Professors as well as undergraduate and graduate students who teach and research Hiphop studies gathered at UC Berkeley on April 18, 2009. In addition to exihibitions and performance, many conference papers were presented and discussed. Topics included issues concerning community-relevance, research methods, publication challenges and ethics, among others. There were over 80 attendees at this free conference on a warm sunny day in Berkeley, California. The participants reflected the "collective" aesthetic associated with Hiphop culture, which gave this conference a positive and memorable "vibration." My three-year old son even enjoyed the traditional conference format because the content presented and the passion of the presenters proved engaging.
