Note: 61’s hiphop-klub har udgivet sin første cd med kunstnere, der siden 2008 har stået på scenen til Rap’n’Skralde-arrangementerne i Ungdomshuset. Rhythm and Politics R.A.P. – The Revolution er titlen. Og den lever op til sit navn. Udgivelsen indeholder både systemkritik, opråb og revolutionære idéer. Men også et ønske om at vise, at hiphop er mere og andet end bare bling bling og kællinger.

Simon Behrmann: From revolution to irrelevance: how classical music lost its audience
International Socialism Journal nr. 121, jan 09 – side 121
Note: For the best part of 50 years it has been common to ask whether “classical” music is dead/dying. More than classical theatre, literature or art, classical music seems more and more to be the preserve of a tiny elite. Are we in danger of losing a living tradition of music that stretches back several hundred years?

Brian Richardson: Comment: James Brown – Doing it to Death
Socialist Review nr. 313, jan 07 – side 31

Dave McNally: EP Thompson: class struggle and historical materialism

Henrik Friis Madsen: Hip-hop musikken – oprør eller medieflop?
International Socialisme nr. 5, jun 93 – side 30
Note: Hip-hop-musikken og rapmusikken, som er en del af denne, er skyllet som en bølge ud over verden i de sidste 10 år, og har fortrinsvis indtaget storbyerne. Genren er blevet kaldt den vigtigste musiske og ungdomskulturelle strømning siden rock'n'roll'en. Men hvad mange ikke ved er, at hip-hop-musikken stikker langt dybere end blot ekstra-large tøj, slang, smarte rytmer, rappen til ghettoblasteren og dans på gadehjørner.
