  How do UK Hip Hop and Urban Artists compare to that of the US?

  I dont really know about the current UK hip-hop scene but in the U.S. it is quite varied. There is what some consider hip-hop to be but is really just “ring-tone” b.s. this is the stuff that gets all the play on the radio and is really just recycled beats with poor lyrics about cars, guns, and money. I’m not saying its bad music, i’ll listen to it but its more mainstream and geared toward making money giving it less quality production. However, there is also a very talented section of hip-hop mostly still influenced by older rappers from the early nineties like talib kweli, mos def, blackalicious, and jurassic five. There are even further underground rappers like aesop rock, murs and immortal technique who have yet to sign with big labels. And then there are big names who still produce great hip-hop in my opinion like Nas, Jay-z, Camron, and early lil wayne stuff. Oh and cant forget wyclef who has been making amazing music since hes days with the fugees and Andree 3000 the greatest poet in hip-hop in my opinion, wish he would record another album.

  Whats your opinion on current impressionism and plein air art?

  uh thats its awesome… no but really impressionism was a truly revolutionary art form when first became popularized by monet, their plein air style was innovative, yet their true goals were their attempt in capturing the “fleeting moment” in time it was their “impression” of what they saw not an exact replica. I think what your professor was trying to imply was that any old lady can go and draw nice trees and a beach but the thought behind the work and the style with which you accomplish it is what matters. All the impressionists had their own interests and aims which guided their styles, look at the differences between Renoir, Monet, Pisarro, and even early Cezanne. Or even go back a decade or two and look at the artists that are not really impressionists but began the revolution against academic art like Courbet and Manet. I apologize for the long-winded response but as you can see I regard this art form as truly beautiful nd inspirational. Last tid bit… read some of the pieces by the art critics Emile Zola and Charles Baudelaire they capture the essence of impressionsim through their words and can describe much better than I the idea of the fleeting moment and creating art on your own terms and not those of the school.
