An interview with a UK senior

     For this article I used an impromptu interview I had with a friend of mine's brother named Kyle. We were talking about the upcoming concert of a rapper coming to UK soon. This quickly reminded me of SHHO so I started to ask him about it. Although he wasn't an expert on SHHO he's an avid listener  of hip hop as well as a very active UK student when it comes to student activities which I felt gave him enough credibility to tell me about the concerts put on at UK. 

     According to Kyle, "UK does a lot of concerts for the students, not only hip hop but whatever genre you're into you can probably find a concert you'd like." After asking him a little about SHHO he told me that, "it's basically where a bunch of people who enjoy hip hop get together, hang out, meet artists, and play music." Although I felt this was a very basic definition I felt it necessary to showcase this because this is most likely the same kind of opinion shared by other students at UK. SHHO isn't just for hanging out, it can also be a great educational tool for students who aren't sure how the music industry works and want to learn more about it or want to see what it takes to make a career out of music. One of the last questions I asked Kyle was as a fan of hip hop, would he consider joining SHHO now that he knows more about it. Kyle said, "No, I'm not that big a fan of it, I really just like to listen to it, I don't want to get that involved." I think this kind of viewpoint is what I'll find most among students, they really like listening to it but practicing is a different story. 

     After speaking with Kyle I felt satisfied with the interview but it made me want to go interview someone in SHHO and find out what made them want to go past just listening to hip hop to actually practicing it in such a large organization.
