Na kreni spletni strani sm najdla en fuuuul lep intervju z eno 'B-girl' s katero se js POPOLNOMA strinjam. In rada bi sam to vam kopirala da se zve kak plesalci gledamo na Ples. ;) Drugač je tut neki podatkov o njej ampak mnenje je enako njeno kot moje. :D
(intervju je v angleščini ampak ga bote usi razumel.;)) In upam da se bojo predsodki nekaterih ljudi tut spremenil. :) Ampak, briga mene. :D

When did you get into hip hop and breaking?
I have always been drawn to hip hop. I actually was breaking a little bit (at least I thought so) as a kid (like 7-8 years old). I used to imitate this teenage guy who lived in my building complex. I also used to copy what B-Boys did from what I saw on T.V., however, being a little kid I never really did any complex moves or anything like that. But hip hop REALLY got a hold of me when my babysitter gave me a Run DMC tape. I used to play "You Be Illin'" all the time. I then wrote my first rhyme, with my brother, to an instrumental on Rodney O. and Joe Cooley's album (dang, that's old!!) and I''ve just been writing and rhyming ever since.

What does hip hop mean to you?
Wow, hip hop is a big part of my life. Since I rap, I am always writing and trying to be in a creative mindstate. It is my outlet. It let's me express who I am and who I want to be. Hip Hop is ART and I'm glad to be an up and coming artist in one of the freshest artforms on the planet. Hip Hop also puts you in touch with people who are cool. That is the main reason I have started putting together a B-Girl crew called the Insomniacs. The reason for the name "Insomniacs" is because we should not be slept on just because we are girls. When you are a girl in hip hop (and guys too!), you gotta be wide awake. So if you are a B-Girl and would like to join the crew, feel free to hit me up.

What are your thoughts on being a bgirl?
Hmmm, let me think. Ok, done. Well, being a B-Girl is all an attitude. It's how you carry yourself. It's also what you know. Not only knowledge of cats on the record store shelves or other people in Hip Hop, but it's knowledge of self. When you are a B-Girl you have said "This is me" and you have to carry all the weight that goes along with it, be it positive or negative. Some people think that they are a B-Girl (or B-Boy) if they wear certain clothes or listen to certain things, but personally I feel that it's all in your heart. Shoot, I shop at Good Will and I'm fresh!

Who are your favorite bgirls?
Well I don't really have any 'favorite' B-Girls, however, I do dig a lot of other B-Girl's styles. There's Unorthodox Measures and Kisapele from hiphop-elements.com. They got nice lyrical and poetic skills. I also admire a lot of femcees that have came before me. My favorites are Bahamadia, Ladybug, and L-Boogie.

What are downs of being a bgirl?
Well, the only thing negative I can say about it is if people put you into a stereotype. Like they think that you ONLY like Hip Hop or only certain kinds of Hip Hop. I don't like the classifications or the opinions that say that you have to dig or only be a part of one style either. I like what I like- no matter if I want to listen to The Roots or Mozart, I will always be a B-Girl cuz it's who I am. Other than that, there ain't no downs!
