Some of ya'll remember the Images of Women in Hip-hop panel that I attended ealier this year. The event had potential, but the passion of the audience overwhelmed the moderator and the discussion broke down into a shout fest.
Afterwards I rounded up some friends who were there to share their reactions. My boy Jay Smooth said:
"What this event clearly showed is that there is a great deal of passion in the community about these issues, and we need a lot more outlets where that passion can be aired, and where we can work toward that dialogue. Because at this event, frankly there was so much passion that this medium couldn't handle it and it descended into chaos."
I agree. Unfortunately hip-hop doesn't have it's own OP-ED page to work out our social-political ying yang.
Until now. SOHH's own "Connect Politc" blog will play host to hip-hop's best thinkers. We're inviting writers, activists, artists, and industry insiders to pair up, tackle a specific topic, and work it out.
Connect Politic won't be the place for aging rock critics trying to understand the "cultural significance" of Lil' Jon. And you won't hear from from hypemasters who love decoding the secrets of Swishahouse to pre-teen White girls.
No, no. Conncet Politic is FUBU, my dude- For Us, By Us.
To spark it off our first guest writers are Danyel Smith and Kim Osorio. Kim used to be the editor-in-chief of The Source. Danyel did the same at Vibe, and has a new novel coming out.
I look forward to reading what they have to say. I hope you are too.
