Multi- platinum artist, mega-producer and ‘Anthem King' DJ Khaled will take the reins as host of the BET "Hip Hop Awards" 2016. The "I Am Hip Hop" Award returns to honor entertainment icon and legendary rapper Snoop Dogg. Highly respected with more than 20 years in the industry, Snoop continues to set trends and pave the way for both new and established artists. Snoop defines hip-hop history. He is undoubtedly one of the most recognized and respected entertainers of all time. Hailing from Long Beach, CA, Snoop began his career under the guidance of Dr. Dre and became a multi-platinum artist who set records with his seminal album Doggystyle, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold over 800,000 copies in the first week. Throughout his career, Snoop's produced chart-topping hits including "Gin & Juice," "Who Am I? (What's My Name?)," "Nuthin' But A ‘G' Thang," "Next Episode," "Beautiful," "Drop It Like It's Hot," "Signs," "Sensual Seduction" and "I Wanna Rock." He garnered chart topping success with his first album, Doggystyle (1993), which climbed its way to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's hip-hop and Top 200 charts. His sophomore album, Tha Doggfather (1996), also achieved chart topping success. He continued to top the hip-hop charts with his next two albums: Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told (1998) and No Limit Top Dogg (1999). Most recently, the West Coast Rapper released his 14th studio album COOLAID, featuring the hit single "Kush Ups" with Wiz Khalifa. Snoop's career has transcended industry lines with award-winning and multi- platinum albums and songs, as well as critically acclaimed films and television shows, including his weekly "GGN News" series on his WestFestTV YouTube channel. His philanthropic efforts are also well documented and his pioneering ventures, "Leafs by Snoop," a cannabis product line and MERRYJANE.COM, a media platform, are already business and tech industry leaders.

    NIELSEN SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT TRAVIS SCOTT ASTRONOMICAL @FORTNITE MAY 2020 Copyright © 2020 The Nielsen Company (US), LLC. Confidential and proprietary. Do not distribute. INTRODUCTION The extreme quarantine and lockdown measures have quickly become the new normal for us all. The direct impact on event attendance across entertainment and sports has caused many businesses to rethink how they can engage with their target audiences during this time. Fortnite, the online video game, has adapted to these circumstances and reinvented the concept of aggregation. Epic Games, in collaboration with Travis Scott, organized a unique musical journey inspired by the artist's influences and created from scratch within Fortnite: Astronomical. Epic Games planned a multi-date tour, with times suitable for players from all over the world, in which Travis Scott also performed a world preview song. The American artist attracted millions of people, who all tuned in via the game, in addition to various other video streaming platforms such as Youtube and Twitch, which also allowed viewers to watch the performances. As an example, the average minute audience (AMA) for this event on Epic Games’ official Twitch channel reached a total of 4.7M, with roughly half of that (2.3M) coming from live viewers during the initial event. Besides being at the forefront of reinventing entertainment formats, Fortnite continues to be a highly lucrative and well-known game. It made $1.8B* in 2019, and in Q1 2020 it remained as one of the highest- grossing and well-known gaming titles in the United States. Between March and April console and PC revenue grew 106% and the game hit an all-time high awareness level amongst the gaming community (92% awareness in the US**) showing that the event paid off.

  • Hanging in the Balance: the Lure of Nietzsche’S Apollonian And
    HANGING IN THE BALANCE: THE LURE OF NIETZSCHE’S APOLLONIAN AND DIONYSIAC IMPULSES IN KATE CHOPIN’S THE AWAKEIG by Jessica Salamin A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express her sincere thanks and love to her husband, children, and parents for their support and encouragement throughout the writing of this manuscript. iii ABSTRACT Author: Jessica Salamin Title: Hanging in the Balance: the Lure of Nietzsche’s Apollonian and Dionysiac Impulses in Kate Chopin’s The Awakening Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Johnnie Stover Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2009 This thesis represents a study of Kate Chopin’s groundbreaking novel, The Awakening . Further, it applies Nietzsche’s principles of Dionysiac and Apollonian impulses to the literary analysis of the novel. I argue that the protagonist of the novel, Edna Pontellier, embarks on a quest to determine how she may live an authentic life— that is, a life whereby she is true to her self above all others. Ultimately, her search for self is overwhelmed by the imbalance of the Apollonian and Dionysiac impulses against which she struggles. Because Edna cannot successfully mediate this struggle, she reaches the conclusion that she may only attain a truth to her self if she finds that truth in death. iv HANGING IN THE BALANCE: THE LURE OF NIETZSCHE’S APOLLONIAN AND DIONYSIAC IMPULSES IN KATE CHOPIN’S THE AWAKEIG Introduction ..........................................................................................................................1 Chapter 1: Waking from the Dream .....................................................................................7 Chapter 2: Edna, Chopin, Reisz, and Nietzsche ................................................................14 Chapter 3: Sexual Awakening and the Would-be Intervention of Dr.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Dr. Kelton Edmonds was my advisor for this project and I appreciate him helping me to study hip- hop. Dr. Susan Jasko was my advisor at California University of Pennsylvania since 2005 and encouraged me to stay in the Honors Program. Dr. Drew McGukin had the initiative to bring me to the Honors Program in the first place. I wanted to acknowledge everybody in the Honors Department (Dr. Ed Chute, Dr. Erin Mountz, Mrs. Kim Orslene, and Dr. Don Lawson). Doing a Red Hot Chili Peppers project in 2008 for Mr. Max Gonano was also very important.
