Will the Top Dawgs Flop? Will the Top Dawgs Flop? By TRodriguez23547 of SOFLOSOUND.com No label in hip-hop quite ran the hype, acclaim, and sales of mainstream music quite like Top Dawg Entertainment in the 2010s. With critical and commercial acclaim under its massive belt, the collective exceeded its humble beginnings with one of the most defining runs of quality in rap history. Kendrick Lamar, the de-facto leader of the label, demolished both the charts and critics' brains with numerous records that seemed to reinvent mainstream concept-rap as we know it. SZA has claimed a spot on the present-day R&B Mount Rushmore with her unique voice. Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q, and Isaiah Rashad have supplanted themselves as key role players to allow the TDE team to score big with cohesive, narrative-driven albums that hit hard on the brain and bass. The reason for their success in the past decade was simple: quality over quantity. Each project had time to grow and change into its own unique being, landing at the perfect time for each release to evolve into some sort of mythical event. That should 1 be it right? Can’t they just carry over these same practices into the new decade? Well, not now it seems. Hindsight is 20/20, but many are unsure if they can make it past the year 2020. Let's get the obvious out of the way: TDE is still a landmark force in hip-hop. With such an exceptionally talented roster, it's doubtful people would forget the skills that the collective holds. Even with recent mixed responses for the likes of Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q, the artists on the label are held to high esteem and have no doubt secured spots in numerous rap fans' top ten. Music twitter still won't shut up about To Pimp a Butterfly and its artistic merit, even though it’s nearly five years old. But with high expectations comes high chances for failure. Despite the amazing output he collective has had over the years, the continual buildup by fans for an artist to drop another Oxymoron or Control System is making an insurmountable mountain for label signees to overcome. In an age where disappointment can quickly go viral by a well worded review or expertly tuned slander tweet, an album can simply fall by the wayside of critics and charts alike, all to be left in the wake of new album releases in a forthcoming week. It all follows the common delusion of hip-hop fans: if someone dropped a classic, they must only drop classics afterwards or their overall legacy will be nothing more than a shit stain. This is wrong of course; an album doesn't have to be perfect to be enjoyable. Unfortunately, a lot of rap heads want the whole cake or none at all.Expectations are not the only ingredients in the cautionary stew that TDE is preparing to eat. The rise of collectives like Griselda and Dreamville tie into what is TDE's most lacking component: the admission, growth, and promotion of smaller talent. 2 The core members of TDE are unanimously known in the rap community. Everyone knows about K-Dot, Rock, Q, and Ab-Soul. Hell, even now SZA is beginning to come around as one of the label’s biggest names. But a lot of attention from fans goes towards them, and little is left for the rest. To prove this point, look at none other than Chattanooga’s best, Isaiah Rashad. As much as Rashad is a huge force for the Southern underground, it’s not difficult to imagine that many non-hardcore fans wouldn't know he's even signed to TDE. His long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed darling, The Sun's Tirade, has barely even received any promotion or attention outside of a few tweets from Kenny Beats and Zay himself. It may all be a big strategy from the collective to build anticipation, but the album remains nowhere in sight. Without a release in 2020, hope may dissipate for fans of his, leaving potential interest in the label on the gutter. I pray this isn't the case, as he brings a truly human element to a titanic group of artists. In the same boat, some of the more unique voices in the collective haven’t had much time to shine in the spotlight. SiR’s 2019 album Chasing Summer was one of the better R&B albums of the year, yet despite its TDE backing, it barely made a splash in the pool of weekly releases. The same goes for the dynamic soul from Reason with his 2018 album, There You Have It. While both great bodies of work, the promotion and attention called to these albums was oddly small. If the grand release cycle of DAMN. was a trip to Disney World, these SiR and Reason release cycles were a budget trip to go see Rise of Skywalker. This may have been unintentional, but the lack of awareness by general music fans of these 3 great artists is disheartening. An obvious counter argument can be made that maybe these artists didn't want to be the next big thing as they chase their own lane at their own speed. While this is true, their success ultimately helps the collective thrive, grow, and create great music. Labels like Griselda are in the running for top label of the next few years solely because of their hunger and heavy promotion of new works from some of the game’s most hungry artists. WWCD, The Plugs I Met, Hitler Wears Hermes, etc. came a big way to showcase the talent and skill of MCs that seemed to pop out of nowhere from the underground. Dreamville has a large cast of characters, but each has received their own spot on every fan's radar by partaking in their third label compilation last year, whereas other TDE artists had at most one appearance (or none, for Zay and SiR) on the Black Panther Album... It's clear that TDE is here to stay. Their decisions, use of amazing artists, and marketing have proven their success in the past. But the fans ultimately determine what succeeds and what fails. With so much heavy talent on their roster, the buildup of anticipation for albums will be tough to satisfy fans. Besides the production of great music to meet expectations (a usual constant for the collective when they don't chase trends), TDE may need to grow and show love to even the most obscure of their artists while we wait for the next Kendrick or SZA album. Maybe a new talent can be signed? The label as a whole has a great eye for talent, so maybe a new star will be born if its members are willing to expand. 4 2020 looks like it may be a big year for the organization with possible Ab-Soul, Kendrick, and Reason releases on the horizon. I cannot wait to hear what one of the best rap collectives of modern memory has to offer. All I hope for is that they remember the importance of the little guy and the chances they can take with them...like the one they took with one Kendrick Lamar. 5 .

