"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

That left some would-be Burners stranded in the non-desert, unable to participate in an experience that many have come to view as essential. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgj.com/article/20111124/EVENTS04/111250366/Registration-pre-sale-Burning-Man-tickets-opens-Monday\">registration period for the new lottery system for buying tickets\u003c/a> opens. But \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2011/11/burning_man_lottery_ticketing.php\">not everyone is happy\u003c/a> about the new rules. Last week I asked \u003cstrong>Andie Grace, communications manager for Burning Man\u003c/strong>, which is based in San Francisco (and indeed \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/bm_timeline.html#1986\">started on Baker Beach\u003c/a>), to explain the new policy and to address some of the concerns expressed by those in the Burning Man community. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An edited transcript of our conversation... \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So explain the new ticket policy\u003c/strong>...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the main sale, there will be a random selection process that people enter into for their chance to purchase tickets. There are four different ways that people can access tickets. We're doing a pre-sale before the holidays, which is also via random selection; a main sale in January during which we'll sell 40,000 tickets at 3 different tiers via random selection; and then finally an open sale in March of anything that remains after that random selection round. Then there's also a low-income process that will be announced after the main sale. That's a hand-reviewed application process for folks who need to pay below face value. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It used to be first-come, first-serve. What prompted the change? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We had an annual experience of a whole lot of people trying to get their tickets on the first day, trying to gain access to those lower tiers. Last year was the first year we actually reached capacity and had to cut off ticket sales. That was coupled with the first-day buying experience of so many people trying to get at the tickets that it tended to bum-rush the servers and make for long wait times. This new process will spread out the same number of people having the same access to the same number of tickets over the course of two weeks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some of the concerns I've read about the new policy: People are worried they won't be able to get tickets for all the members of their party, or the system will exclude those who have helped build the event over many years.\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same number of people will have access to the same number of tickets they need. A camp that has four people in it will have a pretty good chance of getting four tickets if they enter into the random selection in January. We don't believe that demand outstrips supply by all that much; this is just a more organized way to approach the sale of the tickets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some people are concerned about ticket scalping that's cropped up. Can you talk about that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We didn't do this to eliminate scalping. We have some things under the hood to help attend to that. But with this new system, we are at the same risk as before of being flooded by scalpers. One thing we're doing this year is running an after-market ourselves. So if you have a ticket you decide you don't need, you can sell it centrally on the Burning Man web site. This will help to keep the secondary market right under our noses, and you'll be able to see who's buying and selling tickets. Selling over face value is hugely frowned upon in our community. I don't know who is buying these over-value tickets; we don't have a lot of data on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year we saw instances of ticket scalping here and there on Craigslist or eBay. But our folks don't tend to be willing to pay that much more to go in. We heard a lot of feedback about the ticket sales last year but I didn't hear a lot of people saying I had to pay X much over face value. I think it's a big perceived problem in people's minds, because you don’t want to think someone who is a tourist or someone who is unscrupulous bought a ticket and sold it over face value and you missed your chance because of that. But we don't have data that says it's a super-widespread issue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nOn the larger issue of how popular Burning Man has become, what plans are there if any to try to accommodate increased demand? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've grown by a small percentage each year for a long time. (Note: You can track the growth in attendance each year in this Burning Man \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/bm_timeline.html\">timeline\u003c/a>.) But last year something tipped and we hit the level that we were required to stay within by the Bureau of Land Management. (Note: BLM issues the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/wfo/blm_information/newsroom/2011/march/2011_burning_man_permit.html\">Special Recreation Permit\u003c/a> for the festival to take place.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year we need to operate within that same framework in terms of number of people. We have asked them for our next round of permits to go back to a model where we can grow a little. But there's the question of how socially responsible it is to grow too fast. We don't advertise the event, we prefer to grow by word of mouth, and people tend to go home and get really enthusiastic and bring a friend. That's the growth we see. But we're not proactive about trying to make the event bigger. We like the event the way it is, growing organically. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think the spirit of the event has held throughout, considering all the growth you've experienced?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning Man certainly has changed, but all good things change. It's a week out of the year that we have a chance o try to get this grand experiment of building a city together right, and every year that there are more people there's that much more creativity and new ideas infused. If it was a private party for the same people every year, it would get pretty stale pretty quick. