Bun-B Teach Hip-Hop Course at Rice University

3 feb 2011, 17:44



[/p]Houston rapper, Bun-B had the honor of lecturing 250 students at Rice University and MTV was on-hand to document the moment.[/p]The whole point of me as a Hip-Hop artist and a representative of the Hip-Hop community teaching this course, was to inspire people that Hip-Hop doesn?t have to be confined within the conditions that we know it to be confined.[/p]You don?t have to just be a Hip-Hop artist in a club, or an arena or a studio or on television or on the radio. That Hip-Hop has the opportunity to educate and inform and inspire people across all walks of life, within all settings. I feel like being able to teach at a college university is a perfect example of showing how Hip-Hop can influence the minds of the next generation.[/p][p]

Chris Lighty: There Is No Such Thing As A Sellout!

2 feb 2011, 12:51



Hip-Hop impresario and manager to some of hip-hop's biggest stars such as LL Cool J, 50 Cent, Soulja Boy, Busta Rhymes and many others, Chris Lighty sits down with NYOIL to discuss brand endorsement and why, 'there is no such thing as a sell out".[/p]"I think the disconnect that comes into play today is people do not accept that hip-hop became a business. Once it became and shifted to a multi-billion dollar business, It wasn't that the culture changed, it was the way we were handled within the culture that changed. Now we had to be more business-like, now we had to think more strategic. We always was thinking outside the box, but we had to think outside the box within a corporate society. We can not be renegade all day, every day being a renegade will have kept us as a nice niche business such as Jazz Music".[/p]In this day of branding extension that reflects back to the mighty dollar they are not thinking: "how do I generate interest and money and get my message across without being deemed a sellout? " There is no such thing as a sellout. [/p]

Obama?s Health Care Reform Will Help Hip Hop Pioneer

2 feb 2011, 12:20



Earlier this week, we reported founding father of the hip-hop culture, Kool Herc being hospitalized and struggling to meet medical cost. Currently, recovering from complications from kidney stones, he released a statement via MTV

?We live in one of the superpowers of the world!? Herc said in a statement to MTV News on Tuesday (February 1). ? ?Give me your tired, your poor ? ? and then you don?t take care of them? There should be no weak ants in the colony. There shouldn?t be anyone fighting for health care! This has been going on too damn long! We fought for 1520 Sedgwick to get landmark status, and in 2007, New York State officially recognized it as the ?Birthplace of Hip Hop.? Now we are fighting for health care not just for me, but for everyone. I see this situation as another quest for me to shine light on a sensitive issue for the community. I?m an instrument of God. I?m here for a purpose and I want to be here for the solution.?[/p] Related posts Hip-Hop's Founding Father Kool Herc Is Hospitalized (January 30, 2011)">Hip-Hop's Founding Father Kool Herc Is Hospitalized (0)
