>I've seen people write shit like <BR>>"I went and gave a flyer <BR>>to this sister with a headwrap <BR>>because I knew she would be <BR>>down." WHUUTTT? People seem <BR>>to think that just because you <BR>>have a headwrap or natural hair <BR>>you are socially conscious, pro-black, and <BR>>into underground hip-hop and jazz. <P>Ay, yo, on the real, when it comes to passing out fliers, you do make value judgments like that. My folks (Amphibians) have been doing events since early 97 and when I was on street promotions mode, I often made snap judgments, often based on dress and "vibe", about who I handed a flier to. If one girl walked by with a crotch high mini-skirt and "down to the back" weave extensions, side by side with a sister with a headwrap and a flowing summer dress and I've got a flier for abstract hip-hop, who do you think I'm handing the flier to????? Yeah, maybe the sista with her man Pookie's name tattooed on her left breast really digs Aceyalone, but if I only have 10 fliers left, I ain't gambling, sorry...<P>Peace,<P>Spirit<BR><a href="http://amphibians.iuma.com">http://amphibians.iuma.com</a><BR><a href="http://infiniteloop.iuma.com">http://infiniteloop.iuma.com</a><BR>DC hip-hop is on the rise...
