SPEAKERS CORNER/END OF THE WEAK MC CHALLENGE 2ND HEAT.
Posted by Jen on 30.06.2008, 18:26
Sometimes it doesn’t really register with people that we do in fact have a strong Hip Hop culture here in the UK. It is fully developed & mature.
Our MCs can stand up lyrically with the world’s finest spoken word artists. We have a long history of DJ, Bboy & Beatbox Champions. We have some of the world’s leading Graffiti artist coming from our shores. UK Hip Hop sections can be found in record shops all across Europe. Even the industry here are starting to catch on (and they are always the last to know)
Proving the point. Here we are. End Of The Weak International MC Champion title holders! In our first season of the worlds leading International MC Challenge the UK takes home the trophy! Thanks to UK Champion season one Stig Of The Dump http://www.myspace.com/stigdastardly
Was he a fluke? I don’t think so people. We don’t need fools like Simon Cowell to tell us that Britain has talent!! Its obvious, we showcased it monthly for years at Speakers Corner and never showed any signs of struggling to fill our stage with inspirational artists.
Now we are half way through the second season of the international EOW MC Challenge UK Heats. We have two champions for our final already in the bag, two more to come. NEXT HEAT JULY 3RD @ Rhythm Factory!! Competition is already tough. We have full footage of the first two heats up already including all the rounds & guest acts plus some bonus footage, podcast & free LP downloads.
Being International Championship title holders means for EOW:UK this season (our second season) that we hold host to the International MC Challenge of Champions & International showcase this coming October. We will have Champions coming over from the USA, Germany, Spain, France, Brazil, Argentina and Ireland!! We will also have guests from Africa, Australia, Japan, China and Iran, plus headlining artists DJ Premier, Jedi Mind Tricks and Big Daddy Kane!! Legends in the game!! And what will be the first ever truly international Hip Hop showcase and conference in Hip Hop history!!
This is where you come in. We need your support at a local level to spread the word about the tournament. We are proud of our position in this challenge and are preparing to welcome the Hip Hop world into our capital city. We want you to be proud too.
Spread the word about it to anybody you feel would be interested.. invite your friends on FaceFuck. Lets give the UK artist and art form the attention it deserves. We are in the midst of a renaissance; this season’s EOW has the capability to act as a catalyst. Invite your family. These events are like no other; the challenge itself is entertaining regardless of being Hip Hop based and enjoyable for all. The Speakers Corner Quartet provide live backing for all events adding an extra energy that will wow even the most Hip-Hop-ophobic amongst us!! No bad vibes, a charismatic host with a sense of humor, inspirational live acts, art exhibitions, stalls and more…
Its all happening now!!
