"jahi did a good job in presenting the elements, representing the culture and furthering the movement to portray a more complete view of this thing called hip hop!! we can no longer allow b.e.t, m.t.v., any other viacom owned buisness or other mainstream media outlets and corporations to dictate what hip hop is!! as one of the organizers of the hip hop generation conference in madison-wisconsin, which jahi recorded & used a good amount of footage from for this video, i completely agree with his title of "redefinitions"! he added some performance footage of himself, as well as a chapter titled "hip hop tutorial", which appears to be footage from a conference workshop, where jahi breaks down the question "what is hip hop?" overall, he shares some good information and produced an average video that's worth more for its content than financial power behind production...keep on keepin' on~"
