How can hip hop mean so much to a young person?
When I was younger, I was hooking up my moms record player to my stereo in order to make a pair of decks. Scratching never felt so pure. Learning about this genre of music that means so much to all of us is a priceless thing. My good home-girl Alicia Bell is trying to make that possible for a lot of youth, so please come to this show in the Bronx and support this cause.

The Age of Aquarius
The sign of walking contradictions: A WATER-BEARING AIR SIGN???? Who does that? lol.
Well, ALL three members of Rebel Starr are AIR SIGNS, but two happen to fall under the roof of the 11th House: Aquarius.
Next Friday, they’ll be celebrating their birthdays with some of the coolest folks in the NYC scene who share the same sign…including a promoter, a radio personality, and other artists.
So, what do you know about Aquariuses…..
The eleventh sign of the zodiac is Aquarius. It is represented by the water bearer. Aquarius is the sign of the future and the water bearer reflects the idealism of the new life the future promises. Don’t expect an Aquarian to follow the crowd. They are individuals who like to do their own thing and they enjoy being different. Aquarians take pride in their intellectual independence. They can be liberal and progressive in thought, and yet still fixed in their opinion. However, they are fair judges of different opinions because they don’t let emotions get in their way.
Aquarians love more than anything to be in the company of other people. One of the friendliest signs of the zodiac, they are true “people” people. Aquarians will find their kindness helps them attract friends wherever they go. Their humanitarian beliefs make them concerned for the welfare of all. Yet, while they love people, they tend to avoid getting too deeply involved in a relationship for fear of losing their independence.
Aquarians are creative and imaginative, but better at dreaming up ideas rather than putting them into practice. They would rather spend their time thinking up new ideas than putting the ones they have already thought of into motion. They leave that job to others. Those born under the sign of Aquarius are true visionaries and leaders.
Unconventional
Aquarians relish in their unconventional ways. Their unusual thoughts lead them to think “outside of the box” and therefore, they are often seen as great thinkers. They are always looking for a new way to do something. This helps them avoid one of their greatest enemies – boredom.
The combination of their creative attributes, original thoughts, kindness, and love of people makes them perfect leaders. However, while they will take your opinion of something into consideration, you may be unlikely to change their own thoughts on the subject.
Friendly
Aquarians value friendship very much. Once you have a friendship with an Aquarian, you can expect them to be loyal. If you find yourself in a bind, ask an Aquarian friend for help. They will not hesitate to be there for you. They are the humanitarians of the zodiac and their altruistic ways naturally draw people to them.
Aquarians usually never find themselves at a loss for companionship, but because they value their independence so, they may not make the best lovers. If they feel they are trapped, they will use any excuse to break free.
Weaknesses
Aquarians can be stubborn in their opinions. They can become impatient with those who don’t see their point of view and disagree with them. They are fiercely independent and this can make them seem cold, detached, and impersonal at times. They embrace their eccentric ideas so much that they can be viewed as rebellious and unpredictable.
Parts of the Body Ruled by Aquarius
The circulatory system, shins, and ankles – Aquarians may be prone to ankle and shin strains and breaks. Because they are ruled by the circulatory system, they may also have varicose veins and hardening of the arteries due to circulatory problems.

What is Hip Hop?
In the summer of 2009 Anna Ericson and Andrea Berglund traveled to New York to start the documentary movieproject “What is Hip Hop?”. A movie about the many definitions of this subculture and about the people who live and breath Hip Hop everyday. How do these women and men percieve the artform and where is it going from here?
This is a preview of what the project is all about and shows some of the people who will participate and introduces the themes that are discussed.
Shouts out to Anna and Andrea and all of our friends across the water.

Beyond Race Magazine takes a look at Idle Warship (Talib Kweli, Res, Graph Noble), Trezure, Jah C and the Antidote and Rebel Starr after their action pack galactic performance at South Paw in Brooklyn, NY…..
…..Rebel Starr, two Aquarian “twins” (one boy and one girl), and a DJ (Raydar Ellis) who doubles as an emcee, and a college professor, the anime obscure, outer-galaxy trio who look like a “Black is Beautiful” campaign poster, or some fraction of a Black Power group (meets early millennium earth bling) has a rare variety of hip-hop that is ultra-energetic, lyrically rapid and visually intense….
