Armed with fistfuls of elegant B-Boy finesse, charm and Kaap smarts, the boys shed some light on their place in the whirlwind of international Hip-Hop and how they are holding it down for the mother continent…making moves for the people by any means necessary!

Part 2 of the Saul Williams Interview

5,4,3,2,1 Countdown to armageddon. Step into the realm of legendary group Public Enemy. A group consisting of Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Terminator X and Minister of Information Professor Griff. The wake up call for me was in high school and Public Enemy was running around my school campus like the now infamous virus called H.I.V. I got infected with their message. The in ya face steez of Chuck’s lyrics…………
the flamboyance of Flava Flav with that big ass clock and the eloquence of Terminator’s decks. The P.E logo was all over my school walls. The war has begun on freeing us mentally and it just did that to me. A lot of youth being raised in this new age of hip hop didn’t even know the P.E logo cos radio and television is feeding them with messages that will not allow them to look past all the propaganda. Lets look at the charts. The 50 Cents, Ja rule’s and Nelly’s are ruling the airwaves not that there is anything wrong with vibey music but we need conscious music so that knowledge can be passed on from one generation to the other. What will happen if we all just wanna have fun? I made a ode to be the “Rebel without a Pause” and in this exclusive interview I had the time to find out from Chuck D why we shouldn’t believe the hype. Check it out.

Can you imagine receiving a glossy full color magazine with around 90 pages of underground hip hop information?  Can you also imagine not having to pay for this magazine?  Well this is exactly what Showcase magazine is all about.

Showcase is free and comes out bi-monthy and is a quality read.  It contains a lot of information about the indepedent rap scene, mostly from the Bay, NorthWest, Down South and LA.
