D Original: Interview With dream hampton
Posted in Blogroll on January 30th, 2009 by Michael TilleryBrothas let me just say that dream’s voice is oh so sexy. She has one of those cool, late night, sultry DJ
voices flowing to the chill sounds of a summer wave crashing whisper in a Coltrane not yet frantic breeze.
But this is not about that…
dream is way more than an appetizing and objectifying sound bite. She’s a woman’s woman with a conscience of empowerment who is committed to the cause of eliminating any and every social injustice that has continued to mire those unfortunate in a quagmire of astounding misery. dream is matter of fact knowledge and peace disposition who sings to the beat of a soul enriched by those who fell down inside the gun smoke.
This sentiment has translated to a rap game blessed to have her pen as its camera. Access is yes, a good thing. Access gets the real flick, not the popular one. You know, the one that everyone gets six months too late thus prohibiting the advancement of thought.
No sir.
dream is the advance copy who understands the culture she nods her head to. Eyes closed but open enough just to get the peek we seek without burning the relationship bridges that mean more to her personally than journalism.
