Hip Hop and the Platonic Solids Breakdown

A basic overview of the 5 major elements of Hip Hop, how they are seen on a deeper look and their properties based on Plato's Platonic Solids.. and some feats and endeavors it took for this movement and kulture to become what it is known for today.  Predating Plato, the neolithic people of Scotland developed the 5 solids a thousand years earlier. The stone models are kept in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England.  Seen and unseen in everything, Mathematics is apart of our nature of universal truth and everything that surrounds us. Because of the calculations used in describing the geometry involving angles and vertices, there can be only 5 Platonic solids!  Plato concluded that they must be the fundamental building blocks—the atoms—of nature, and assigned to them what he believed to be the essential elements of the universe. He followed the earlier philosopher Empedocles in assigning fire to the tetrahedron, earth to the cube, air to the octahedron, and water to the icosahedron.



Breakdancin evolved from tribal as well as synchronization movement to break-beats. This represents FIRE and the physical that ignites Hip Hop's torch to be carried Olympic style thru the ages to come. Its shape is shown when a B-boy or B-girl stands with their feet shoulders' width apart and their arms over their head extended to the palms facing each other touching finger tips as a tetrahedron. When a B-boy or B-girl is spinning on his or her head with feet and hands extended outwards upside down representing an upside down star tetrahedron, showing that when the body is trained thru vigorous exercise it is able to pull the upper and lower divine triangles into equilibrium at the core. The only other art form of dance that comes close to this is Capoeira, a Brazilian form of martial arts from South America which involves lots of inversions as well as acrobatics. The body uses this form of communication to express its highest state in the form of plasma (Remember all stars are made of mainly plasma). With the amount of excitement from seeing a person use their body like a contortionist to high flying accents to fancy footwork. There is so much potential stored before and kinetic energy moving around afterwards! To see the colors are a result of relaxation of electrons in excited states to lower energy states after they have recombined with ions. These processes emit light in a spectrum characteristic of gas being excited.  Meaning that if you were to use an auric camera you would see an array of fireworks displayed!!!      Breakdancin is tuned to a lower frequency at least 30 hz which is much closer to the DJ than other elements. It could be viewed like colloidal silver opening up the body and breaking free of any limitations that have been put on the vessel. Self healing to those who participate in such an art form of extravagance and elegance as well as versatility.

 A Disc Jockey or a DJ (also seen as DeeJay) is one who preforms the art of riding a horse that marches to a beat while constantly playing polo with the needle and various records.  LOL Just kidding....  It is actually a person whom takes vinyl records on one or more turntables and spins, mixes and scratches them to a beat.  The DJ sets the tone for grounding to the earth at 7.83 hz frequency. The vibration of the Heart can be felt in the beat, this is the reason why so many cherish Hip Hop on a simple level and feel comfort. The back bone it is so solid catering to the audience and the culture and other elements @ the same time. When the diamond needle was invented it brought Djin to the completion The clarity, pitch, and durability were most noteworthy at this time. The synchronicity of the Record pathways manipulating tie and space proves the DJ is the gatekeeper of a powerful time machine able to take us thru multiple genres and decades of music instantaneously.  The Cube is the original shape of a turntable.. now a rectangular prism with 6 faces or hexahedron.  Without a DJ, Hip Hop would merely be another genre, however since being conceived, Hip Hop has birthed a boundary less precision master tool bringing so many different walks of life together for the sake of music empowerment.


Graffiti is the fluidity of Hip Hop. It takes on so many various shapes and forms to bring higher visions unto the viewer motivating the mind to map out unknown territory as an outlet of projection. From trains to subways to billboards to bridges to ramps to parking garages and so many other places. Ordinary walls become the talk of the town and street murals become the cities pride. An art form that truly says "the world is my canvas." Some call it vandalism, only if it is used in a way that does not provide an intellectual outlet it is vandalism of the mind. At a frequency of ~42.7 KHZ it is the highest in the elements and is very quick, sharp, and effective at penetrating our oculars. Only takes less than 5 seconds to see sumthing and recognize it. On the other hand, what makes things interesting is how many faces an Icosahedron has ... 20 compared to the other elements showing us the complexity and versatility which is why it shines as Hip Hop's Present day Golden Hieroglyphics. To the average eye, so above and beyond comprehension that we have to decipher what we consider having what happens already seen to start to unravel what it is telling us about our future of language.


Emcee or MC an abbreviation for Master of Ceremony.  To be an Emcee is being the bird of your choice with the wind of upliftment of our culture from an inner voice that cannot be silenced no matter what happens. With wings spread as far and wide... Calling upon the spirit of all knowing. Tuned to a frequency of 500hz where the air resides in our bodies.. in between the heart and the solar plexus at the diaphragm. Sound is brought to you by air molecules. In fact, an octahedron shows that air is hot and wet sharing similarities to a tetrahedron (so above so below showing the right side up and upside down adjoining at an equilibrium point of zero. There is water in the air, even within the driest of climates on the planet. Of course there is the whole being brought into an artists work from lowest to highest frequency as well....   There is an overall Meaning that an Emcee has the ability to bring spirit into the physical as well as communicating the visions of fluidity. An Emcee can invite the the boiling point of the flow and intertwine the other elements into stronger bond thru communication. Shamans of ancient times were known for going thru ceremonies to reach a trans-personal state within their journey this can be done in different ways... Some Emcees know this to be a form of freestyle.  That is why I see platinum as being an emcee.  Platinum is more ductile than gold and silver meaning able to be deformed without losing toughness; pliable not brittle.  Also when viewing an emcee push the limits of breath which is definitely needed at times during a show or act.. platinum reacts with oxygen slowly at high temperatures such as when the dance floor gets ROCKIN!  Another way of looking at it is....usually an Emcee is directing the crowd and the ceremony in conjunction with the DJ and ART being displayed. Think on that one.. however... there are so many great things to be said about these great speakers of Hip Hop, but without the other elements the Emcee is just a diplomat!

Of course if you know the Platonic solids well... you realize I forgot one.. and that's the Dodecahedron.  Whoops! Well after much heated debate over quite sometime since its inception  This one is considered highly linked to the state of ether or aetherTo the dodecahedron Plato assigned the element cosmos, reasoning that, since it was so different from the others in virtue of its pentagonal faces, it must be what the stars and planets are made of.  However we know today that we are made of dead stars and we have seen people do things that make them.  The Dodecahedron is the knowledge of the culture...our 5th element of Hip Hop.  It can transmute electromagnetic energy used to manifest reality much like a stargate to other dimensions.


Hip Hop in its peak of delivery is a synthesis of all 5 major ellamentz. This creates a Unified Vector Geometry Sphere, same pattern shown in Self, our planetary grid structure, and our entire UnIverse. Omnidirectional. Anyone who has seen these 4 combined knows beyond the shadow of any doubt the complementary, reciprocacy, and energetic fusion.  Like seeing a galaxy for the first time in a telescope when all elements are together so many stars so much splendoor....the Sum of Awe...its AWESUM!  Mainstream media is leaving behind for the sake of exploitation, and "watering down" of our culture. You might have heard the saying "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link"- well folks, there is no weakest link here...only the KNOT OF INFINITY.
