Introduction
Decades ago, I got into an argument with a Yeeker about ATL Hip Hop.
Believe it or not, this came out of his mouth.
- Hip Hop has nothing to do with Yeeking, they are two separate things.
Like you, I stood in pain and paused, how do you respond to a horrible viewpoint?
However, I now must realize that if a Yeeker can be lost, the rest of Humanity will surely be confused and lost in Non-Cultural Whirlwinds.
So . . . this blog post will answer this question.
The Connection
I’m going to make this simple.
ATL Hip Hop is the Family Tree and Yeeking is one of the Major Trunks.
Why is this such a hard topic to grasp?
People don’t have problems categorizing Breakdancing as Hip Hop, but have a problem with doing the same for Yeeking.
Let’s break it down people.
Yeeking is the Original ATL Form of ATL Hip Hop Dancing, that’s it.
Let’s not complicate the issue.
Now, let’s return to the original question, why should you care about Yeeking?
