Caprice- “necropolis” the death of the Bronx also known as the birth of hip hop, caprice was able to explain and divulge into the events that lead to the birth of hip hop by including the pioneers of hip hop like Dj kool herc and afrika bambaattaa. Very good job.
I really liked caprice’s presentation due to all the facts and information in the slides. Also, she was really calm and spoke clearly and made it really easy to understand all the facts she was talking about. Also , the visual aids in the slides helped visualize what was going on and how life was during this time period. She did a very good job and the slides were put together in a very good way.

You did an awesome job structuring your presentation and noting the key points surrounding the destruction of the South Bronx. I also liked how you incorporated Afrika Baambata’s first single, as well as a brief synopsis of who Robert Moses was. You presentation gave us a clear view of the demise of the South Bronx
I thought Caprice's Presentation was well put together there was much I didn’t know about what happened in the Bronx especially the whole bridge thing, the best part "Planet Rock".

Caprice - "Acropolis"
You had a clear understanding & comprehension of the factors which led to the origin of hip-hop culture. I enjoyed your interesting facts & perspective on the aftermath of Robert Moses' involvement in the development of urban NYC and the white flight at the end of the 60's and early 70's. You were concise as far as which historical period & loop of "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" you were covering. Very suitable presentation for the topic covered. It was very well organized & informative. Simply put, wonderful job.

capric's presentation
I think capric’s presentation today was really good, I thought she did a fantastic job showing us the keyplayers from her loop. She well organized on what she wanted to present to the class. I like the africa bambata music she presented to us. I liked the way her presentations begin by introducing us to dj kool herc. Overall her presentation was good.

Thank you everybody on the positive feedback on my presentation. My encouragement was Derek who did an awesome job on his, so I was able to put together mine. I didn't want to go into too much detail about Loop One because it didn't really pertain to Hip-Hop it just basically spoke upon the political and social issues of the South Bronx.
I have a real phobia about speaking in front of people but I was glad at the way that it turned out. Once again thank you and hopefully i will get an A. You know Mrs. Sabir is tough.

Once again Caprice, great job! I agree with all your classmates on the specifics of the presentation: historic background to the political climate that made hip hop possible. Like a steam cooker, the Bronx was just a symtom of social and economic neglect which continues in "urban" centers--read innercities--another code word for too many poor and/or black now brown and Indigenous people. If you remove the jobs, stop investing in the public educational centers, and this includes recreation centers and career opportunities--mentoring, etc., then the esteem drops along with housing stock and real estate value.
It is definitely relevant Caprice. Hip Hop is a response to this social malady. I don't know what music we'd have now if the Bronx wasn't set on fire...not to mention the Jamaican ghettos and other such locale in third world countries where hip hop became and still is the voice of the invisible ones.
