What I failed to learn from hip hop: Dave Waller at TEDxBrighton

- Dave makes his living as a journalist, but is also a student and performer of improvised comedy, and has a lifelong love of hip-hop culture. He has combined these interests to create Excursions, a collaborative live show designed to bring out the warmth and humour of freestyle rapping and take it to new audiences. As a Cornishman who grew up in the tiny village of Stenalees, Dave is fascinated by how such a niche urban sub-culture managed to spread around the world and wind up co-existing alongside the local shop, bowling green and Women's Institute.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Dam, a lot of people commenting seem to have missed his overall point. He enjoys hip hop and rap, he has a basic understanding of the culture surrounding it. His overall point was just about doing something, putting yourself out there, he dosnt claim to be a expert he even says I still don't know what's going on. It's sad and confusing why people could judge someone so harshly for speaking their own truth.
@The Meticulous Gentleman eh Mac miller? It's rare but there's definitely some white guys that get hiphop
The Meticulous Gentleman eminem,mac Miller,G-Eazy, lil dicky, logic, beastie boys, would all like to have a word with you
The Meticulous Gentleman that's your opinion, not fact
The Meticulous Gentleman and your stereotyping wouldn't exist if you empathized with and opened your mind about white people. And also being the greatest isn't really objective, everyone has a favorite artist and everyone has a greatest list of artists, 2pac may be very influential, but why dismiss other artists. Drake, GZA, Eminem, Kanye, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre can all be the greatest unless you actually give an objective measurement to back your statement up. I get why someone wouldn't though, it's really hard to go through the catalog even a handful of names in the rap industry.
@The Meticulous Gentleman 2pac stans are just as bad as Eminem stans. The two most overrated MCs ever. Rakim is objectively the most influential, he brought it from the old school to the new. after that its Public Enemy, NWA, Wu-Tang and Outkast, even Bone and Tribe was more influential than Pac. Pac's flow was basic and his subject matter was nothing ground breaking. He had really good producers and wrote songs for average people so his music was popular. He might have a lot of biters(clones) but as far and influencing the culture and pushing it in new directions he didn't really contribute anything. If anything people trying to copy him(and biggie) contributed to hip hop's stagnation.
I love that he's not embarrassed to do this!!!!!! Put your two pounds out there! Love it! :D
I'm more than delighted for Stena to have its place on stage, well done you have done us proud xx
This guy is relatable to an uncanny degree to me.
This dude is funny.He reminds me so much of Stephen Merchant.
Respect
Legend.
oatmeal
change some names and that's the story of my life. Thanks for sharing, it was helpful to me and got some laughs too
That had a lot of value for me. Thanks
Beautiful impressive talk. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
No bars, but hes got balls lol
Really liked this. More to come I hope..
1/8 of this guys chin is Heihachi
Rakim is great but MF DOOM is probably my favorite MC
Rakim is the originator.
Guru, GZA and Rakim are my personal inspirations and my favorite emcees.
MF Doom is amazing
Doom is always off beat and slurs his words. What do you find intriguing about him?
wow!
Nice Dave. Ad (aka public enemy Ad)
He finally got a beer
I thought he was going to ask if he lost 2 quid for that. LOL
Hip hop was born from ancient oral traditions blended with modern music...its far older that this guy says
Jack Smith I’m gonna need a fact check on that one
Hip hop is definitely related to oral tales from the past but hip hop as we know it is much more modern than that and to classify those tales and traditions as hip hop is very big stretch.
Please,add italian subtitles
Whether it is accurate or not, Dave uses the data that many others do here. www.pbs.org/black-culture/explore/hip-hop/40th-anniversary/
Although that rap was hella cringey : respect to what he said and felt about rap/hip hop
I want my 16mins back
Should have bought the picture
Im going do a TED talk about the day my Grandad took me to the Science museum. FFS
I waited and still,... wtf..
That's a wrap.
John Oliver?
awesome rap, i wish people would stop smashing their twitter into everyones face though. i hate it
I was ridin until the end wtf was that
It was just a silly (and nervous) freestyle. I wish he would have explained that to the audience first what off the top was and how it takes talent. He also should have spit some of his written bars that he was more comfortable with. I admire his story though.
If your jumping ship now you were never on board
He was putting his 2 pounds out there
(: ¡Hola!
so much sound feed back and echo i cant take it
Tasmania is Australia's Cornwall in how it relates to the Bronx? I am sorry that is the final straw. The irony has compelled me, this guy loves and adores hip hop and studied history. He inconveniently missed the entire continent of Africa, then claims hip hop is only 40 years old. He doesn't know what hip hop means let alone anything about it's relevance and significance, suddenly in his mid 30s he decides he understands and it's a demeaning belittling conclusion formed from half a realisation. I really like this guy but it's a pity he doesn't have a clue how racist this whole talk ended up being. What he learnt from hip hop is interesting but he makes false claims far too readily, and to an audience that needs a trusted source.
He doesn't know its history, few people do. It's easier to say where it physically started, but tracing its origin back is something a lot of people don't know. I for one, hadn't considered that until Akala opened my mind with his own TED talk on the evolution of the MC.
You're missing the point. He's saying that Tas is as far away from hip hop as Cornwall.
YER GO TED U FEM BOY
That rap was awful. If it was a joke, then it was a good joke.
It was just a silly nervous freestyle. I wish he would have explained that to the audience first what off the top was and how it takes talent. He also should have spit some of his written bars that he was more comfortable with. I admire his story though.
he had me up until he grabbed himself. SMH
I bet he thinks Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time
He said Rakim is his personal favourite
+Zain Zaidi Not the whole thing, couldn't get past the white boy teaching about hip hop as if he knows a damn thing about it
+Manuug Thomas dumbass..
+Hiphopfan Your Mom
he clearly said Rakim.
Hip hop did not start in the 70s
Plz do some research
"On a hot August night in 1973, Clive Campbell, known as DJ Kool Herc, and his sister Cindy put on a 'back to school jam' in the recreation room of their apartment block at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the west Bronx."
1973 isn't in the 70s? Ok.
Does this dude even listen to rap music? He doesn't know what the hell he's talking about!
why you so mad lmao he is just telling everyone a passion of his
That was deliberate. He was demonstrating anyone can do it.
Resi Ðesїgns Ever heard of cultural appropriation? That's why I'm mad, some clean cut nerdy white teaching about rap is offensive to me as a black man, and extremely offensive to me as a rapper
Manuug Thomas Just because he's white he can't know about Hip Hop and talk about it? You must really hate Eminem, then. It's not rap, anyway; it's Hip Hop. Offensive yet he's doing nothing to offend? He's just a person like the rest of us that loves Hip Hop. He's part of the culture.
wunas96 HipHop came out of the oppressive slums in NY, whites never cared about it until it started making millions, now we got this white dweeb teaching audiences the origins.
In a 100 years whites will be saying stuff like Eminem started hip-hop! Just like everything else in history. You know how many rappers had multisyllabic rhyme schemes who never blew? The point is that whites would rather see some guy like this rapping and when the originators do it, they're thugs that must be locked up and killed. Don't worry I don't expect you to understand
