    Thank you guys! What was your favorite part of my performance??

      When you play One More Chance that's always been one of my faves! Everything was dope though!

      smooth sailing so .. between different themes , how cool in execution
      Bonus was a taste of Pop , palatable to the less politically inclined.
      Hip hop is about social bubbling ; it grieves against discrimination.
      My name is Ari !
      I am your fan

      All of it was awesome, but if I had to choose, my first favorite was One More Chance. I love that song, and the second was the Twista to Nina Sky Michael Jackson remix. Your skills are exceptional!

    I think the crowd is just a reflection of their own personality and culture. They just don't quite reverberate on the frequency of African American/Hip-Hop culture. .. But I guess most appreciated it in their own reserved way!

    They had no idea what they were listening to. I was stunned the first time I heard her play. She created a new genre in a moment on the Apollo stage that night. I’m pretty quite a few arenas in the audience that night signed there children up for violin lessons after that.

    Wow! What an awesome performance! I am a hip hop guy since the 80s so this was amazing to combine it with hip hop. I think that the crowd was lackluster although some appreciated it because they recognized the hip hop songs so they knew how you were rocking with it; the only thing that may have prevented more participation was some of the songs that some recognized and began to stand up and jam to were too short and the crowd probably felt that it wasn't worth standing and dancing to because of the fast transitions. But.....personally, I loved it! Great job!

  • @LupusJourney

    Regarding: Most of the sentaments here abt the "cold" audience response, it's simple, yet, too often overlooked! Wrong genre. Wrong crowd!!! The two don't mix. The two don't relate. The two have very little in common. Like the one commenter said, who can sit down on Biggie?!!!! Oil and water? They don't mix. No matter how hard you shake it.
    Completely remove her from this scenario, can you "REALLY" see "ANY" of these artists invited to perform for that VERY SAME audience? Of course not! MJ and Alicia would even be iffy! As an AA from the same generation as these very founders of hip-hop AND rap, these songs were born out of our pains and struggles of my people ESPECIALLY during that time.
    Audience didn't respond bc they can't, and probably never have had to, understand or have been exposed to the struggle, spirit, words, beats, and messages behind every single word!
    Let's not forget her (what I hope was) "unintentional" snub of the genre's founders by not crediting and/or thanking them before announcing "HER" Grammy win, when most, if not all, of them have never even been nominated for one, let alone win! Thus, the birth of Black awards such as NAACP, Soul Train, etc. in order for "US" to be recognized for our "MANY" artistic contributions to the WORLD!
    In fact, in those days they didn't even have a rap or hip-hop category! So, madam Violinist, please ALWAYS credit and thank those founders! Not only do they appreciate it, but the entire AA community will as well. :) ❤️ Congrats on your win!

    I love hip-hop violins. And while she plays good, this just didn't do it for me. It felt more like something she was trying to do than who she really is.
    Major difference between her and Black Violin or Damien Escobar. Hip-hop is really in them. Its a part of who they are and if you're familiar with it, you can feel the difference. If not, you'll think this is fire.
