Old School Scholar

I found this excellent article from the United Kingdom’s, The Independent, regarding the international appreciation of B-Boying as a fine arts presentation. The article is excellent due to the fact Hip Hop’s aesthetics are progressively being extracted and translated into other mediums as previously documented in Jeff Chang’s book, Total Chaos. This weekend, from May 3-5, it is the Breaking Convention 08: An International Festival of Hip Hop Dance Theatre at Sadler’s Wells in London.

For anyone who wants to represent the true school of Hip Hop and evangelize a “crunk head,” you got to go to Rock The Bells 2008 International Festival Series! It is the annual oasis of Hip Hop which has been growing since 2003! Revered as “A World-Class Hip Hop Platform,” Rock The Bells is boasting over 20 acts, 2 stages, and a cultural vendor village to quench every thirsty true school head in your area. All ages are welcomed!
