.haviahmighty on hip-hop turning 50: 'It’s just an honour to be recognized in that space'
Mighty chatted to ET Canada’s Brittnee Blair about the anniversary, with the host mentioning that the rapper is set to perform a show with Kardinal Offishall and Choclair at the CNE Bandshell in Toronto on August 25 to mark the occasion.
“I can’t really fathom that concept yet of being appreciated amongst the greats, the people that I’ve looked up to growing up.”, becoming the first hip-hop artist to take home the award — then said of her thoughts on the 50th anniversary of hip-hop in general, and her place in it, “It’s just an honour to be recognized in that space, to be performing amongst legends as a part of that space,” recognizing that she’s been a part of discussions.
“You know, I just want to keep moving in this path. I feel affirmed in that and I’m grateful. Hip-hop is so much of my expression and so much of so many people’s expressions. It’s so much of a community expression and it’s so much bigger than any one person or any one thing, any one sound. So it is… I’m just grateful because I also think being a part of these discussions allows me to see how much 50 years of hip-hop has impacted communities and impacted culture.
“The entire project is about the beginning of the end, or so my perception was at the time, and then kind of almost reinventing myself, finding myself again, healing myself and manifesting a better version of myself.
