Hip Hop Summit at Highline Community College
Some believe that hip-hop is dead. According to Northwest based hip-hop group, Blue Scholars, “it’s not, it’s just malnourished and underfed.” True story. Hip-hop music and culture is continuously thriving and evolving. Since it’s inception, each day has been a stepping stone for this multifaceted channel of expression.
On February 26 and 27, 2009, Highline Community College presents “The Hip-Hop Summit.” A two day long event showcasing a culture defined by creativity, diversity, knowledge and evolution. Help us gain strength in our movement and spread the word. Hip-hop don’t stop!
