Old School Flashback

Missy Elliot (Sista) feat. Craig Mack: Its Alright

No idea Missy was in a group, but now I know she always loved to rap. I read she clashed with Devante and left the group, so followed the others.

Top Music Artists

• Busta Rhymes: creative, energetic, "mr. excitement" (The Coming, Anarcy, The Big Bang)
• Enimem: desturbing, Out there, random. He has the "mind of a serial killer", thats why i can relate to his lyrics (Slim Shady, Marshal Mathers, Relapse)
• Ludacris: Animated,Wild. Underrated but defintely top 10 in dirty south rappers lists (Word of Mouf, Chicken and beer, ReleaseTherapy) "i throw it up like capitasal, i got my rap diploma, i throw it up like the gangs in southern califoria

• Sade: unique voice that sounds like it defines quiet storm (Diamond Life

Whats New

Way to much school work!! 300-400 level classes, part time hours at work, working on presentations for the art festival

Goals: Get a 3.0 (doubt it), create some stuff for the student art show, learn about designing, animation, and website making to make money by the summer doing it, and lastly enjoy being 21. (the end)

Urban ARt Exhibition 3-27-10

I went to the one in D.C. on a friday night because my teacher recommended it to us, and I need it for my grade. It was actually really fun. Cool artwork, free alchohol, break-dancing, mostly old school hip-hop music, live performances. One by a guy who seemed caribean and three girls singing, a rap performance by the host which was barely audible. The artwork was mostly grafiti and street artwork that was hip-hop inspired, some featuring slick rick and outkast, among other rappers. My favorite pieces were a painting with Tupac and Biggie on different sides of the picture, like a card with a different image on either side, but both images a connected. Another one was a black man with his two different sides, both good and evil unable to avoid tempation of a female.

This video is unique in that it used the fish-eye lens through the whole the video and not every shot is a close-up of the persons face.
