    MUSICAL BORROWING IN HIP-HOP MUSIC: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS AND CASE STUDIES Justin A. Williams, BA, MMus Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2009 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop Music: Theoretical Frameworks and Case Studies Justin A. Williams ABSTRACT ‗Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop‘ begins with a crucial premise: the hip-hop world, as an imagined community, regards unconcealed intertextuality as integral to the production and reception of its artistic culture. In other words, borrowing, in its multidimensional forms and manifestations, is central to the aesthetics of hip-hop. This study of borrowing in hip-hop music, which transcends narrow discourses on ‗sampling‘ (digital sampling), illustrates the variety of ways that one can borrow from a source text or trope, and ways that audiences identify and respond to these practices. Another function of this thesis is to initiate a more nuanced discourse in hip-hop studies, to allow for the number of intertextual avenues travelled within hip-hop recordings, and to present academic frameworks with which to study them. The following five chapters provide case studies that prove that musical borrowing, part and parcel of hip-hop aesthetics, occurs on multiple planes and within myriad dimensions. These case studies include borrowing from the internal past of the genre (Ch. 1), the use of jazz and its reception as an ‗art music‘ within hip-hop (Ch. 2), borrowing and mixing intended for listening spaces such as the automobile (Ch. 3), sampling the voice of rap artists posthumously (Ch. 4), and sampling and borrowing as lineage within the gangsta rap subgenre (Ch.

Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout.

  • Stagger Lee How Violent Nostalgia Created an American Folk Song Standard
    Essay Stagger Lee How Violent Nostalgia Created an American Folk Song Standard Duncan Williams University of York Tradition ist die Weitergabe des Feuers und nicht die Anbetung der Asche. ~ Attr. Gustav Mahler (1860-1911, German composer) Tradition is tending the flame, not worshipping the ashes (Translation by author) Tending the Flame There is a long tradition of storytelling in folksong. Before methods for transcribing and later for recording definitive versions existed, the oral tradition was used to pass on tales and deeds. And, as anyone familiar with ‘Chinese whispers’ will know, this process is not always accurate. Even when transcription methods had become available, the accuracy of the record can be questioned, as is the case in Sabine Bearing-Gould (1834-1924), an 18th century Anglican reverend, perhaps most famous for his earnest documentation of werewolves (Baring-Gould 1973), as well as many collections of English folk song, which were often unsurprisingly edited from the pious perspective of a religious man of the time, likely due to the collectors profession. Often, such songs are cautionary or moral tales, and thus the process of collecting and editing can change an oral history dramatically. This essay will consider how one such instance, the song Stagger Lee, reflects changing attitudes of the audience and the narrator towards violence and masculinity in its portrayal of an initially real-world, and later supernatural, violent protagonist. How, and why this paean to violence, with its fetishistic vision of extreme masculinity, has become something of a standard in the American folk canon. It considers both the retelling of Stagger Lee’s tale in song, and subsequent appropriation by cinema in depictions of race, sex, and violence as admirable or heroic qualities.

  • The Live Album Or Many Ways of Representing Performance
    Sergio Mazzanti The live album or many ways of representing ... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1417069M UDK: 78.067.26 The Live Album or Many Ways of Representing Performance Sergio Mazzanti1 University of Macerata (Macerata) Abstract The analysis of live albums can clarify the dialectic between studio recordings and live performances. After discussing key concepts such as authenticity, space, time and place, and documentation, the author gives a preliminary definition of live al- bums, combining available descriptions and comparing them with different typolo- gies and functions of these recordings. The article aims to give a new definition of the concept of live albums, gathering their primary elements: “A live album is an officially released extended recording of popular music representing one or more actually occurred public performances”. Keywords performance, rock music, live album, authenticity Introduction: recording and performance The relationship between recordings and performances is a central concept in performance studies. This topic is particularly meaningful in popular music and even more so in rock music, where the dialectic between studio recordings and live music is crucial for both artists and the audience. The cultural implications of this jux- taposition can be traced through the study of ‘live albums’, both in terms of recordings and the actual live experience. In academic stud- ies there is a large amount of literature on the relationship between recording and performance, but few researchers have paid attention to this particular

  • Nirvana Albums Mp3 Free Download Nirvana’S 20 Most Played Songs Revealed on Kurt Cobain’S Birthday; Frances Bean Remembers Her Father
    nirvana albums mp3 free download Nirvana’s 20 Most Played Songs Revealed On Kurt Cobain’s Birthday; Frances Bean Remembers Her Father. Nirvana’s legendary frontman, Kurt Cobain, passed away on April 5, 1994. The singer was born on February 20, 1967, and to celebrate what would have been the singer’s 50th birthday, music licensing group PPL has released the band’s 20 most played songs from radio and TV. Not surprisingly, Nirvana’s iconic “Smells Like Teen Spirit” tops the list of songs, followed by “Come As You Are,” “Lithium,” “Heart-Shaped Box” and “In Bloom.” And the band’s cover of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” comes in at #6. PPL’s Tim Silver said of Cobain and the band’s impact: “Kurt Cobain was one of the most visionary figures in music in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He inspired countless young people all over the world to start learning an instrument and to have the confidence to begin writing their own music,” he revealed. “On what would have been his 50th birthday, we are delighted to be able to honour him with a chart of the 20 most played Nirvana songs on radio and TV. There’re a lot of their best-known tracks in there but also one or two curveballs too,” Silver said. In addition to celebrating Cobain’s legacy, his daughter with Courtney Love, Frances Bean Cobain, paid a touching tribute to her late dad on Instagram. “Today would have been your 50th birthday. You are loved and you are missed.
