News Flash: Welcome!

Welcome, I am Daniel Masri (aka Lost Moniker) and this is my very own Hip Hop blog. Now, I know the term “Hip Hop Blog” isn’t something new to the internet due the prominence of Hip Hop and the digital age, however I intend to take a different approach. You’re probably wondering: “What does he mean by a different approach? Isn’t he just going to talk about news?”, well yes and no. While modern mainstream Hip Hop strives on the ideals of negative images and offering a lifestyle that less then ninety-percent of us will ever live, I think I can offer that ‘third pillar’ approach when looking at the culture.

As an artist and a fan, I have a deep rooted passion for Hip Hop. It’s what I grew up with and looked to at my hardest times and stayed with in my happiest moments. Now, I’m not trying to make this site look like a “anti-mainstream” site, because I think this quote is applicable to how I judge things: “Good music, is good music”. What I’m trying to do is offer alternate insight to the Hip Hop culture as a whole, and look at it from it’s roots, not it’s sales charts.

So I hope you enjoy your (hopefully frequent) visits here, and take time to comment on the various articles that will be posted up.
