SLUM VILLAGE | ABOUT SV (822 words)
ABOUT SV When Slum Village emerged in the late 1990s, the highly regarded Detroit trio of T3, Baatin and Jay Dee made a startling admission: their group was a liquid association with members coming and going during the group's evolution.
Slum Village represents the Midwest's funk heritage on the inspirational "Do You," which was produced by Jay Dee, and teams with Chicago's Kanye West on lead single "Selfish," a sly, piano-driven song where T3, Elzhi and West rap about their desire to have a monopoly with women.
The resulting album became an underground classic and Slum Village was seen as the second coming of the Native Tongues (A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul) by member Q-Tip, as well as fans and journalists alike.
slum: Definition and Much More from Answers.com (1525 words)
Slums are also different from favelas or shanty towns, in that they consist of permanent (if low-quality) housing rather than less-durable shacks of cardboard or corrugated iron.
Slums are usually characterized by urban blight and by high rates of poverty and unemployment.
Slum clearance often takes the form of eminent domain and urban renewal projects, and often the former residents are not welcome in the renewed housing.