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most fun is when we bring someone new and see them get to experience it for the first time. One of our principles is radical inclusion, so we welcome anyone who wants to participate. We just have to figure out how to do that within a responsible framework for the impact of the event and the space we've chosen to hold it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else you want to say about the new ticket policy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We sat and talked to a lot of people over 12 weeks or more on how to solve issues we're faced with. We're using this system because we think it will get the most number of people the tickets they want in the time frame they want. I think it's going to work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After I talked to Andie Grace, I got put in touch with some longtime Burners, who weighed in on the new ticket policy. Here's what they have to say: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I hope this is a trial run. I hope everyone is paying close attention to how it plays out, what 'crowd' is able to get to Burning Man with these new policies in place, and how it affects the event. This doesn't seem to be a system designed for artist/explorer/hippie-type people who may not necessarily have credit cards or funds available when they're needed. And logistically....if everyone is not 'guaranteed' they can go, then how does a theme camp ensure all its paid/participating members will be able to go at all? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or artists who are creating the temple or other projects that require large numbers of people to help, how can they ensure they will get in? I'm assuming in the spirit of transparency those people are not being offered special access to tickets, are they? Kind of like congress giving themselves their own special health care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just sayin'.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Michael Babel\u003cbr>\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an entrepreneur, I can appreciate why they are doing this. As a living-below-poverty-level artist (making my living conservatively 90%+ through the burning man community) with no credit, this new system blows and IMO, discriminates against people like me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Isa \"Glittergirl\" Isaacs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from Isa \"Glittergirl\" Isaacs' blog post, \u003ca href=\"http://poipriestess.com/2011/11/why-the-new-burning-man-ticketing-process-sucks-for-me/\">Why the New Burning Man Ticketing Process Sucks for Me!\u003c/a>: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(T)his system really is not great for anyone poor or struggling with money. Here’s why you may never see me able to support this event while my fiscal position is as someone living below poverty level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the new system, you have to submit your credit card information at the time of the ticket lottery registration process. At that time, you have to give them a credit card that will have the funds on it to charge your tickets several weeks later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re like me, and you struggle with money on a regular basis, the challenges are multifold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, this is at the very least, way more of a hassle if you don’t have a credit card. I’d go so far as to say the system discriminates in favor of those with credit cards — yes, ha! – Burning Man is now modeling the banking system — the rich get richer and the poor get screwed. 😉\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ok — maybe that’s harsh… and at the same time, Burning Man has made a strategic decision that really does favor those with credit cards and really does make way more work for anyone without.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning Man does have a solution for you though. They suggest you buy a pre-loaded debit card with the total amount you need on it so you can set that aside and gurantee you have the funds. Seems like a reasonable idea to some degree, right? Aside from the obvious pain in the ass and extra work you have to do if you don’t have a credit card at least...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[But] because this is a lottery system, if I’m only willing to pay up to $320 which is the new mid tier price (or not go), I’m not actually sure I can use this lottery system to buy me and my partner a ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, best-case scenario is I put enough money on the pre-loaded card for the two lowest priced tickets, I win the $240 lottery and then they charge the card and it works. Yah!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I’m willing to pay up to $320 each (which I see the value of though I lack the funds to do), I still have to tie up all that money. As someone struggling to make rent, this means I have to tie the money up in the card from the registration date until I’m notified at some point a few weeks later. I’m not even sure I want to pay that much to go to Burning Man and now I have to make that decision and be prepared to shell out the funds in about 8 weeks — when the holidays are coming up, I’m traveling and funds are the tightest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on top of that, I have to know the exact amount of the ticket prices plus all charges/fees (which, to date, I have not yet seen, though Burning Man may get it together and publish that also). They said if your card is declined, the ticket goes to someone else. So don’t screw that up and get the wrong amount on your pre-loaded debit card...