the shooting of 8 Mile in 2002. (The movie is awesome!) He used to be on set for 16 hours every day and suffered insomnia. However, he emerged victorious in a conventional style. With an attitude reloaded, Eminem made a huge contribution in making hip-hop mainstream as one of the biggest selling genres.  I personally love “Cleanin’ Out My Closet”, from his 3rd album, The Eminem Show.

Notorious B.I.G.-

Well, well, well when it comes to Hip-Hop how you can forget the Big Poppa of Hip-Hop? Christopher George Latore Wallace, better known by his stage names The Notorious B.I.G, Biggie or Biggie Smalls, was an American rapper. Biggie is known for his charismatic disposition and his lyrics regarded as “most fly”. His murder during a shooting in 1997 was traumatizing and felt as the end of hip-hop. However, 18 years after his death, Biggie is still the king of New York.

Nicki Minaj: Female Power!

The Hip-Hopper with a feminine sheen. She is Charismatic and Charming. Nicki Minaj is undoubtedly the greatest female Hip-Hop artists of all time.

Her powerful image resembles the eminent Japanese Harajuku Barbie. Her fans known as barbz (short for Barbies), are crazy about Nicki Minaj for her ability to spit fire whenever she’s on mike! My favorite is “Moment 4 Life”, what’s yours?

The 2 Easy Dance Steps That Will Definitely Calm You Down!

Life is hard, we know. It's a tapestry of lot of things like work stress, melodrama, struggling in bad traffic or too much of belly fat! Too little sleep and holes in favorite jeans and terse emails also perhaps can cause much ado. And all this hurly-burly can cause mood swings and make one lose his calm.

So what you can do? Umm, how about going to a zen dog like this-

Oh okay…I know that you will have to encounter Moses for the same. Let’s have a look at another option. How about a cat dance masseuse like the one below-

Oh I forgot; you might get bacne or perhaps more!

If you still got some stress left then it will surely dissuade with the 2 easy dance steps you’ll notice further. Also you will always look awesome on the dance floor!

THE TWO STEPPER

Now this the simplest step which makes you groove and ooze out the stress while you enjoy. Also it is a step which you can partake and look awesome on the dance floor.

Simply step your left leg out to your left as shown above. And then bring it back to meet your right leg. The right leg will then move forward and again come back to meet your left leg. And the cycle will continue. Pretty simple, eh?

Now you can make it look cool by giving it a sway. So you need to bend your right knee outwards and hands swaying on the opposite as shown above. The same will apply on with your left leg. To add more fun and tempo snap your fingers which will also give it a light soothing rhythm.

How cool and jazzy, isn’t it?

THE BOUNCE

Now by bounce I don’t mean you to do something weird like this:

Lol.. However, when it comes to the bounce step all you need is “YOU” and perhaps your best buddies.

The bounce is even easier than the two-step. It’s because it does not even need a rhythm. All you need is a base, claps, boom, whoo-hoos and finger snaps! The idea is to groove on your toes as shown above and "Just bounce to it." Keep your shoulders relaxed and let your arms and legs sway.
Now if you want more of it then you must watch the dance video from the movie “Pulp Fiction” which is my personal favorite. John Travolta and Uma Thurman truly groove sexy!
