So happy to see Kanye publicly take accountability for the pain his words may have caused to so many.

Standing with our Jewish brothers & sisters.

Miri Ben-Ari (@MiriBenAri) is The Hip Hop Violinist.

For this month’s Hip Hop Museum (@thhmuseum) Q&A, I spoke with Miri about her first discovering Hip Hop, her frequent collaborations with Kanye West (@kanyewest), his late mother Donda, and what she thinks about Kanye now, performing at Summer Jam 2001 with Jay-Z, and more.

Miri on first discovering Hip Hop:

“I was excellent in classical music—like a child prodigy. But I wanted to fly, and I never knew that that was possible until I heard Charlie Parker and his saxophone. I moved to the US to learn how to improvise. And somehow, I had enough of the fundamentals, common sense, and understanding of music to realize that if I could improvise in Jazz, I could grow wings and do whatever I wanted to do.

I remember the first time I heard Biggie Smalls. It was the first time I heard Hip Hop where I really paid attention. It was a passing car, and I was walking on West 3rd Street in New York City. This is where Hip Hop got me. I was like, what is this? What is that sound? That’s when I discovered Hip Hop.”