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, while I’m bitching up a storm: I think it’s incredibly lame that Burning Man has put out information about this system and all I can find about the soon-to-be-revamped-and-combined-program for low income and scholarship tickets is that it will be revamped. That does not allow me to make an informed decision at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you’re pretty much screwed if you want to start working beginning of the year on a theme camp and you’re poor because, hey, committing may be useless since Burning Man, the alleged to be radically inclusive event, has now decided to discriminate against the poor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what's important to remember about Burning Man is that the event itself is a celebration of an ethos. The culture that has grown up around it that has percolated into many of our daily lives is the\u003cbr>\nimportant thing. Having said that, I like to be on the inside of the velvet rope as much as anyone. But being at Burning Man, how one finds oneself there each year is never that straightforward. The\u003cbr>\nlottery just randomizes the process a bit, which may be good. For now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Dean Mermell\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nWhen I read it I found my heart sinking, as it seems there is a real possibility I could go through all the correct motions in a timely way and still not get a ticket - very weird. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to plan with my friends in a timely way - knowing one of us might not get a ticket?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seems to me that the BM organization, which prides itself for its tech-savvy ways is being very lazy and uncreative. That they cannot solve last year's call-in computer disaster and punishing people who for years have marked their calendars and called in literally from around the world on the opening ticket day (I have called in twice myself from Europe) seems strange. And that my loyal steadfast efforts are NOT being considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From my reading of the BM organization's point of view, they seem to think it will all work out, and that all their loyal participants will get tickets and if not, who cares they can go on the last-minute hunt for tickets, or well, who needs them, as they have plenty of folks anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found myself thinking of boycotting the Burn - except for my friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Jessica Britt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nSeems like since the first tickets that will be sold are the most expensive, then less people will be in the first lottery and therefore, richer people have greater chance of getting tickets. This is not inclusive, this is exclusive. BTW, I can afford the first lottery, I just don't think it's right. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Deb\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

But with this new system, we are at the same risk as before of being flooded by scalpers. One thing we're doing this year is running an after-market ourselves. So if you have a ticket you decide you don't need, you can sell it centrally on the Burning Man web site. This will help to keep the secondary market right under our noses, and you'll be able to see who's buying and selling tickets. Selling over face value is hugely frowned upon in our community. I don't know who is buying these over-value tickets; we don't have a lot of data on it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year we saw instances of ticket scalping here and there on Craigslist or eBay. But our folks don't tend to be willing to pay that much more to go in. We heard a lot of feedback about the ticket sales last year but I didn't hear a lot of people saying I had to pay X much over face value. I think it's a big perceived problem in people's minds, because you don’t want to think someone who is a tourist or someone who is unscrupulous bought a ticket and sold it over face value and you missed your chance because of that. But we don't have data that says it's a super-widespread issue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nOn the larger issue of how popular Burning Man has become, what plans are there if any to try to accommodate increased demand? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've grown by a small percentage each year for a long time. (Note: You can track the growth in attendance each year in this Burning Man \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/bm_timeline.html\">timeline\u003c/a>.) But last year something tipped and we hit the level that we were required to stay within by the Bureau of Land Management. (Note: BLM issues the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/wfo/blm_information/newsroom/2011/march/2011_burning_man_permit.html\">Special Recreation Permit\u003c/a> for the festival to take place.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year we need to operate within that same framework in terms of number of people. We have asked them for our next round of permits to go back to a model where we can grow a little. But there's the question of how socially responsible it is to grow too fast. We don't advertise the event, we prefer to grow by word of mouth, and people tend to go home and get really enthusiastic and bring a friend. That's the growth we see. But we're not proactive about trying to make the event bigger. We like the event the way it is, growing organically. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think the spirit of the event has held throughout, considering all the growth you've experienced?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning Man certainly has changed, but all good things change. It's a week out of the year that we have a chance o try to get this grand experiment of building a city together right, and every year that there are more people there's that much more creativity and new ideas infused. If it was a private party for the same people every year, it would get pretty stale pretty quick. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most fun is when we bring someone new and see them get to experience it for the first time. One of our principles is radical inclusion, so we welcome anyone who wants to participate. We just have to figure out how to do that within a responsible framework for the impact of the event and the space we've chosen to hold it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anything else you want to say about the new ticket policy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We sat and talked to a lot of people over 12 weeks or more on how to solve issues we're faced with. We're using this system because we think it will get the most number of people the tickets they want in the time frame they want. I think it's going to work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here's what they have to say: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I hope this is a trial run. I hope everyone is paying close attention to how it plays out, what 'crowd' is able to get to Burning Man with these new policies in place, and how it affects the event. This doesn't seem to be a system designed for artist/explorer/hippie-type people who may not necessarily have credit cards or funds available when they're needed. And logistically....if everyone is not 'guaranteed' they can go, then how does a theme camp ensure all its paid/participating members will be able to go at all? