Red Ice TV - Episode 4 - Symbolism in Logos (Must See Video)

This episode was filmed in Bath and Bristol, England featuring special guests such as Michael Tsarion, Neil Hague, Ralph Ellis, Leo Rutherford, Neil Kramer, Dan Tatman and Peter Taylor. We also interview a priest, university students, teachers and of course a couple random pub interviews. We begin the show discussing the symbolism of two major corporations, Starbucks and Apple. What is really being said in logos?

France-1992) a book of interviews and photos of international Hip-Hop artists including Afrika Bambaataa, The Last Poets, Public Enemy, KRS 1, Rock Steady Crew, MC Solar, IAM, NTM among others, Co-authored with his late mother D.Bardin is a classic.

Remembering the New Cross Fire 30 Years On- at The Albany Theatre, South London 14/1/10

Remembering the New Cross Fire 30 Years On

An evening to mark the 30th Anniversary of the New Cross Fire at The Albany Theatre Deptford South London 14/1/10

On Sunday January 18, 1981 a devastating house fire killed 13 young black people during a birthday party in New Cross, South East London. The black community accused the London Metropolitan Police of covering up the cause, which they suspected was an arson attack motivated by racism. The protests arising out of the fire led to a mobilization of black political activity, but nobody has ever been charged in relation to the fire.


Kwame Kwei-Armah hosts this event to mark the 30th Anniversary of the New Cross Fire incorporating music, film, spoken word and discussion to remember the young lives lost and the impact the New Cross Fire has had on the lives of Britons today.

The event hopes to be an inspiring and uplifting remembrance with contributions from Alex Pascall OBE, Professor Gus John, Film Maker Menelik Shabazz, spoken word from Courttia Newland, El Crisis and Albany Associate Artist Zena Edwards and music from The Queens of Lovers Rock Carroll Thompson and Janet Kay.

"I Wanna Go Back!" 1993 The New School, Hip-Hop Elements & the Foundation's Return

B-Boy Steady Rockin' (Lords Of The Underground - Chief Rocka)

An Introduction to Early 90's Timbo Era Chorus Rap Part 2

In the Early 90's the Golden era style was starting to fall off, the new school Hip-Hop artists went back to the essence. Although it started as a fashion rehash in the "Hardcore Baldhead" Timbo era, Old school Bombers (Puffer Jackets), Ski Goggles, Mock Necks, Suede Pumas, Adidas Superstars and Backpacks, were the hottest styles, again. It even crossed over to the New York "Club Kid" Rave Scene, Platform Shell Toes anyone? But the fashion became a genuine expression within the the Hip-Hop movement, as MCs that were too young to participate in the Park Jam era, showed their love for the culture. Uptempo club freindly tracks, B-Boys, Dance routines, Graffiti, real DJ skills, Beatboxing and Video cameos by the Legends of Hip-Hop. Looking at it now it looks nostalgic, but to many at the time it is evident that it was a new generation of Hip-Hoppers seeking their own history, and making it their own, not a carbon copy of what went before. Here are a few stand out videos of that time. Please feel free to add some others you feel we missed!


The Hip-Hop community demanded the Old School be represented, and the mainstream was forced to pay homage to the pioneers they tried to bury. The Source November 1993 Featuring Kool DJ Herc Afrika Bambaataa & Grandmaster Flash the excellent T.R.O.Y. Blog uploaded the best parts here was a much needed burst of Old School right knowledge!
