NEW SCIENCE
The following was first published in the Maybelogic Quarterly Webzine back in September 2005. Called the New Science of Hip Hop Culture. Now re-edited June 12th 2008.
named in part after the great http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giambattista_Vico
And his Scienza Nuova which was a great influence on James Joyce and his recursive de-centralized Universe, best exhibited within:
- Finnegans Wake.
This piece was published 1 month before i left the United Snakes. Now edited for the MQ Print edition. IfThe new science of the “HipHop Culture Era”
“hip hop handihap out through the pikeopened arkway - James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, Page 22.
While chilling at ‘Reggae on the River festival 2005 up in kind Humbolt County, California, i was reading Finnegans Wake (22:33) while preparing for the Tale of the Tribe class at the MLA, I discovered the woidz “hip” and “hop” together. Or they discovered me?
Hippo hopparray helioscope flashed winsor places as the gates might see. –FW, Page 341.
Hip Hop was born from a complex of black origins. Like myself. A combination of social, technological and perceptive revolutions brought about by the invention of a brand knew language. A KNU vehicle and a vessel to carry the expanding post-quantum minds of the people’. A revolution telecommunications you spit. In the year 2005 i see the four-quarters of Hip Hop Culture split. I hipfully hop that a new holism can return,
“hippohobbilies, streetfleets, tournintaxes,
megaphoggs, circuses - FW, Page 5.Re-gloss a freshly painted picture, make a KNU representation of the great mystery of fnark-matter. Four internationally recognized corners of “hip hop’ culture - M.C eeing, D.J, Dance, Calligraphy are universal and translinguistic. From sombunal of my own experiences i have approximated and guessed that future spatio/temporal advances within timespace travel must also include the widely recognized four elemental axioms which contain ‘Hip Hop” culture’.
“she’ll after truss up and help that hussyband how
to hop. Hip it and trip it and chirrub and sing. –FW, Page 226.Freestyle rhyming seems a bit like shamanic languaging, just in an urban junglescape. It includes the vital spontaneous tools of invention required to comprehend the new science. Freestyle rapping builds upon metaphor like voltage.
“Hops of Fun at Miliken’s Make–FW, Page 176.
“No Chinese raised on I Ching has ever found quantum mechanics puzzling, said uncle Bob. I would add that Occidentals raised on a new science of “Hip Hop” culture, including I-Ching may not be so puzzled by implicit paradoxes. The neo psynce of “Hyp Howp” thrives on multiple identities pluralism metamorphoses divine ambiguity (DAMNBIGUITY), transformational psychology, stereoscopic perceptions, MAGIK and Attention IMHO.
“Fleppety!
Flippety! Fleapow!
Hop! –FW, page 15.Hip Hop the Meme and the Hip Hop culture have exploded around the globe, even challenging Rock as the major music genre most kids listen to. But Hip Hop maybe paying the price of misrepresentation, genre-splintering, and departing from the original FOUR disciplines in the direction of POP candy content and ego massage. Global Corporate Media controlling the language and distribution of Hip Hop? 2005 vs. 2008? Dance. Song. Improvisation. Calligraphy. Languajing.
“Burniface, shiply efter, shoply after, at an angle of lag, let flow.”–FW, Page 315.
World leaders and policy makers might do well to learn to tolerate new scientific language, new revolutionary languages and poetry from Hip Hop Culture, and Joycean Hoopsaloop culture.

honnessy, hoopsaloop luck.–FW, Page 325.Once you have had your tools twisted and taken away, your language arrested by T.V, your town and leisure center bulldozed and your free art and play space destroyed breakdancing in the street seems an appropriate last resort in any Hip Hop Apocalypse. Morphing into another face upon the cubehouse aerodeo-gramaglyphy: The ability to create alphabets with body parts. Using the suns light to create photoglyphs on a street wall. A Silhouette. A Freeze frame of a final symbol of communication from the Hip Hop community. Silent shadow.
“whipt! schneezed the Gracehoper,–FW, Page 417.
An experienced breakdancer can allude to multiple symbol systems simultaneously by spinning and switching grips. Body poetic.
“Two extremes of redundancy in English prose are represented by
Basic English and by James Joyce’s book Finnegans Wake.–Claude Shannon, Mathematical Theory Of Communications.In the process of condensing what i have experienced and witnessed in the United States and the United Kingdom over the last ten years i have re-arrived at the center of a what i like to call the cubehouse, or the knew science of the “HipHop Culture Earer”. My new experiences in Europe further the Joycean fun in multi-lingual, and multi-symbolic elements from generic Hip Hop forms. Graffiti and language. Spoken Word. Dance.
“come Bastabasco and hippychip eggs”–FW, Page 329.
Carlos Perez Shuma poetically compared spirits to “radio waves”, and said that once you turn on the “forest television” you can pick them up like radio waves, Its similar with souls.
(hip, hip, horatia!)–FW, Page 329.
Turntable music, breaking, M.C’ing, Maverick street painting/Calliglyphy come under the an umbrella of urban sham-ism. Dancing in the streets. Playing Loud music in New ways. Drawing and painting new scripts and new landscapes. Towards a new science of hip hop culture.fly acrillic 24
