I was there when rap and hip hop first arrived!

Let’s get down to the crux of this whole lecture. Brian actually said “I was there when rap and hip hop first arrived…. and people were saying what the fuck is this?”.  I knew he was G, everyone knew he was G we just didn’t want to point it out. I guess Brian just sits in his office listening to fresh New Zealand beats by Scribe and Savage. I mean that’s what I’d do….

Anyway, here are some other aspects of the lecture (I was unable to attend the full thing so some of the notes are from friends)……

– genre is not about form
– form is not the only thing determining that it is part of a genre
– reading is not about interpreting the inner thoughts of the author because we have no way of knowing what they are
– documentaries make statements or observations of reality, when the format is changed it becomes more of an interpretation than a subjective presentation
– it is about your own interpretations of the text!!
– Are interactive documentaries actual documentaries – YES! (different textual form)
– Old media is dead

Now I know there isn’t a lot of stuff. But I’m going to leave you with some scribe and savage, peace out Brian.
