Famed Rapper and Activist Chuck D Speaks About the Challenges and
Opportunities Facing Online Artists in the World of Digital Music
WHAT: "BayFF" at UC Hastings - Challenges and Opportunities Facing Online
Artists in the World of Digital Music
WHO: Chuck D, Electronic Frontier Foundation, UC Hastings
WHEN: Friday, April 6th, 2001 at 7PM PST
WHERE: University of California
Hastings College of the Law
198 McAllister Street
San Francisco, CA. 94012
Room: The Louis B. Mayer Lounge (LBML)
The building is on the northeast corner of the Hyde and
McAllister intersection. Parking is available at the Civic
Center parking lot by city hall.
This event is free and open to the general public. Food and beverages will
be served.
Famed rapper and outspoken activist Chuck D, formally of Public Enemy, will
keynote April's BayFF as part of the Electronic Frontier Foundation's
Campaign for Audio-Visual Free Expression (CAFE). CAFE works to protect
freedom of expression by empowering the creative community in cyberspace.
Chuck D will address these issues directly, speaking on "The Challenges and
Opportunities Facing Online Artists."
As leader and co-founder of legendary rap group Public Enemy, Chuck D
redefined rap music and Hip Hop culture. His messages addressed weighty
issues about race, rage and inequality.
Most recently, Chuck has become a spokesperson for, and major proponent of
music on the Internet. In September 1999, he launched a multi-format website
called Rapstation.com. The site is a home for the global hip hop community.
It provides both a television and radio station with original programming, a
slew of Hip Hop's most prominent DJs, celebrity interviews, free MP3
downloads (the first was contributed by rap star Coolio), social commentary,
current events, and regular features dedicated to empower aspiring musicians
with the knowledge to turn their craft into a viable living.
Chuck has also launched a radio station on the Internet, BringTheNoise.com,
and has made Public Enemy the first multi-platinum selling act to release
their album in MP3 format via the Internet before it was available in retail
stores.
