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.
