Enough about Rhyme Cal…how bout the afterparty (in front of the Rhyme Cal
room)?! DJ Huggy was spinning some of the classic hip hop hits… You
should’ve seen the look on the cleaning guy’s face! Hey…they had to know
what would happen if they put piles of shredded paper, free alcohol, and
music in the same spot!
…ever seen Mac dance?! Looked like he was having fun to me! Again…this
is how WE do it!! We are all about having a good time as long as we are
getting the work done! (And there is PLENTY to do!) Ya gotta love this
work…

Hip Hop for Habeas!
Hip-hop’s always been a music of rebellion and improvisation, about making art with what you’ve got
- be it some turntables and disco records, or just beatboxing and freestyling on the corner. From the days of Afrika Bambaataa, hip-hop culture’s been struggling to overcome violence in our neighborhoods, the country, and the world.
So it’s only right that we get together from all over the country and rock the 9:30 Club in the capitol city to stop torture and tell our government it’s time to shut down Guantanamo.
The ACLU, Amnesty International and the Hip Hop Caucus got together so we could groove and get down against Guantanamo and the un-American acts of the government.
With people signing petitions in the back and a party in the front, we kept it hype. It’ll be a lot of the same cats at the ACLU’s Day of Action on Tuesday June 26th, 2007, and you know the League is going to be there!
Rev. Yearwood, event MC with J.Period on the wheels of steel.
Umi from the RGB Fam laying it down.
It wasn’t all rappers - the Readnex Poetry Squad blessed us with a bit of spoken word. (They were at the conference too - sitting right across the aisle from us at the scholarship session.)
Mystic and DJ Chela of the Universal Zulu Nation definitely represented for the ladies.
Hip-hop icons dead prez killed it…
Everybody in the crowd was caught up and full of solidarity with the struggle.
