Kanye West Interview

For The Youth--Revamped

Dominique back here in the spot to submit a critic for you. As for Dominique's preformance she has made much better strides. As a baby in the Hip Hop game, the artist did write a pretty dope poem. I enjoyed it and could definitely tell it took a lot of time to create. Following her last performance of Cumulus High and the rendition of Roxanne's Revenge, I feel that she has improved greatly with her public speaking. Not to mention the fact that in a public arena like campus square I am sure there were people around her trying to figure out what she was doing. As for the content of her piece, I think it was very relevant to her time. One of my favorite lines was "...like sunparched flesh picking rhyms on Capital C's plantation...". You can definately tell that there was a lot of though put into this piece. PROPS. Titled, "Another Message" gives me a feeling that she is putting this out there for youth of her time to her. I suppose the message of "Another Message" is not to forget the roots of Hip Hop, where it started no matter who or what you are into. Especially in a time of Soulja Boys and Lil Mamas this piece would bring some of our youth a reality check. To stop rapping about cars, clothes, and guns and start rapping about relevant subjects that apply to them. Simply, if your a college student at Lehigh, stop rapping about your lambos and tech nines.This artist is bursting with potential. Although she has a long way to go in terms of her performance I feel she could make it to the top.

upstairs and underground

its funny. ive noticed that wenevr you talk about "real hip hop" the only thing that people think of is underground hip hop. can "real hip hop" be comercial music as well? or  does it trun fake as soon as the artist becomes a household name? i think that "real hip hop" can be underground, sure, but it can also be popular as well. take Nas for example, i believe he produces "real hip hop" and he is a household name. 

try this at home

i googled "real hip hop" and the following images popped up. there is a disparity in definition:

[please note the picture of the three young men on the black couch was captioned with the following "...on 

our real hip hop shit".]
