Search - Dr. Cornel West :: Street Knowledge

Rhythm and blues with a hip-hop flavor all wrapped up with dance tracks and strong hooks, " Street Knowledge " most definitely merits the label of "strong, contemporary musical release". However, that's not where the integrity of this project ends. Over, under, through and around the music is woven an astounding collection of topics, teachings, musings, anthems and lyrics that challenges anyone listening to remain unaffected. Presented in the impelling voices of Cornel West, Tavis Smiley, Michael Eric Dyson, Dr. Marcia Dyson, Derek "DOA" Allen, Killa Mike and others, the entertainment, education and thought-provoking impact of " Street Knowledge " is infectious, contagious and addictive. The entire body of this work crosses demographic lines indiscriminately. It reaches youth without alienating the mature among us. It teaches other cultures without a belaboring of issues for those with personal knowledge. " Street Knowledge " makes one dance, sing, laugh, think, meditate and look at new ways of taking responsibility. This 2-CD set is the new face of educational entertainment. At the risk of sounding like a breakfast cereal, it feels so good you hardly notice that it's good for you.
