Hip Hop: Then & Now Featuring Common and Chuck D

From the frozen department... I wish I was a student again! Chuck D and Common will be at the UT Student Activity Center Ballroom on Thursday, February 10th, 2011 at 7pm leading a discussion on the past, present, and future of hip hop! If someone can get me in, let me know! I still have my old UT id. :)
