Video: NOLA Hiphop Archive (Kickstarter Campaign)

There is a Kickstarter campaign aimed at supporting a digital archive for New Orleans hip-hop. New Orleans has been amongst the most fertile locations in producing hip-hop talent, including the Cash Money and No Limit movements and rappers ranging from Big Freedia to Jay Electronica.



The NOLA Hiphop Archive was founded in 2012 as an effort to collect, document, and make accessible to the public the oral histories of New Orleans’ influential rappers, producers and DJs who helped to create and popularize hiphop and bounce music traditions in the city and beyond. Founded in 2012 by Tulane graduate student, Holly Hobbs, the Archive currently holds more than 30 videotaped interviews with the city’s hiphop and bounce artists and pioneers.

The Kickstarter initiative will be used to assist in the collection of an additional 30 new videotaped oral histories, to be completed by the end of 2014, as well as the creation of a digital viewing station, housed in the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University. A donation of any amount toward our successful goal will help to further document and provide support and recognition for these important members of our creative community and beyond.

President Obama To Visit New Orleans November 8

The White House says President Obama will pay a visit to New Orleans, Friday, November 8 to speak about the economy.

It will be his first visit to the area since Hurricane Issac in 2012.

Details of his appearances have not yet been released.

According to the White House, he'll focus on promoting measures he believes will help grow the nation's economy including efforts to increase exports.

The Advocate reported that Governor Jindal released a statement after the visit was announced in which he expressed the hope that the President would meet with him to discuss "all the great things that are happening in Louisiana."

Jindal also took a jab at Obama, saying “We also hope he can make time to join us and meet with parents participating in the Louisiana Scholarship Program and explain to them why his Justice Department is trying to force their children back into failing schools.”
