Hip Hop As A Movement Week

Thursday, April 13, 2007

Madison, Wisconsin

During the week of April 13th through April 21st, Madison hosted a weeklong gathering of hip hop and spoken word events called Hip Hop As A Movement Week. The all ages, free event included performances, poetry slams, battles, workshops, and panels. I didn’t get a chance to check out everything but I did catch a few shows.

I'm posting two blogs with pics from Thursday's show, "Hip Hop: Alive and Well" Concert with The Coup, Anomolies, Culture Shock Camp, Big Quarters, and others that was held on the lovely Memorial Union Terrace at the University of Wisconsins campus. The following 4/20 photos are from the ”Madison’s Finest” Youth talent show with the legendary Afrika Bambaataa. I didn't catch everyone's name so if you know some of these people, hit me up and I'll update the blog. Much respect to the students who put this event together. As an event planner myself, I understand how much work something like this can be. What I saw was well organized and I had a great time.

Ran into some old friends and made a few new ones. Always good to be blessed with the presence of good people.

Peace & love -