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or artists who are creating the temple or other projects that require large numbers of people to help, how can they ensure they will get in? I'm assuming in the spirit of transparency those people are not being offered special access to tickets, are they? Kind of like congress giving themselves their own special health care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just sayin'.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Michael Babel\u003cbr>\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an entrepreneur, I can appreciate why they are doing this. As a living-below-poverty-level artist (making my living conservatively 90%+ through the burning man community) with no credit, this new system blows and IMO, discriminates against people like me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Isa \"Glittergirl\" Isaacs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from Isa \"Glittergirl\" Isaacs' blog post, \u003ca href=\"http://poipriestess.com/2011/11/why-the-new-burning-man-ticketing-process-sucks-for-me/\">Why the New Burning Man Ticketing Process Sucks for Me!\u003c/a>: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(T)his system really is not great for anyone poor or struggling with money. Here’s why you may never see me able to support this event while my fiscal position is as someone living below poverty level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the new system, you have to submit your credit card information at the time of the ticket lottery registration process. At that time, you have to give them a credit card that will have the funds on it to charge your tickets several weeks later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re like me, and you struggle with money on a regular basis, the challenges are multifold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, this is at the very least, way more of a hassle if you don’t have a credit card. I’d go so far as to say the system discriminates in favor of those with credit cards — yes, ha! – Burning Man is now modeling the banking system — the rich get richer and the poor get screwed. 😉\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ok — maybe that’s harsh… and at the same time, Burning Man has made a strategic decision that really does favor those with credit cards and really does make way more work for anyone without.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning Man does have a solution for you though. They suggest you buy a pre-loaded debit card with the total amount you need on it so you can set that aside and gurantee you have the funds. Seems like a reasonable idea to some degree, right? Aside from the obvious pain in the ass and extra work you have to do if you don’t have a credit card at least...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[But] because this is a lottery system, if I’m only willing to pay up to $320 which is the new mid tier price (or not go), I’m not actually sure I can use this lottery system to buy me and my partner a ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, best-case scenario is I put enough money on the pre-loaded card for the two lowest priced tickets, I win the $240 lottery and then they charge the card and it works. Yah!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I’m willing to pay up to $320 each (which I see the value of though I lack the funds to do), I still have to tie up all that money. As someone struggling to make rent, this means I have to tie the money up in the card from the registration date until I’m notified at some point a few weeks later. I’m not even sure I want to pay that much to go to Burning Man and now I have to make that decision and be prepared to shell out the funds in about 8 weeks — when the holidays are coming up, I’m traveling and funds are the tightest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, on top of that, I have to know the exact amount of the ticket prices plus all charges/fees (which, to date, I have not yet seen, though Burning Man may get it together and publish that also). They said if your card is declined, the ticket goes to someone else. So don’t screw that up and get the wrong amount on your pre-loaded debit card...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, while I’m bitching up a storm: I think it’s incredibly lame that Burning Man has put out information about this system and all I can find about the soon-to-be-revamped-and-combined-program for low income and scholarship tickets is that it will be revamped. That does not allow me to make an informed decision at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you’re pretty much screwed if you want to start working beginning of the year on a theme camp and you’re poor because, hey, committing may be useless since Burning Man, the alleged to be radically inclusive event, has now decided to discriminate against the poor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what's important to remember about Burning Man is that the event itself is a celebration of an ethos. The culture that has grown up around it that has percolated into many of our daily lives is the\u003cbr>\nimportant thing. Having said that, I like to be on the inside of the velvet rope as much as anyone. But being at Burning Man, how one finds oneself there each year is never that straightforward. The\u003cbr>\nlottery just randomizes the process a bit, which may be good. For now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Dean Mermell\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nWhen I read it I found my heart sinking, as it seems there is a real possibility I could go through all the correct motions in a timely way and still not get a ticket - very weird. