Title: Signifying Rappers: Rap and Race in the . Publisher: Ecco Pr. Publication Date: 1990. Binding: Paperback. Book Condition: Very Good. About this title. Explores the development of Rap music and examines its place in American culture. From Publishers Weekly: Based primarily on the authors' experiences hanging out with the owners of a small rap music production company, the first part of this long essay on understanding rap describes the setting in which this subversive music has arisen--the urban ghetto, in this case, the North Dorchester section of Boston. We get a vivid picture of rap's real-life context in an area of poverty, drugs and various types of radical activity, an environment closed to upscale whites by the barriers of fear and oppression. The music similarly remains for whites, assert the authors, "like little more than looking at something venomous in a tightly closed jar." Much of the book is devoted to a critical explication and validation of rap, including literary and historical analysis, placing it, for instance, in the context of African oral tradition. But away from the stark truths of reportage, the authors--Costello is an assistant district attorney in Manhattan; Wallace wrote the novel The Broom of the System --often get mired in theoretical hyperbole and digression. They claim to be the first whites to appreciate its political radicalness and artistic value, calling rap "quite possibly the most important stuff happening in American poetry today."

David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008) was an American writer and essayist of The '90s and the 2000s. Technically, he began writing in The '80s; but he was in grad school at the time, so it doesn't count. Wallace was known for his unique brand of literature, characterized by long, rambling sentences, subtle irony, and complete incomprehensibility. His nonfiction is more accessible, but still full of epically long sentences and footnotes. His group of short stories all going by the title "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" (four of which appear in his short story collection Brief Interviews With Hideous Men along with a bunch of other, unrelated stories) was adapted in 2008 by Jon Krasinski (aka Jim from The Office ) in his first foray into directing. Unfortunately, Wallace never saw it. After a long battle with severe depression, he died by suicide on September 12, 2008, at the age of 46. Between Dead Artists Are Better and the fact that he wrote some of the most experimental fiction of his time, Wallace will, with Jonathan Franzen (a good friend and frequent correspondent of his and a common if controversial source of information on Wallace himself), likely be remembered as the premier American Lit Fic writer of the '90s and '00s, and (most likely) of Generation X more generally (with Dave Eggers and Chuck Palahniuk coming in a distant third).

Signifying Rappers: Rap and Race in the Urban Present by David Foster Wallace. This week, Mark Costello and David Foster Wallace's Signifying Rappers: Rap and Race in the Urban Present is back in print from Back Bay Books. The 1990 intellectual frolic has mostly been the missing piece in Wallace's oeuvre, often dismissed as juvenilia while he was alive, then being consigned to expensive, out-of-print territory, even after his death, when all things DFW piqued readers' interest. It's a curious, often precocious book from an era when thinking hard about hip-hop and seeing how far down the grad-school rabbit hole it could take you was a relatively new phenomenon. In the case of Signifying Rappers , Costello and Wallace compared Bob Dylan and Flavor Flav, exhibited an unhealthy obsession with the high- low bridging of Schoolly D's 1988 track "Signifying Rapper," and dropped far too many self-deprecating "we're clueless white boys" asides. But it's also got some fairly quintessential proto-DFW moments. For a sense of what this strange little book is all about, here are ten of the most memorable quotes from Signifying Rappers . 1. The 10 Most David Foster Wallace-ian Quotes in 'Signifying Rappers' 2. Elvis Presley. On anti-hip-hop mouth-breathers: "The Spike Lee-directed video for Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" has the band leading a re-enactment of M.L.K.'s 1963 March on Washington, with then NYC mayor Ed Koch and economic inequality the bones to be picked. In the wake of the April '89 Central Park rape (after which the suspected rapists reportedly sang Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" in their cells) and the Manhattan scourge of 'wilding' (necklace-snatching and convenience store trashing) by prepubescent black Brooklynites dressed as LL Cool J-wannabes, the media has begun in earnest to link rap music with 'antisocial' behavior in editorials more than eerily reminiscent of establishment/critical reaction to early Elvis, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent et al., when the stakes and temperatures were so much lower." 3. Ice-T. On the importance of gangsta rap: "Public Enemy and N.W.A, Ice-T and Schoolly D discomfit us, our friends, the critics we read and cornered, because the Hard rappers' lyrics are conscientious about being of/for the real lives and attitudes of recognizable (if alien) persons . Here's where it's a level up from mere spectacle: ideology in Hard rap's always informed by incident or named condition, and thus anger by cause, threat by some kind of recognizable (to the Scene) provocation. And this makes rap not only better than Punk, but way scarier. Serious Hard raps afford white listeners genuine, horse's-mouth access to the life-and-death plight and mood of an American community on the genuine edge im-/explosion, an ugly new subnation we've been heretofore conditioned to avoid, remanded to the margins, not even seen except through certain carefully abstract, attenuating filters." 4. Dennis Hopper's 'Colors' On hip-hop fan profiling: "Take the subway further than usual and see the fear played out at a distance. Dennis Hopper commissions high-priced serious raps for the soundtrack of his '88 Colors , a much-acclaimed 'realistic' film that dramatizes gang life in South Central L.A. except it does so exclusively from the point of view of the white cops assigned to War On It. Real white Boston cops illegally confiscate N.W.A raps about what assholes white cops are. In some big cities it's now S.O.P. for police to pull over and search any black-driven car from which strains of N.W.A issue.

