Even after hours, hip-hop lives on with Talib Kweli

Editor,

Just to let people know, Talib Kweli, after initially leaving when Sunshine Theater security would not permit breakdancers from the audience on the stage, came out again after your reporter probably left.

After SpeedOne, a local promoter and a seemingly chill and informed guy, worked things out with security, he said that since people decided to stick around, it was proper to throw an afterparty. It lasted about half an hour and consisted of freestyles and antics over classic songs from the past few decades.

This is another reason showing Kweli understands hip-hop is a culture, not just a way to make money. Also, people should stay until the end of shows to show support, no matter what goes down. Everyone should go see live music.
