*Pre-show panel discussion on “Roots of Hip Hop and the Pop Culture Massacre”
Panelists:
Crazy Legs,
Popmaster Fabel,

Jonathan Lee, and
Violet Galagarza.

There was lots discussed and debated upon in the panel and I'm thankful to have been in attendance. I'm letting it all marinate at the moment but I'll leave you with this... examples Popmaster Fabel mentioned that exemplify traces of hip hop before it was hip hop and that even the pioneers are still learning the history as well.
