Talib
Kweli, former Yo! MTV Raps VJ Fab Five Freddy and rapper Pharoahe Monch
will share their experiences in the world of music videos through a one-day class
called The Art of Music Video Directing taking place today (Mar. 26). Fab
Five Freddy and Pharoahe Monch will teach inner city students from New York’s
public schools, as part of Music Nation’s new partnership with Working Playground
for the nonprofit organization’s Master Class series. The
Art of Music Video Directing is one of two classes offered in the series. The
other class, titled Spoken Word Lyricism, will be taught by critically-acclaimed
rapper Talib Kweli. The
series provides an opportunity for youth to further their interest in the arts
by learning the art of the music video from some of Hip-Hop’s most respected
names. Both
courses will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday at New Design High School, 350 Grand
Street, 4th Floor (Between Broome and Ludlow) in New York.