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How to plan with my friends in a timely way - knowing one of us might not get a ticket?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seems to me that the BM organization, which prides itself for its tech-savvy ways is being very lazy and uncreative. That they cannot solve last year's call-in computer disaster and punishing people who for years have marked their calendars and called in literally from around the world on the opening ticket day (I have called in twice myself from Europe) seems strange. And that my loyal steadfast efforts are NOT being considered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From my reading of the BM organization's point of view, they seem to think it will all work out, and that all their loyal participants will get tickets and if not, who cares they can go on the last-minute hunt for tickets, or well, who needs them, as they have plenty of folks anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found myself thinking of boycotting the Burn - except for my friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Jessica Britt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\nSeems like since the first tickets that will be sold are the most expensive, then less people will be in the first lottery and therefore, richer people have greater chance of getting tickets. This is not inclusive, this is exclusive. BTW, I can afford the first lottery, I just don't think it's right. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Deb\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

When you talk to people who are knowledgeable about cultural movements, they’ll talk about the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=west+coast+pop+loc\">West Coast Pop Lock\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nARH47swTMk\">Boogaloo\u003c/a> scenes, which were active in the ’60s, several years before \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=cool+herc\">Kool Herc\u003c/a> had his first hip hop party in New York, in 1973.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/nARH47swTMk\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you talk about the origins of hip hop, the New York creation story is a popular myth, but that’s only because the Bay Area story hasn’t really been told. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>That sounds very controversial…\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only to people in New York. But I got that from \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otCpCn0l4Wo\">MC Hammer\u003c/a>, who told me he was at Fremont High School in 1965 when the robot was invented. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same cultural elements that make up hip hop were present in the Bay Area. Hip hop is definitely a term that came out of New York in the early-to-mid 70s. But hip hop itself is comprised of several elements. You have the movement element, dancing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=beboying\">B-boying\u003c/a> or break dancing, and also pop locking. You have the rapping element – people were definitely rapping on the west coast way back. You have the oral tradition, the street rap. You have the art aspect of it, the graffiti element. The Chicano-style lettering goes back to the ’30s in L.A. And then you have the deejaying element. There are mobile deejay crews dating back to the late 50s and early 60s in South San Francisco and places like that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So virtually every element that can be associated with hip hop is also associated with Bay Area hip hop. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a lot of times people will say \u003ca href=\"http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2010/07/jamoeblog/hip-hop-history-oakland-rap-s-early-years.html\">Motorcycle Mike\u003c/a> from Richmond and \u003ca href=\"http://www.riotsound.com/hip-hop/rap/interviews/Too-Short/index.php\">Too Short\u003c/a> from Oakland, were the origins of Bay Area hip hop, the first people to put out rap music in the early 80s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about some other Oakland rappers that have broken through into popular consciousness. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=digital+underground\">Digital Underground\u003c/a>/\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=digital+underground\">Humpty Hump\u003c/a>. And of course probably the biggest Oakland rapper who has broken through into pop culture history is also the biggest rapper in pop culture history: \u003ca href=\"http://www.2pac.com/homepage/\">Tupac\u003c/a>. He was born in New York, raised in Baltimore, and came out to the Bay Area. He spent some time in Marin City then came to Oakland before going to L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Tupac, there’s the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=hieroglyphics+crew\">Hieroglyphics\u003c/a> crew, the \u003ca href=\"http://delthefunkyhomosapien.hifidev.com/\">Del the Funky Homosapien\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casual_%28rapper%29\">Casual\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=souls+of+mischief\">Souls of Mischief\u003c/a>; all those guys are pretty well known and have pretty much established a benchmark for lyrical underground hip hop. And they’re still doing it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how is the Oakland scene distinguishable from what’s going on commercially and also from what’s going on in other cities?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one time we had a lot of people signed to major labels but that all changed in the mid-to-late 90s. So our scene has been pretty much underground, although it’s also been a scene that’s been dominated by independent labels. That’s been interesting because you also have a history of community, social activism, and sometimes political activism in the Bay Area, and that’s definitely had an impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when you talk about the hip hop scene, you’re not just talking about rappers and rap music and their relation to what’s happening commercially. You’re also talking about the graffiti scene. The piece I wrote that was recognized by the SPJ was about a \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/article/oakland-art-gallery-presents-world-class-graffiti-art-show-workshops-more-preview\">visual art exhibit on aerosol writing\u003c/a>, which also has a huge history in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well some people call it graffiti. There’s a lot of controversy among writers over that term, a lot of people don’t like using it. But to laypeople it’s definitely known as graffiti. