In the realm of popular music, perhaps no genre has been as popular in recent years as hip-hop. However, hip-hop is hardly a new phenomenon, so in this article, we’re going to take an in-depth look at its history and try to make sense of it all.

remember Hip Hop started from kids in the ghetto, they didn't have pianos and guitars (couldn't afford it) they borrowed record players from their parents or friends, grabbed a mic and got creative. as they got more sophisticated they were able to invest in the drum machines, keyboards and other stuff but for the most part most cats keep a very minimal setup.
Check out Madlib that kid uses a little cheap drum machine and makes fire!
Actually, a while ago I found out why radios have tuning dials. It's so when you move house you can find BBC Radio 4 again.

I'd love to try the stuff just to say I had, but the quality of the liquor is I'm sure absolute crap.
The REALLY fowl stuff (pun intended) is some nordic or icelandic or inuit cultures (apologies, I don't remember which) actually put birds into bottles. That's very dangerous - much higher likelihood of contamination. The other animals aren't really that big of a deal.
It is absolutely foul by the way!!

I had some of the stuff, a friend has a neighbor that is from Vietnam, he had a few bottles of it. They poured the shot before I got to see the bottle, it was pretty potent stuff.
