Hip hop culture is one of many creative traditions of Filipino/as. This blog is dedicated to recording, debating, and creating this part of Filipino/a cultural production... Like Krs-One says above, our community needs to get hip to the knowledge as we hop to the movement.MVnoreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055449051508867208.post-42708199962296816812009-01-17T13:43:00.000-08:002009-01-17T13:46:18.032-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jmhiEtcPCE8/SXFjyJbSN4I/AAAAAAAAAho/22O-TIPoP1E/s1600-h/TeamMillenia_Crew_025.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 255px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jmhiEtcPCE8/SXFjyJbSN4I/AAAAAAAAAho/22O-TIPoP1E/s400/TeamMillenia_Crew_025.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292120750312011650" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">For ABDC Season 3, Team Millenia means business</span></span><br /></div><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Note: Be sure to switch your feed/subscriptions to my new url: </span><a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://filamfunk.blogspot.com">http://filamfunk.blogspot.com</a><br /><br />America's Best Dance Crew Season 3 looks as crazy as ever. From <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/dance_crew/crews.jhtml?crew=dynamic_edition">cloggers</a> from Alabama to <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/dance_crew/crews.jhtml?crew=ringmasters">circus-style dancers</a> from Brooklyn, this season is probably the wildest yet. Like everyone's been talking about since Season 1, this show is a popular space with which to showcase Filipino talent (is it the "biggest" venue we've had?). Although Filipinos aren't as dominant in representation as in the two other seasons (Fil Am quota?), there still is a <a href="http://www.bakitwhy.com/abdc-season-3-casting-los-angeles">noticeable presence</a>. After getting booted in the first episode last season, <a href="http://filamfunk.blogspot.com/2008/06/fil-am-famous-is-dance-how-well-get.html">Team Millenia</a>, which is mostly Fil Am and comes out of the Fil Am college "modern" dance crews, is giving it a second shot. Let's wish them luck so we can get another largely Fil Am team in the ranks of ABDC victories, and hopefully get some sistas as winners for this show since only dudes have won so far. <a href="http://filamfunk.blogspot.com/2009/01/colonial-funk-americas-best-dance-crew.html">CONTINUE READING...</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8055449051508867208-4270819996229681681?l=hiphoplives-mrk904.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MVnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055449051508867208.post-60254420125454087782009-01-10T18:17:00.000-08:002009-01-10T18:21:21.625-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jmhiEtcPCE8/SWlW6GheGMI/AAAAAAAAAhg/5zHNzOtmpLQ/s1600-h/BRR.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 225px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jmhiEtcPCE8/SWlW6GheGMI/AAAAAAAAAhg/5zHNzOtmpLQ/s400/BRR.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289854793506756802" border="0" /></a>Before I get to "Beats, Rhymes, and Resistance," I'd first like to address the relationships between culture and politics. In the shadow of a historical transition to power with Barack Obama's presidency (what could be going through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Jackson#1988_presidential_campaign">Jesse Jackson's</a> mind right now?), there lingers many violent and disturbing acts of injustices. <span style="font-size:180%;"> </span><span style="font-size:130%;"><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://filamfunk.blogspot.com/2009/01/beats-rhymes-and-resistance-decade.html">Continue reading...</a></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Note: Be sure to switch your feed/subscriptions to my new url: </span><a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://filamfunk.blogspot.com">http://filamfunk.blogspot.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8055449051508867208-6025442012545408778?l=hiphoplives-mrk904.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MVnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055449051508867208.post-49339895644572297692008-12-28T13:14:00.000-08:002008-12-28T13:24:47.217-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://filamfunk.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;">Same blog, new URL address!