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a really \u003ca href=\"http://m.oaklandlocal.com/node/10342\">landmark exhibit on aerosol\u003c/a> at the Joyce Gordon gallery earlier. It brought original Bay Area writers together but also some of the original New York writers, who started off the graffiti thing, way before it became popularized and commercialized. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about the intersection of Oakland hip hop and politics.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the same people who are creators and movers and shakers in the hip hop world in Oakland are also sons and daughters of activists. When your parents are Black Panthers, as was the case with Tupac, you’re going to have a very politically evolved worldview, and that’s going to come across in your music. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was just at the Occupy Oakland demonstration and you had \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=david+hilliard\">David Hilliard\u003c/a> speaking, the former chief of staff of the Black Panthers, followed by three local hip hop groups. So even if the music isn’t always political, I think there’s a direct connection. A lot of what the Panthers did is raise the social awareness and social consciousness of people. And that’s definitely translated into the music, into the art, into just how people organize and how they think about the culture in Oakland. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=conscious+hip+hop\">conscious hip hop\u003c/a> and the Oakland scene.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conscious hip hop is hip hop that is mindful of having respect for people. You won’t find a lot of misogyny, little to no use of the N word. People will talk about things other than dances they do, people they’re sleeping with, and all the trite things you might find in top-40 rap these days. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conscious hip hop is part of the Oakland scene, but you have to be careful, because there’s also a lot of turf rap produced in Oakland, from the most violent hot spots in the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that also comes out of Oakland. It’s not generally defined as conscious rap, although it can be very aware, because it’s really the product of its environment and talks about what’s going on in those environments. This music is the soundtrack to the hardcore inner city that we’re told not to go to, where all the bad headlines about Oakland are generated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you also have people who have ideologies that are more developed. Like AshEl/\u003ca href=\"http://seasunz-and-jbless.bandcamp.com/\">Seasunz\u003c/a>, who did this \u003ca href=\"http://www.earthamplified.com/\">Earth Amplified\u003c/a> record, which is eco-sustainable hip hop. And \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=dj+twelvs+oakland&pbx=1&oq=dj+twelvs\">DJ Twelvs\u003c/a> who works at the \u003ca href=\"http://unitedrootsoakland.org/\">United Roots\u003c/a> center, who just ran this hip hop camp that offered free training for kids. So I would definitely say there’s a strong conscious rap undercurrent in the Bay Area and Oakland. I don’t know that’ it’s ever been the dominant sound but it’s always been there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland scene is incredibly diverse. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So if I wanted to familiarize myself with the Oakland scene, where’s a good place to start?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Go down to Oaklandish on Broadway and check out the flyers they have, check out\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/article/oaklandish-open-store-broadway\">The Layover\u003c/a> on 15th and Franklin, swing by \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/article/oaklandish-open-store-broadway\">Disco Volante\u003c/a>. There’ s a lot of stuff happening in the downtown and uptown area. \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/era-art-bar-and-lounge-oakland\">SomaR Bar\u003c/a>/ \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/era-art-bar-and-lounge-oakland\">Era\u003c/a>. It’s just a matter of connecting with the scene. \u003c/p>\n\n",

When you talk to people who are knowledgeable about cultural movements, they’ll talk about the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=west+coast+pop+loc\">West Coast Pop Lock\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nARH47swTMk\">Boogaloo\u003c/a> scenes, which were active in the ’60s, several years before \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=cool+herc\">Kool Herc\u003c/a> had his first hip hop party in New York, in 1973.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But I got that from \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otCpCn0l4Wo\">MC Hammer\u003c/a>, who told me he was at Fremont High School in 1965 when the robot was invented. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same cultural elements that make up hip hop were present in the Bay Area. Hip hop is definitely a term that came out of New York in the early-to-mid 70s. But hip hop itself is comprised of several elements. You have the movement element, dancing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=beboying\">B-boying\u003c/a> or break dancing, and also pop locking. You have the rapping element – people were definitely rapping on the west coast way back. You have the oral tradition, the street rap. You have the art aspect of it, the graffiti element. The Chicano-style lettering goes back to the ’30s in L.A. And then you have the deejaying element. There are mobile deejay crews dating back to the late 50s and early 60s in South San Francisco and places like that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So virtually every element that can be associated with hip hop is also associated with Bay Area hip hop. