Hip Hop Is Dead?: This will be an open panel discussion about the
ongoing statement that has seem to become the phrase of the moment
(like “keep it real”) to see whether or not Hip Hop has truly passed
away, and to discuss whether or not the 4 elements exist or can
co-exist today without the stigma or being labeled “old school”. This
panel will bring together people of the Hip Hip and rap music

observations and experiences dealing with Hip Hop and rap music
culture, how they saw it then, how they see it now, and their outlook
on the future.

‘Frienemies’

Frienemies about representing in the ciphers. Every b-boy and b-girl is
on their own! No preset battles. In the early to mid-80s, breaking was
at an all time high throughout the world. Crews were rolling thick and
a lot of them got along. The only time they didn’t get along was when
it was time to battle in the club. Rock Steady Crew and New York City
Breakers were going to Places like Negril, The Roxy, Kennedy High
School and other places where jams were going down. No one was worried
about hurting any ones feelings or concerned with battling their own
friends with a fierce will to win. We were all “FRIENEMIES”.
‘Frienemies’ is the place to battle that person that you chill with on
a regular basis and show him/her that they’re not as good as they brag
about all the time.
