And Ya' Don't Stop: The User's Guide to Hip Hop
Cu rated by Khalil and DJ Flo
“And Ya Don't Stop” is a musical journey through Hip Hop and its continuing influence on popular culture. On February 24th, 2012, DJ Flo Fader and Khalil begin the show with the roots of Hip Hop, including Jazz, Blues, R&B, and Rock. Next, the duo break down the core elements of Hip Hop with live examples of DJ-ing and Turntablism, rapping and emceeing, break-dancing, graffiti art and writing, beat boxing, and producing. The show continues with an audio/visual timeline of hip hop music and culture, beginning with Kool Herc and the Sugar Hill Gang (1973–1982), proceeding with the Golden Age part I and the rise of Def Jam Records (1983–1989) and the Golden Age part II which was hip hop's most expansive creative curve (1990–2000), and concluding with the Modern Movement and hip hop's integration into mainstream society (2000–today). Where does it go from here? Last but not least is The After Party dance, where DJ Flo spins all the music and artists that were presented during the show. All attendees also get a special mix tape by Flo Fader. “And Ya Don't Stop”
Refreshments will will be served. Sponsored by Manny and the crew at the Cube Restaurant - One of New Mexico's finest soul food restaurants!
