Sudan's Got Talent, Sudan's Got HIP HOP Nation!
This short interview with Hussein El-Eligi the director assistant and one of the members of hip hop nation crew, so let's get to know hip hop nation better, Hussein says that hip hop nation is an online program that cares about all the Sudanese hip hop talents. He added: the nature of the program is to take the youths talents and present it in a very special way, you see, hip hop nation means the mission of the hip hop, hip hop always has an inclusion or a message and our mission is to present this message to the audients and that's where the name of the program came.
When I asked Hussein if there's any institution behind this program, he answered: No, this program is all by our personal efforts without any outer care.
HIP HOP NATION crew includes only three talented men: the director and cameraman Ahmed Ibrahim. The director assistant, cameraman, and a preparer Hussein Al-Eligi. And the third man is the graphic Abdul Rahman Ibrahim who works at editing and colors corrector. I think with the magnificent work of those three young men SUDAN still got some great talents, I mean doing such a creative work isn't that easy.
Hussein continue saying: the idea of making this program came from the director Ahmed Ibrahim and the director assistant Hussein El-Eligi and that's me. And we first started the program in 2013, our first shooting was on September then we put it on YOUTUBE and surprisingly we found everybody's talking about the program and how much they liked the idea, then everybody got extremely excited to see our next work.
My next question Hussein is: do you guys choose the people who have talent randomly? And how they come to you? He said: Yes we choose group of people and then choose one of them randomly but most importantly the person we choose muse have a high standard hip hop talent whatever it was, you see, there are many types of hip hop we care about: rap, DJ, graffiti art (which is wall painting), and hip hop dancers.
Q: Who designed the title?
A: The title is designed in a graffiti way by Ahmed Ibrahim
Q: Why you guys are not presenting this program on one of the Sudanese channels?
A: The Sudanese media is hiding the hip hop, and this is the base of our idea of hip hop nation which is to show our hip hop talents, our talents that the Sudanese media is not convinced with, and those talents are so spread all over Sudan.
Q: Do you face any problems while shooting an episode?
A: Yes, unfortunately sometime we get some troubles getting a permission to shoot an episode, because any location we go to shoot on we must have permission.
Q: If someone proposed to take care of this program and run it at some other foreign channel are you guys ready to do that?
A: Of course we will say yes, because our first and last goal is to show the world our Sudanese hip hop talents. We have actually received some supported offers from the United States of America and other famous Arabian radio stations saying that they are ready to support us but the problem was that they had their own conditions which is to belong the whole idea of the program to them and by that we are not going to be related to it and we really didn't like that.
Q: Does HIP HOP NATION have activities other than the online program?
A: Yes, we produce commercials, video clips, and short movies, and we did deal with an international actors and directors.
Q: Do you have a location in Khartoum? And how can anyone get to you?
A: No we do not have a location yet, but anyone can get to us through our FACEBOOK page: www.facebook.com/HipHopNationsudan.
Q: Do you have other branches outside of Sudan?
A: No, right now we are working only inside Sudan, but we are communicating with other Sudanese talents from other countries and they represent us, and by that the program turns from Sudan to be over the Arab and internationally over the world.
Q: In the end what do you want to say?
A: I would like to thank everyone who supported us and stood with us, and gave us motivation to move it on and carry on the program, and I give a special thank to Sudan Vision newspaper for supporting us more.
In the very end, I say Sudan sstill got talents like hip hop nation, such a successful online program done by such few people, and I think it's a brilliant idea to publish a show on the internet so as to let the whole world watch it. So people, be up! Because more talents are on the way.
