Wade Tatangelo's up for an award
Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 4:06 AM
My cover story/feature on local hip-hop collective Umbrella Corporation has been nominated for A Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists' Griot Drum Award. Here's what we call the "lede," aka the opening salvo, in the journalism biz:
Heavy beats slam through the room like war drums. The crowded nightclub is thick with cigarette smoke, booze, a trace of weed -- and adrenaline. Here at Full Moon Saloon in Ybor City, well past midnight on a Wednesday, local emcees are engaged in rap battles -- face-to-face put-downs built on improvised rhymes. Umbrella Corporation, a Tampa hip-hop collective that's changing the landscape of the 813 underground, calls the venue home. Tonight their artists dominate the congested stage.

Thanks! I miss having the time to do research-intensive, 2,500-word stories like that one.
Very good post. Made me realize I was totally wrong about this issue. I figure that one learns something new everyday. Mrs Right learned her lesson! Nice, informative website by the way.
