What the BLEEP Happened to Hip Hop! conference and performances
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
What the BLEEP happened to HIP HOP?!

Hip Hop Congress, Move to Amend and the NE Ohio American Friends Service Committee are sponsoring a 2-day educational/performance event: “What the (Bleep) Happened to Hip Hop?!"

What the (Bleep) Happened to Hip Hop?! is an educational campaign to address the corporatizing of culture in general and how corporate power has coopted our music, dance, and other arts and how to build a movement to end corporate rule.

Culture is a dynamic process that both reflects and creates consciousness, and it plays an important role in building a grassroots movement to amend the Constitution. The dominant culture is typically the culture of the ruling class, and when the ruling class is a corporate oligarchy commodifying the artistic products of We the People, culture becomes a vehicle for indoctrination reinforcing racist, sexist, and classist stereotypes in order to divide us into manageable social groups the ruling corporate elite can control.

Sat., Oct. 8: 7 p.m.: Hip Hop Artist Showcase & Open Mic - BSide Arcade & Lounge, 2785 Euclid Hts Blvd.
