Come join me at the Harlem Book Fair as I listen to Greg Tate, Danyel Smith, Ronin Ro, Toure, and Nelson George discuss our favorite music culture at the 3 decade mark.
I can't find the specific time for this panel. Somebody please clue me in!
More Details:
The Devolution of Hip Hop: Hip Hop Turns 30
Location: Harlem Hospital Auditorium Time: 1:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.
Moderator: Mark Anthony Neal (New Black Man)
Panelists:
Nelson George (Hip Hop America; Accidental Hunter);
Greg Tate (Everything But the Burden: What White
People Are Taking from Black Culture, ed.);
Ronin Ro (Raising Hell: The Reign, Ruin, and Redemption of Run-D.
M. C. and Jam Master Jay),
Danyel Smith (Bliss);
Bakari Kitwana (Why White Kids Love Hip Hop),
Gwendolyn B.Pough (Check It Before I Wreck It)
Ralph Ellison only hoped we'd translate black vernacular in such a way as to gain entry into the hallowed house of art. How could he know that Ralph Lauren would one day broker that vernacular's marketing prowess into a worldwide licensing deal for bed sheets writ large with Jay-Z's John Hancock? Where Hip Hop was once a buyer's market in which the audience decided what was street legit, it has now become a seller's market, in which what gets sold as hip hop is whatever the boardroom approves. This panel explores the life and breath of Hip Hop.
