ASL Terp Rocks The Guinness World Record

American Sign Language interpreter keeping up with the fastest rapper ever deserves her own title.

CHICAGO, IL -- At 280 words per minute, Twista clocks in as the fastest rapper of all time, so when sign language interpreter, Amber Galloway Gallego was able to keep up, word for word, with the Chicago rapper at a recent concert, the Internet was more than impressed.

In a video clip that deservedly went viral, fans can watch Amber Galloway Gallego not only keep pace with Twista (whom FiveThirtyEight declared the fastest rapper of all time in 2014 based on speed and words per minute) but emphatically bring the heat with the dexterity of her signing skills.

This isn’t the first time that Galloway Gallego, a certified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter for nearly two decades and advocate for equal access, has gotten some major love online for her work as a sign language interpreter; her distinctive moves have shared the stage with artists like Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar, the latter’s concert giving her one of her most memorable viral moments when she captured the essence of his expletive-ridden verse on A$AP Rocky’s “F*ckin’ Problems” at Lollapalooza in 2013.

Twista's sign language interpreter hitting every single word he fires off on stage is 10/10 content. She needs a Guinness World Record as seen on pic.twitter.com/8GwEaA1Oza.

The ASL Terp Fiasco of Amber Galloway Gallego

ASL vlog covers on the ASL Terp fiasco of Amber Galloway Gallego.

The video producer by openly Deaf Gay Ricky Taylor aka Ridor9th, also known as one of the most controversial bloggers in the Deaf community.

This brief vlog focuses on the fiasco of Amber Galloway Gallego on why I said I found her to be annoying. It has nothing to do with jealousy or crab's theory. It has so much to do with Deaf disempowerment regarding previous vlog.

ASL Terp: Stop Calling Sign Language 'Cool'

Let’s talk or sign! about the Deaf, not hearing interpreters.

As is consistent with the written and culturally accepted standard, “Deaf” is used to refer to a community, while “Deaf” is used to refer to a physiological state of being.

A few days ago, a good friend and fellow linguaphile posted a video on my Facebook wall of Shelby Mitchusson, a hearing American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter translating Eminem’s anthemic “Lose Yourself,” signing with dramatic facial expression and full body motion as she attempts to convey the essence of Slim Shady. The video now has more than 3 million views.

In the fall of 2013, Amber Galloway Gallego became a YouTube sensation after video of her signing a Kendrick Lamar concert also garnered millions of views. Countless articles (here, here, here, and here, to cite a few) lauded Gallego's signing as “epic” and called her “a true inspiration.” Of course, what she’s doing is a service to the Deaf community. Music is something that all people, regardless of their hearing status, should be able to appreciate and understand, and to convey the rhythm and spirit of Kendrick Lamar into a form of expression the Deaf and Hard of Hearing can process is inherently valuable. Mitchusson and Gallego went viral because their videos are not simply a detached interpretation. They're excitingly interpretive.

But what are we really doing when we label ASL with words like "epic" or "cool"? We are exoticizing and trivializing it. ASL (and all sign languages--remember, there isn’t just one!) is a language every bit as much as English, with its own rules of grammar, its own syntax, morphology, phonology, and semantics. It is not “cool” or “interesting” or “awesome," but rather a practical and evolving way of communicating that deserves as much respect as any spoken language. To share a video of someone signing with the caption “look how cool this is!” perpetuates the misconception that sign languages are somehow different, a kind of sideshow novelty at which to marvel...
