The HOLLA 08/08/08 August 8, 2008

From the desk of Spoken Nerd:

So we are throwing a hip hop event called THE HOLLA. At the risk of over-defining something simple I'm going to attempt to explain what THE HOLLA is. I have spent the last several years of my life working on a hip hop project called SPOKEN NERD. One of the things that I have observed in this process is that the essence of hip hop has been quite distorted even from the beginning. I don't know that I even have a proper understanding about the origins of hip hop so I'm just going to speak for emcees. I'm also going to explain what emceeing is to me. To emcee is to speak Honestly. It is a social commentary. It is satire at it's greatest which includes some of our most sincere moments.

On 8-8-08 a group of hip hop fans will come together @ CAFE COCO to repent for our sins against society through hip hop. Let's face it! We've spit whack rhymes! We've bit people's styles! We've spit writtens and claimed them as freestyles! We've focused more on ourselves and ignored the beautiful community around us!

Leading up to the HOLLA, we are fasting from whack raps, pouring out our 40's on the curb and pulling up our pants in preparation for this event! Please come and be a part of this event!