    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

  • How Avid Fans Determine and Value Authenticity in Rap Music
    THE RELEVANCE OF REAL: HOW AVID FANS DETERMINE AND VALUE AUTHENTICITY IN RAP MUSIC _______________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Sociology University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Master’s Degree _______________ By Erian J. Aquil May 2018 THE RELEVANCE OF REAL: HOW AVID FANS DETERMINE AND VALUE AUTHENTICITY IN RAP MUSIC _______________ An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Sociology University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Master’s Degree _______________ By Erian J. Aquil May 2018 ABSTRACT Authenticity in rap music holds historical importance in hip hop culture. Low-income blacks in New York City used rap music to express their feelings about and bring awareness to issues in their communities. Rap music is no longer as closely tied to its origins, but authenticity remains a valuable part of these expressions. Though researchers acknowledge rap music has changed, they use historical markers to identify what is authentic in rap music and rarely investigate how fans understand authenticity today. In-depth interviews with eighteen avid rap fans illustrate new ways fans determine authenticity in rap music. Borrowing from Swidler’s (1986) “cultural tool kit,” this study shows how fans draw from their personal toolkits to determine authenticity. Specifically, fans determine authenticity based on whether they believe an artist is telling stories about personal lived experiences, whether they can relate to an artist’s lyrics, and/or whether an artist shows vulnerability in some way. Conversely, fans consider lyrics inauthentic when a rapper tells exaggerated stories that do not seem plausible.

    SiR RELEASES EAGERLY ANTICIPATED ALBUM CHASING SUMMER TODAY VIA TOP DAWG ENTERTAINMENT/RCA RECORDS GUEST FEATURES BY KENDRICK LAMAR, LIL WAYNE, JILL SCOTT, SABRINA CLAUDIO, ZACARI, SMINO AND KADHJA BONET [New York, NY – August 30, 2019] The Labor Day weekend may mark the unofficial end of the summer season but SiR is keeping the warm laid-back vibes going today with the highly anticipated release of Chasing Summer via TDE/RCA Records. Click here to listen. “Hair Down” featuring TDE labelmate Kendrick Lamar kicked off the excitement for Chasing Summer. Complex stated, “Over a sun-drenched beat, SiR’s sultry vocals, along with Kendrick’s rapid- fire verse, makes ‘Hair Down’ great L.A. driving music.” With over 15 million streams since its August 6 release, “Hair Down” is undoubtedly great driving music nationwide. The accompanying video has garnered over 4 million views to date.

  • Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, Its People
    It’s Not Me, It’s You: Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, its People by Sharieka Shontae Botex April, 2019 Director of Thesis: Dr. Wendy Sharer Major Department: English The origins of Hip Hop evidence that the art form was intended to provide more than music to listen to, but instead offer art that delivers messages on behalf of people who were not always listened to. My thesis offers an analysis of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content and adds to an ongoing discussion of the potential Hip Hop artists have to be effective leaders for the Black community, whose lyrical content can be used to make positive change in society, and how this ability at times can be compromised by creating content that doesn’t evidence this potential or undermines it. Along with this, my work highlights how some of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content exhibits their use of some rhetorical strategies and techniques used in social movements and their use of some African American rhetorical practices and strategies. In addition to this, I acknowledge and discuss points in scholarship that connect with my discussion of their lyrical content, or that aided me in proposing what they could consider for future lyrical content. I analyzed six Jay-Z songs and six J. Cole songs, including one song from their earliest released studio album and one from their most recently released studio album. I examined their lyrical content to document responses to the following questions: What issues and topics are discussed in the lyrics; Is money referenced? If so, how; Is there a message of uplift or unity?; What does the artist speak out against?; What lifestyles and habits are promoted?; What guidance is provided?; What problems are mentioned? and What solutions are offered? In my thesis, I explored Jay-Z and J.
