History of STL Hip Hop Conference

UM-St. Louis in the Millennium Student Center
Century Room A
12 pm to 3 pm


On Saturday, November 5th, 2005

veteran hip hop artists will discuss St. Louis' historical and present contributions to hip hop culture at UM-St. Louis in the Millennium Student Center, Century Room A, from 12 pm to 3 pm. Much is known about the early 1970s Bronx, New York origins of hip hop and significant additions made by west coast artists, such as NWA in the late 1980s. However, St. Louis did not receive national attention until Nelly broke out in the summer of 2000. Three panels of hip hop experts will talk about the early days of St. Louis Hip Hop that paved the way for today's rap artists. Also, the panels will offer views on the present and future of St. Louis Hip Hop. This event is free and open to the public.


Panelists include DJ Charlie Chan Soprano, D-EX (The Science, KDHX), Jay
Love (Queen of Beats), Mark Austin (Gateway City Breakers), Clifton Wade
(Spin City Records), DJ G-Wiz, and more. Those interested in popular music,
music history, and African-American culture should find this discussion
informative as well as captivating.
