The Real Ol' School

I have appreciated everything that Kashi has been teaching and it has inspired to look up and research everything that I read in out text. I really liked the Danny Hoch film and Rennie Harris' performances. The reading within Part II No Time for Fake Niggas: On the Question of Nigga Authenticity by R.A.T Judy was very informative and forced me to really think and value my vocabulary and what one additional letter can do to a culture. I especially like when the author breaks down, thoroughly, the difference between a badman and bad nigger. That shit right there is the truth. I want to bring the part of the article where the author explains, or tries to explain, the difference between a nigger and a nigga to comedians and all people that like to make these kinds of jokes so that they know the true distinction for themselves and maybe in the future they can make more informative jokes about their culture.
Other than that, I've looked up a couple of things on youtube that the book kept repeating. One of the main artists that the book continuosly calls on to show where rap beats originate is James Brown. So I put up one of his songs that you can probably figure out was mixed in one Grandmaster Flash's mixes for a party. I also put up Sly & the Family Stone which Afrika Bambaataa used for his mixes. Finally, I put up, I believe, one of Grandmaster Flash's first mixes for a club party.
