Description of the workshop:
CULTURE CLASH: COLONIALISM, CORPORATISM AND CREATIVITY is a workshop that members of X-Vandals and the AgitRAP collective conduct. This workshop combines a lively discussion/lecture on the real history of HipHop culture from it's humble beginnings in the slums of the South Bronx, with a hands on workshop where attendants are taught to create their own "resistance rhymes" while simultaneously gaining/learning a new respect and reverence for the art of Rap.
X-Vandals passion and commitment to the cause and the culture, and their ideologically intense level of knowledge, energy, skill and realism set a new and staunch standard for Hip Hop and its righteous quest black to the future. X-Vandals are the truth. I hope you can handle it?" - Chuck D of Public Enemy
MC Not4Prophet of Ricanstruction, and DJ Johnny Juice of Public Enemy, along with MC spiritchild, and their guiterrorist AX, are X-Vandals, and together they have rican-structed a truly incendiary and incite-full, dangerous and danceable, modern-day militant music made and played to move the Masses and mold minds.
Raised in the uptown barrios of New York City, these neo-school NuYoRicans now known collectively as the X-Vandals have re-fashioned and fused all the fire, fury, filth and funk of the ghetto streets of their upbringing, with the creative calle cultures currently called hardcore Hip Hop, political punk rock and seditious salsa to spawn a brand new breed of rebel music for the underground and by the under class. Individually and collectively, members of X-Vandals have collaborated with and produced such popular Hip Hop artists as Public Enemy, KRS ONE, Beastie Boys, Slick Rick, Leaders of the New School, Dead Prez and others.
While these Anti-Corporate AgitRAP Agitators are best known for playing righteous rebel music to rebel to, they also offer enlightening lectures/workshops on street survival, the war of art and the history of HipHop as seen/scene thru a NuyoRican Cipher.
AgitRAP ain't just entertainment, it is an x-perience.
