Burning Down the HouseCall and Response[5 February 2008] by Dan NishimotoA pack and purge process got Nishimoto to thinking about Jay Electronica, who may be the M.I.A. that hip-hop has been waiting for.
Call and Response
Yes We Can CanDan Nishimoto05.Jun.08 The recent "censure" of The Boondocks demonstrates the difficulty art faces in raising a critical converation in a corporate setting. Considering hip-hop's deep embedding into corporate culture, how can radical change happen? 
It Ain't No JokeDan Nishimoto01.Apr.08 Hip-hop, like most other arts, intentionally pays humor less mind because, hey, it's not supposed to be taken seriously! But seriously. 
Viva 'Wild Style'Dan Nishimoto11.Dec.07 Wild Style confirms what we now know for a fact: hip-hop wanted to and succeeded in blowing up. No one in the cast/ crew/ generation could conceive what it meant to go pop.
