  • Confessions of Fire Cam'ron Free Mp3 Download Cam'ron
    confessions of fire cam'ron free mp3 download Cam'ron. Cameron Ezike Giles (born February 4, 1976 in Harlem, New York), better known as Cam'ron or Killa Cam, is an American rapper, actor, co- founder of Diplomat Records and of the group The Diplomats, also known as Dipset. He began his musical career in 1994, rapping alongside Big L, Mase and his cousin Bloodshed in a group called Children of the Corn. The group dissolved after Bloodshed's death in a car accident in 1997. However, Cam'ron continued to rap, and he released his solo debut album, Confessions of Fire, in 1998. He has since released 2000's S.D.E, 2002's Come Home With Me, 2004's Purple Haze, 2006's Killa Season and 2009's Crime Pays. Cam'ron made his acting debut on the 2002 film Paid in Full, where he played the character Rico, who is based on former Harlem drug dealer Alpo. In 2006, Cam'ron would return to his acting career and make his debut in screen writing in his movie Killa Season. Cam'ron plays a high school basketball player who eventually drops out of high school to begin his own drug ring. The movie was released in 2006, simultaneous with the Killa Season album. Confessions of Fire. Following in the footsteps of Sean "Puffy" Combs, Cam'ron created an accessible fusion of rap and pop that manages to keep some sort of street edge. Of course, that doesn't mean Cam'ron is hardcore -- he may come off as an East Coast gangsta, but his music is polished and melodic, much like that of Puff, his mentor.

  • Representations and Discourses of Black Motherhood in Hip Hop and REPRESENTATIONS and DISCOURSES
    Chaney and Brown: Representations and Discourses of Black Motherhood in Hip Hop and REPRESENTATIONS AND DISCOURSES . Representations and Discourses of Black Motherhood in Hip Hop and R&B over Time Cassandra Chaney and Arielle Brown This study will examine how representations and discourses regarding Black motherhood have changed in the Hip Hop and R&B genres over time. Specifically, this scholarly work will contextualize the lyrics of 79 songs (57 Hip Hop songs; 18 R&B songs; 2 songs represented the Hip Hop and R&B genre; 2 songs represented artists who produce music in 5 or 6 genres) from 1961-2015 to identify the ways that Black male and Black female artists described motherhood. Through the use of Black Feminist Theory, and by placing the production of these songs within a sociohistorical context, we provide an in-depth qualitative examination of song lyrics related to Black motherhood. Results gave evidence that representations and discourse of motherhood have been largely shaped by patriarchy as well as cultural, political, and racial politics whose primary aim was to decrease the amount of public support for poor, single Black mothers. In spite of the pathological framing of Black mothers, most notably through the “welfare queen” and “baby mama” stereotypes, a substantial number of Hip Hop and R&B artists have provided a strong counter narrative to Black motherhood by highlighting their positive qualities, acknowledging their individual and collective struggle, and demanding that these women be respected. How has patriarchy influenced the production and release of Hip Hop and R&B songs related to Black motherhood? In what ways has Hip Hop and R&B supported and challenged dominant representations and discourses surrounding Black 1 motherhood? How has Black Feminist Theory validated the experiences of Black mothers in Hip Hop and R&B? This manuscript will respond to these three questions by examining how societal changes have directly influenced how Black mothers in Hip Hop and R&B2 are intellectualized.

  • Helping Adolescent African American Males Value Education Through Mentoring in a Threatening Era D
    DON’T FALL BY THE WAYSIDE: HELPING ADOLESCENT AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES VALUE EDUCATION THROUGH MENTORING IN A THREATENING ERA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION by Olufemi Fadeyibi May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Michael W. Smith, Chair, Secondary Education, Teaching and Learning Dr. Jennifer Johnson, Higher Education, Policy, Organizational, & Leadership Studies Dr. Joseph Haviland, Secondary Education, Teaching and Learning Dr. Beth Olanoff, External Member, School Leadership, Policy, Organizational, Leadership Studies I © Copyright 2020 by Olufemi Fadeyibi All Rights Reserved II ABSTRACT The greatest and most persistent lag in academic achievement in the United States is between African American males and all other groups of students. This study was designed to investigate one possible approach to ameliorating the gap: a school-based mentoring program that helps African American males internalize a positive racial-ethnic identity regarding their academic-self competency and possible future-selves. This study 1) examined the quality of 6th grade African American young males experience in a school-based mentoring program, 2) examined the impact of the program in terms of participants’ racial-ethnic identities in their grade point averages, academic achievement, behavior, academic self-efficacy, and possible future selves. Qualitative findings showed the mentees enjoyed the mentoring program as it allowed for meaningful interactions with guest speakers and co-learning with classmates. Academic self-efficacy findings revealed the mentees grew in their understanding that academic work may be rigorous, but persistence is key. For possible future-selves, the mentees were motivated to pursue different career-paths, believed that more things were possible in life, along with being prompted to take school more seriously.

The study begins by examining the formation of social dancing into a specific brand of commercial entertainment in association with the popularity of Vernon and Irene Castle as social dancing entertainers around 1914. The Castles branded social dancing as a modern form of leisure through their exhibitions of social dancing in public, through products that were marketed with their name, in a book of illustrations for “Modern Dancing” (1914), and through Whirl of Life (1915), a film they produced about the origination of their romance and popularity as dancing entertainers.

  • Aug-Sept 1981
    Cover Photo by Ross Gadye CONTENTS KREUTZMANN and HART There are certain musicians who do not merely play an instrument—they live it. Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, drummer/percussionists with the Grateful Dead, are perfect examples. From the many hours spent practicing, to the con- stant search for new and better instruments, to the physical and mental conditioning, their lives are totally structured around their careers. Bill and Mickey share their thoughts on these matters in an MD interview that is as unique as their music. 10 JAMES BRADLEY, Jr. "You just have to believe in yourself," states James Bradley, who at age 18, became the drummer for Chuck Mangione and recorded the top-selling Feels So Good album. Having acquired his first drum set at the age of 3, James speaks with the knowledge gained from over 20 years of involvement with the drums. 14 BARRY KEANE Canadian studio drummer Barry Keane became involved with the record business by taking a job in the shipping department of a record distributor and working his way up. In addition to his recording work, Barry tours with Gordon Lightfoot, and lectures on recording at colleges in Canada. He offers practical advice on playing, teaching, and surviving in the music business. 20 THE PERCUSSIVE WORLD OF JACK VAN DER THE DRUMS OF AFRICA 26 WYK 18 CASEY SCHEUERELL: WITH FEELING 28 THE CARE AND FEEDING OF CYMBALS 23 COLUMNS: EDITOR'S OVERVIEW 2 PORTRAITS John Robinson ASK A PRO 4 by Robyn Flans 56 READER'S PLATFORM 6 STRICTLY TECHNIQUE Bass Drum Control ROCK PERSPECTIVES by Colin Bailey 62 Modular Rock by David Garibaldi PRODUCT CLOSE-UP 32 Aquarian Accessories 64 JAZZ DRUMMERS WORKSHOP by Bob Saydlowski, Jr.
