Bringin’ It Back is a documentation of real hip hop. Deep down in Harlem’s Jackie Robinson Park, formerly known as The Dome, an evening scheduled to be a Biz Markie show turned into a ‘who is who’ of the first generation of hip hop. On August 8th 2007 Lovebug Starsky brought all those to the stage who laid out the foundation for what would later become the dominating musical subculture of western society. Well aware of the subculture’s current problems with profanity,misogynist bullshit and violence, people like Busy Bee were sure to point out to the crowd that women are not “bitches and hoes” but queens who deserve every respect possible. He went on to say that hip hop in general is about peace and unity and not about shooting each other. Therefore, he drew a clear line between old school hip hop and today’s rap scene. Nevertheless the night ended with an outreach to younger generations by having Doug E. Fresh son’s outfit Square Off kicking out a jam before “The World’s Geatest Entertainer” himself unexpectedly closed the night with one of his legendary human beat box joints. Performers include but are not limited to: Biz Markie, Kurtis Blow, Melle Mel, Kool Herc, Grandmaster Kaz, Crash Crew, Lovebug Starsky, Busy Bee, Square Off, Doug E. Fresh.
