Scribble Jam 12 Review
May 10th 2007 01:48
To followers of hip hop culture, Scribble Jam should not be a new name to your ears.
A yearly festival held with major competitions in Bboying (Breakdance), Turntablism, Emceeing and Grafitti pieces all over the walls, Scribble Jam has worldwide acclaim as one of the best hip hop events of the world, and we got hooked up with a DVD of the latest incarnation, Scribble Jam 12. I'll section this off in all the little "foundations of hip hop", if you will.
Breaking
The bboys showing up at scribble jam 12 were mean. Kept coming vicious and had plenty of team tactics. My only issue is that they cut music over what the guys were originally breaking to, but the music still suits the mood and matches up with the moves quite well. Watching a bunch of dudes telling gravity to F*** off because they feel like dancing is *always* fun.
Grafitti
Man. If people over here could graf like this, the government would think twice about making it illegal. I'm telling you, some high quality street artists got together and made some beautiful music...er... artwork. One look at this and you'll want to take up a spray can and make your own pieces... of course, I don't condone vandalism of public property...
Turntablism
The things these guys can do by mixing together different songs all live in front of the audience. It's nuts how quick these guys are on the wheels of steel. Can't really get into much detail without getting technical, so just take a look at the vinyl fly.
Emceeing
Now, this was a particular highlight of this comp for us here, probably the main reason i was hooked up with this anyway, was that in this years Scribble Jam, for the first time ever, was won by an Australian Emcee, who goes by the name of Justice, from Melbourne.
Watch and figure out how many Australian jokes there are. But he comes away with it and almost every battle will have punchlines to make you laugh or cheer, regardless of who's being made fun of.
If you've been following Scribble jam for a few years it might not be as surprising, but it's still solid material
and entertaining to watch. If This is your first exposure to a scribble Jam show then you'll definitely be entertained
go grab some of the other ones while you're at it.
