TALENT AND DEDICATION

Much like the greatest sport on earth, soccer, Hip Hop is dominated very much so by a few different cities and one country in particular which is the United States. In terms of soccer, the worlds game is currently in a vice grip by the Iberian nation of Spain. They have won two consecutive European Championships and one World Cup. Their dominance has no sight in end, and even extends to the club game in the form of Real Madrid and specifically Barcelona. When you look at the Hip Hop scene it is dominated by the US, with the major markets of California and New York providing large bodies of work for the masses. Every now and then though, in music and sport alike, a small minnow pops up and shocks the world. In 2004 it was Greece at the Euro's and currently in the Hip Hop world, i feel that title goes to David Dallas. He's a rapper that hails from New Zealand... yes NZ, but he spits like a b-boy from Brooklyn. His style is so original and would surprise the most devout Hip Hop head. I plan on attending his show tonight in Towson, MD and i just want to remind people that talent has no boundaries. Even if you hail from an unfashionable location where your trade is not heavily plied, never give up. The cream always rises to the top.

Enjoy my friends... and now back to the soccer :)
