Field Trip No. 1
Field Trip No. 1 for Sabir’s classes Fall 2007
Friday, Sept. 28, 2007 @Slim's 333 11th St, San Francisco, CA, 94103-4313, (415) 255-0333, http://www.slims-sf.com/
For our first trip of the semester we will attend a concert with Supernatural, who is a master at freestyling. The concert details follow. I am going to see if I can get a discount on the price, so don’t get your tickets yet. I’ll let you know Wednesday or Thursday. What I need you to do is let me know if you can attend.
You are encouraged, but not required to attend; however, seeing the artists perform will certainly inform our comments about artists whose work is this genre. Email me at professorwandasposse@gmail.com.
The assignment will be to write a short essay, 250-500 about freestyle, the art of rap using the concert as an example to illustrate your points. This will be a descriptive essay. In preparation we will look at freestyling and also at the biographies of the artists on the bill. If anyone has any prior knowledge of the artists, please bring in material to share. Let me know in advance if you need technology. We will do this next week beginning Monday. I am not on campus on Fridays.
The Magnificents featuring Rahzel, MC Supernatural and DJ JS1
Showtime: 9:00 PM (Doors: 8:00 p.m.). Ticket price: $16/$18
Tickets available on-line at: slimstickets.com, Tickets.com
All Ages 6 and Over
The undisputed “Godfather of Noyze” has re-defined the beat box. A self-defined “vocal percussionist,” Rahzel has perfectly mastered this quintessential hip hop art form and has emerged as a true virtuoso. To hear him is to be converted.
Supernatural has been on the scene for more than 15 years, earning worldwide props for his high profile battles and freestyle showmanship. Constantly blowing audiences away with his on-stage magnetism, he was featured on the Word of Mouth tour alongside Dilated Peoples, Jurassic 5, & the Beat Junkies, and also toured with Linkin Park on the Projekt Revolution Tour. Respected as one of the most gifted emcees in the game, Supernatural has etched a special place in hip-hip history for his undeniable freestyle skills. He tackles a number of topics with an electrifying delivery and deft wordplay; from battle narratives, social commentaries, to industry issues, Supernatural shines from start to finish
