THE HISTORY OF HIP HOP CULTURE


Many of us believe that hip hop is a music genre, but unfortunately we are wrong. Hip hop is more of a dance technique cum repeated singing along method. The genre of Rap music is sometimes confused with Hip Hop. The Hip Hop history is considered very old and originates from Jamaican island. In Jamaica, there is a tradition of making toasts in dinners or get together.


On a very same Jamaican night, a DJ named Kool Herc, was playing music, when he started to use different lines along the songs. With that he also started using two records on different turntables and started to control them manually with his hands and thus the lines of the songs starts repeating. That became a regular thing, where DJs would begin a song on two different records and then start repeat the songs, and it became a huge success as this way of music play is really appreciated by fans of all kinds of music lover, because Hip Hop is more of a culture than music.

THE SHINING DARK OF THE MOON

Saw the movie on the first day of release, 29th June, and was able to just make it, because it was so crowded. Almost everyone from all age genres were there. There was a lot of fuss, and people were going for 3D, but more were going for 2D

The film, yes, the film has its moment. The film starts with a good detailed but a bit disoriented Cybertron, you will see what I mean. We are introduced to the new character Carly, the replacement for Makaila (Megan Fox) at the very start, but a bit abruptly. Mommy and Daddy Witwicky were there as well, I thought that Mommy Witwicky has a bit more mature character this time, but wrong again, you'll see. And then came the Autobots.......Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, Iron Hide, Ratchet, SideSwipe, CliffHanger, Arcee and a mad scientist of an Aoutobot, I guess Jolt is there as well and a few new Autobots, a total of 9.

Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf), is brilliant as ever, especially his freaked out screams 'WwAAAAAA.......WWAAAAAAA..AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......Bumble Beeeeeeeeee!!'


But the most engaging character of the film is the Sentinal Prime. Kind of a father to Optimus Prime and the Einstein of his Planet. His character is very important, and transforms into his famous Fire Engine and you will be kind of relieved to hear that he is on Autobots and a very nice friend to Optimus.

The mostly beloved Lennox (Josh Dumahell) is team there as well, with Agent Simmons and his new assistant Dutch are fun to watch. the sequence of the wing-suits jump is brilliant.You might come to  know that how widespread the network of these robots is in our world as suggested in the 2nd movie. There are a few scenes in the movie that would stun you for a while, as was everyone in the movie theater. they were like 'o' for quite a few minutes. When you see those scenes to have a look around at everyone's faces and I assure you that you'll enjoy.


The thing that I didn't liked about is that they deliberately used the Iranian Flag in a sequence that many people would find offensive. There wasn't any need to show that.

The CGI is brilliant, some sequence would give you goosebumps. But, critics are saying that there was a lot of CGI involved, but what they are forgetting is that more than 50% of the main characters are Robots. I dont know why they forget such detailed points while critisizing.

You might see a few loose ends in the movie but overall the movie is great. I would give it a B+.  I could have written the whole synopsis here but that would be spoiling the movie. Please do go and see the movie as you might be missing one of the best cinema sensation of all time.
