| Abstract | Shoes House -- as Northern Lights was dubbed on Tuesdays -- was an open campus for self-taught hip-hop academics. Give any of them a two and a four beat and they' d know instinctively if it was a Detroit joint. If it was, you better believe they 'd be doing dances from The D. Sometimes Jitting (as in the jitterbug meets breaking,) always Errol Flynning (as in the gang, not the Robin Hood.); Once you saw Shoes House… once you heard where you were, you couldn't help but feel that Shoes House was a home where your family knew every word, every beat, every measure of the soundtrack of your life.; Where else could you nod your head to Slum Village with Slum Village, two-step to Dwele with Dwele, Errol Flynn to Guilty Simpson with Guilty Simpson, raise your drink to Proof with Proof?; They were all there. It was this moment in time just a couple of years back when everyone was alive and everyone was accounted for. |
