  • The Future Is History: Hip-Hop in the Aftermath of (Post)Modernity
    The Future is History: Hip-hop in the Aftermath of (Post)Modernity Russell A. Potter Rhode Island College From The Resisting Muse: Popular Music and Social Protest, edited by Ian Peddie (Aldershot, Hampshire: Ashgate Publishing, 2006). When hip-hop first broke in on the (academic) scene, it was widely hailed as a boldly irreverent embodiment of the postmodern aesthetics of pastiche, a cut-up method which would slice and dice all those old humanistic truisms which, for some reason, seemed to be gathering strength again as the end of the millennium approached. Today, over a decade after the first academic treatments of hip-hop, both the intellectual sheen of postmodernism and the counter-cultural patina of hip-hip seem a bit tarnished, their glimmerings of resistance swallowed whole by the same ubiquitous culture industry which took the rebellion out of rock 'n' roll and locked it away in an I.M. Pei pyramid. There are hazards in being a young art form, always striving for recognition even while rejecting it Ice Cube's famous phrase ‘Fuck the Grammys’ comes to mind but there are still deeper perils in becoming the single most popular form of music in the world, with a media profile that would make even Rupert Murdoch jealous. In an era when pioneers such as KRS-One, Ice-T, and Chuck D are well over forty and hip-hop ditties about thongs and bling bling dominate the malls and airwaves, it's noticeably harder to locate any points of friction between the microphone commandos and the bourgeois masses they once seemed to terrorize with sonic booms pumping out of speaker-loaded jeeps.

There has been experimental use of turntables as musical instruments since their invention, but the use is now mainly ascribed to the musical genre hip-hop and the playing style known as scratching. Scratching has developed to become a skillful instrument-playing practice with complex musical output performed by DJs. The impact on popular music culture has been significant, and for many, the DJ set-up of turntables and a mixer is now a natural instru- ment choice for undertaking a creative music activity. Six papers are included in this thesis, where the first three approach the acoustics and performance of scratching, and the second three approach scratch modeling and the DJ interface. Additional studies included here expand on the scope of the papers. For the acoustics and performance studies, DJs were recorded playing both demonstrations of standard performance techniques, and expressive perfor- mances on sensor-equipped instruments.

New Orleans's Master P (Percy Miller) was the leading entrepreneur of unadulterated gangsta-rap. He turned it into the hip-hop equivalent of a serial show, with releases being manufactured according to Master P's script at his studios by a crew of producers. His own albums Ice Cream Man (1996) and Ghetto D (1997) were the ultimate stereotypes of the genre. In 1998, his musical empire had six albums in the Top-100 charts. Atlanta's producer Jonathan "Lil Jon" Smith and his East Side Boyz coined a fusion of hip-hop and synth-pop called "crunk", from the title of their debut, Get Crunk Who U Wit (1996). The first star of East Coast's Latino rap was Christopher "Big Punisher" Rios, a second-generation Puertorican of New York who died of a heart attack shortly after climbing the charts with Capital Punishment (1998).

  • Turntablism. Music for Limited Audiences
    CzasKultury/English 4-5/2007 Turntablism. Music for Limited Audiences Marta Ciechan Turntablism is the art of using a record player as a live instrument. It allows for creating basslines, rhythms and scratches. Etymologically the word “turntablism” comes from the English word turntable, which in this case means turning the platters of the record player. The term was first used in an interview in 1995 by DJ Babu,1 a member of the legendary band Beat Junkies.2 Both he and other members of the International Turntable Federation (ITF) agreed on how to define a turntablist. According to them, it was a person who uses the record player’s turntable as a component to make music as well as an instrument to lit- erally play music.3 Therefore, a turntablist generates and 1 DJ Babu is the stage name of Christopher Oroc. He was born in the United States and joined the Beat Junkies in 1994. Member of the hip hop band Dilated Peoples; winner of a few ITF championships; won the regional finals of the DMC championships in 1995. He recorded and produced two Duck Season mixtapes; contributed to coining the term turntablism. He appeared in a number of movies relating to DJ themes (Scratch, directed by Doug Pray, 2001, and other movies). 2 Beat Junkies is a turntablist crew established in 1992 in Orange County California, US.

In reviewing the opinions of theorists and practitioners in both the live electronic music genre and DJ-ing he argues against the body/machine dialectic that has determined much of the thinking in the former. The author forms a notion of the DJ as a real-time composer working beyond traditional binary distinctions who brings the human body and machine into a mutual relationship. Through practice-led research he charts an investigation beginning in physical human gesture and culminating in digital machine repetition. He concludes that mechanical and digital repetition do not obscure human agency in the production of live works and that this concern is imaginary. Key words: Live, Electronic, DJ, Gesture, Digital, Repetition. Introduction Often configured as both a response and a challenge to electronic music performance predicated on the playback of recordings and automated processes, Live Electronic Music is a product of the belief that the body is participating once again in the music making process, that the human is having a physical effect on the music, not just pressings buttons to facilitate the playback of recordings.

Diamond District featuring Steve Smith - First Time (2009) Intro Rap, was at its root, an opportunity created from a combination of existing African-American musical traditions and a new imperative of expression emanating from newly empowered oppressed peoples. Inner city youth (blacks, Latinos Caribbean creoles, etc) pushed this imperative forward into a musical form that expressed new and bold iterations of an identity informed by civil rights, protest and black empowerment. Rap was in fact a new 'code' that highlighted their unique urban experiences, hopes and disappointment, while also serving as an explosive and infectious artistic outlet. It is the thesis of The Woozy that hip hop follows in the wake of many musical innovations created by African Americans from the bits and pieces of rhythms, chorals, chants and percussive traditions brought to the new world from Africa. African-American music has re-imagined these basic components and adapted them to form new musical forms such as negro spirituals, delta blues, folk, dixie, jazz, blues, gospel, R&B, Rock, Doo-Wop, Funk, Soul, Spoken Word, Rap,..
