The Revival (Europe, 2009, 17 min). Directed by Invincible. Produced by EMERGENCE Media and Iqaa the Olivetone.
The Revival gives a candid glimpse into the first meeting of legendary Hip-Hop pioneer Roxanne Shante and veteran Philly emcee Bahamadia, as they trade stories of their struggles and triumphs in the industry over their long careers. It shows the exchange of lessons between them and up-and-coming artists DJ Shortee, Eternia, Stacy Epps, and Invincible. This short documentary, a collage of performances and behind the scenes footage, was filmed by Invincible while on the road in Europe as part of We-B Girlz all women independent Hip-Hop tour. The largest all female Hip-Hop tour of its kind, it spanned over three weeks, six countries, and featured dozens of female artists who performed for tens of thousands of supporters.
Producer Just Blaze reminisces about his history at Baseline Studios (which he now owns). I am dying to know which rapper f*cked everybody up and created a bloody mess??
Interesting report from CNN about a bi-racial, Chinese woman who recently competed on a chinese version of an "Singing Idol" competition. Public comments stemming from her appearance became nasty and insensitive. Although Lou Jing was subjected to racist criticism, she still enjoyed a great deal of support from the viewing audience.
Thanks to ILLSEED from ALLHIPHOP for the original post.
