I love this thread! Hip hop evolution begs the question “what is hip hop?” and a torrent of ideas ensue.
It IS about the Hustle, and it IS about the strategies that make for success in creating a better life for ourselves, our loved ones and everyone else.
It IS about the purity of artistic integrity, genuine self-expression and fealressness to pursue peace, truth and justice in the most skillful way possible.
But it’s also about the balance between these two aspects.
My team at Little Brother Creative has developed a game that intuitively teaches just that.
Legend oft he Cipher uses the format of strategy-based trading card games, like Yugioh or Magic: the Gathering (typically a ‘Geek’ niche, wherein there is NOTHING on hip hop), and used it to gamify an MBA’s worth of education in manage a hip hop career, then integrated that card play with authentic cipher culture to produce a game that transforms players thinking and abilities in hip hop’s arts, entrepreneurial shema, it’s history and culture. Rather literally, hip hop’s hustle and flow.

We have a Kickstarter going, we’re in the middle of a multi-tiered networking campaign, and we’re set to debut our Beta release at Comic Con NY, courtesy of The Lair.
Please give us a quick look to see just how much positive potential we’ve packed into this overwhelmingly viable social market plan.
Bless, and metta to all,
