Hip-Hop History Month Kicks Off
November 1st marks the start of Hip-Hop History month. The Universal Zulu Nation will pay tribute to the pioneers of the genre during the weekend of November 7th-9th in New York City.
KRS-1's Temple of Hip-Hop will also pay homage tomorrow, by presenting the 1st Annual Temple of Hip-Hop Showcase in Atlanta.
In that event, rappers will compete for the chance to open up for The Blastmaster.
"Hip-hop was created be about peace, love, unity and having fun in order to help people to get away from the negativity that was plaguing our streets," Afrika Bambaataa said. "Even though this negativity still exists, as the culture progresses, we play a big role in conflict resolution and encouraging positivity."
KRS-1, M.C. Shan, Keith Murray, Roxanne Shante, Dana Dane, Joe Ski Love, Newcleus, Kurtis Blow and others will perform at the Zulu event.
In October or 2002, Senator Pedro Espada Jr. of the 32nd Senate District, in the State of New York, recognized November as the official Hip-Hop History month.
This years Zulu celebration is dedicated to Hunter College student Matthew Hall, a Zulu who was gunned down in Harlem in October.