  • An Interview with David Foster Wallace by Larry Mccaffery
    Rev. Contemporary Fiction | http://www.centerforbookculture.org/interviews/interview_wallace.htmlSummer 1993 An Interview With David Foster Wallace by Larry McCaffery Q: Your essay following this interview is going to be seen by some people as being basically an apology for television. What’s your response to the familiar criticism that television fosters relationships with illusions or simulations of real people (Reagan being a kind of quintessential example)? It’s a try at a comprehensive diagnosis, not an apology. .. viewers’ relationship with is essentially puerile and dependent, as are all relationships based on seduction. This is hardly news. But what’s seldom acknowledged is how complex and ingenious ’s seductions are. It’s seldom acknowledged that viewers’ relationship with is, albeit debased, intricate and profound. It’s easy for older writers just to bitch about ’s hege- mony over the .. art market, to say the world’s gone to hell in a basket and shrug and have done with it. But I think younger writers owe themselves a richer account of just why ’s become such a dominating force on people’s consciousness, if only because we under forty have spent our whole conscious lives being “part” of ’s audience. Q: Television may be more complex than what most people realize, but it seems rarely to attempt to “challenge” or “disturb” its audience, as you’ve written me you wish to. Is it that sense of challenge and pain that makes your work more “serious” than most television shows? I had a teacher I liked who used to say good fiction’s job was to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

  • The Story and Its Writer
    David Foster Wallace David Foster Wallace (1962–2008) was born and raised in Urbana, the son of a philosophy professor at the University of Illinois. Wallace graduated from Amherst College in 1986. Soon afterwards he published his first two books of fiction, the novel The Broom of the System (1987) and the short story collection Girl with Curious Hair (1990) which included “Everything is Green.” In the late 1980s and early 1990s, after a brief enrollment in Harvard University’s doctoral program in philosophy, he said that he “went through a real bad three years” of depression when he lived in Boston and Syracuse. During this time he coauthored the non- fiction book Signifying Rappers: Rap and Race in the Urban Present (1990) with Mark Costello. In 1993 Wallace began teaching creative writing and English literature at Illinois State University, where he completed his grandly conceived second novel, Infinite Jest (1996). In this book he tried to avoid what he considered the excesses of avant-garde fiction, which he described as “hellaciously unfun to read,” and the vapid superficiality of most commercial fiction. Dense and dark, at 981 pages it became his breakthrough novel, an ingenious satire on contemporary American life. After its publication, Wallace became the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” and taught creative writing at Pomona College. Wallace’s extravagant treatment of everyday events has been called “hysteri- cal realism,” a term coined by critic James Wood in an essay on Zadie Smith’s novel White Teeth, reprinted in Wood’s book The Irresponsible Self: On Laughter and the Novel (2004).
