In 2005, Katrina waters rose and damn near took out a culture of life in New Orleans. With it the people who call it home, rose again and rebuilt. Some slower than others but nonetheless, they came home to put the pieces back together. And now some are even proudly buying a home at home... like the brotha who is featured in this interview.
Let's fast forward to today, February 5, 2010 where the same city, who boost of a huge Superdome has a pulse that has always chanted and cheered for the Black N Gold. Where kind hearted brothas, like a.levy, are getting their hustle on and I mean, really taking care of business. Which is the pulse of that same culture. I know you saw the last interviews...and places like Philly ain't no different either.
For the first time in history, we are looking at HipHop as a culture, a religion, a way of life. Just like we are witnessing the birth of the Super Bowl Saints and the transition into their prime. All beating in the heart of New Orleans.
Is it all a coincidence? Naaaah. I don't think so...
I think it has a lot to do with those peepin tom's...
WHWN Asks What Are Your Thoughts on HipHop and the New Orleans native, a.levy, smirkly replies:
"The same reason why "The Inside Man" was a bigger box office success then "Malcolm X" for Spike Lee. The majority does not want to see or hear anything that resembles reality. In the hood "Scarface" is the most watched movie and Soldier Slim is the most beloved N.O. artist. Ask those same people who Truth Universal or who Bionik Brown is and they’ll say they don’t know. Even in the suburbs they use HipHop music as a portal to peak into the “hood” without endangering themselves."
Damn. HipHop Peepin Tom's. Let's roll. Here are his thoughts in his words...