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a lot of times people will say \u003ca href=\"http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2010/07/jamoeblog/hip-hop-history-oakland-rap-s-early-years.html\">Motorcycle Mike\u003c/a> from Richmond and \u003ca href=\"http://www.riotsound.com/hip-hop/rap/interviews/Too-Short/index.php\">Too Short\u003c/a> from Oakland, were the origins of Bay Area hip hop, the first people to put out rap music in the early 80s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about some other Oakland rappers that have broken through into popular consciousness. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=digital+underground\">Digital Underground\u003c/a>/\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=digital+underground\">Humpty Hump\u003c/a>. And of course probably the biggest Oakland rapper who has broken through into pop culture history is also the biggest rapper in pop culture history: \u003ca href=\"http://www.2pac.com/homepage/\">Tupac\u003c/a>. He was born in New York, raised in Baltimore, and came out to the Bay Area. He spent some time in Marin City then came to Oakland before going to L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Tupac, there’s the \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=hieroglyphics+crew\">Hieroglyphics\u003c/a> crew, the \u003ca href=\"http://delthefunkyhomosapien.hifidev.com/\">Del the Funky Homosapien\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casual_%28rapper%29\">Casual\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=souls+of+mischief\">Souls of Mischief\u003c/a>; all those guys are pretty well known and have pretty much established a benchmark for lyrical underground hip hop. And they’re still doing it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how is the Oakland scene distinguishable from what’s going on commercially and also from what’s going on in other cities?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one time we had a lot of people signed to major labels but that all changed in the mid-to-late 90s. So our scene has been pretty much underground, although it’s also been a scene that’s been dominated by independent labels. That’s been interesting because you also have a history of community, social activism, and sometimes political activism in the Bay Area, and that’s definitely had an impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when you talk about the hip hop scene, you’re not just talking about rappers and rap music and their relation to what’s happening commercially. You’re also talking about the graffiti scene. The piece I wrote that was recognized by the SPJ was about a \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandlocal.com/article/oakland-art-gallery-presents-world-class-graffiti-art-show-workshops-more-preview\">visual art exhibit on aerosol writing\u003c/a>, which also has a huge history in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well some people call it graffiti. There’s a lot of controversy among writers over that term, a lot of people don’t like using it. But to laypeople it’s definitely known as graffiti. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a really \u003ca href=\"http://m.oaklandlocal.com/node/10342\">landmark exhibit on aerosol\u003c/a> at the Joyce Gordon gallery earlier. It brought original Bay Area writers together but also some of the original New York writers, who started off the graffiti thing, way before it became popularized and commercialized. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about the intersection of Oakland hip hop and politics.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the same people who are creators and movers and shakers in the hip hop world in Oakland are also sons and daughters of activists. When your parents are Black Panthers, as was the case with Tupac, you’re going to have a very politically evolved worldview, and that’s going to come across in your music. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was just at the Occupy Oakland demonstration and you had \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=david+hilliard\">David Hilliard\u003c/a> speaking, the former chief of staff of the Black Panthers, followed by three local hip hop groups. So even if the music isn’t always political, I think there’s a direct connection. A lot of what the Panthers did is raise the social awareness and social consciousness of people. And that’s definitely translated into the music, into the art, into just how people organize and how they think about the culture in Oakland. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=conscious+hip+hop\">conscious hip hop\u003c/a> and the Oakland scene.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conscious hip hop is hip hop that is mindful of having respect for people. You won’t find a lot of misogyny, little to no use of the N word. People will talk about things other than dances they do, people they’re sleeping with, and all the trite things you might find in top-40 rap these days. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conscious hip hop is part of the Oakland scene, but you have to be careful, because there’s also a lot of turf rap produced in Oakland, from the most violent hot spots in the city. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that also comes out of Oakland. It’s not generally defined as conscious rap, although it can be very aware, because it’s really the product of its environment and talks about what’s going on in those environments. This music is the soundtrack to the hardcore inner city that we’re told not to go to, where all the bad headlines about Oakland are generated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you also have people who have ideologies that are more developed. Like AshEl/\u003ca href=\"http://seasunz-and-jbless.bandcamp.com/\">Seasunz\u003c/a>, who did this \u003ca href=\"http://www.earthamplified.com/\">Earth Amplified\u003c/a> record, which is eco-sustainable hip hop. And \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=dj+twelvs+oakland&pbx=1&oq=dj+twelvs\">DJ Twelvs\u003c/a> who works at the \u003ca href=\"http://unitedrootsoakland.org/\">United Roots\u003c/a> center, who just ran this hip hop camp that offered free training for kids. So I would definitely say there’s a strong conscious rap undercurrent in the Bay Area and Oakland. I don’t know that’ it’s ever been the dominant sound but it’s always been there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland scene is incredibly diverse. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So if I wanted to familiarize myself with the Oakland scene, where’s a good place to start?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
