Doug E. Fresh is currently set to make an appearance at the upcoming Memphis stop of LL COOL J's F.O.R.C.E. tour, and Rock The Bells caught up with the Hip-Hop legend to get his take on the elements of Hip-Hop.

Specifically, he talked about why it's so important to acknowledge beatboxing as the fifth element.

"I think it's so important because when you look at Hip-Hop, you got the DJ, the MC — master of ceremony, which is different than a rapper — you got graffiti artists, you got the break dancer, and you got the fifth element, which is beatboxing," he said.

He went on to talk about the connectivity of the first five elements of Hip-Hop — creative expression.

"The reason why it's the fifth element is all five things are dealing with artistic expression. A lot of people think it's the sixth, but it's not, because knowledge is infinite. But the creation is within these five elements."

You can catch Doug E. Fresh live on the F.O.R.C.E. Tour. In addition to being in Memphis on Aug. 22, he'll be appearing in Denver (Aug. 29), San Francisco (Sept. 1), and Boston (Nov. 19). Tickets are available now at rockthebells.com/forcelive.
