"colour meaning in hip hop culture"
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Could you explain a little more?

You asked me this at ProHipHop, I replied but you didn't acknowledge.
Basically, I'm not sure what you're talking about unless you mean gang colors which aren't a hip hop thing though they now overlap in various ways.
