  • Artists & Artisans: a Critical Discourse Analysis of Soundcloud
    Artists & Artisans: A Critical Discourse Analysis of SoundCloud Rap By Kareem Khadr Abstract The following paper examines what sort of influence is being exerted through the discourse reproduced in one of the newest waves in the Hip-Hop/Rap genre, SoundCloud Rap. SoundCloud Rap could be categorized as one of the few competing sub-genres that opposes themes of authenticity which “gatekeepers” of original Hip-Hop/Rap attribute to the genre’s earlier days. In this paper, a close reading of the lyrics from the most listened to SoundCloud Rap songs of 2017 and 2018 is performed to determine if SoundCloud Rap demonstrates the formulaic structure and promotion of certain social practices, ideologies and themes that are characteristic of “mainstream” popular culture hegemonic products. Introduction In June 2017, The New York Times published an article revealing the newest wave in the Hip-Hop/Rap genre to a more general audience, known as SoundCloud Rap (Caramanica, 2017). SoundCloud is presented as a streaming service oriented towards musical discovery, with a low barrier of entry for aspiring artists. The new wave takes its name after the streaming service since it serves as the platform for the artists behind the most recent “vital and disruptive movement in hip-hop”. The music is described as “low-fidelity” and “insistent” referring to its substandard production quality and repetitive beats, while the artists are described as “outlandish characters” known for their face tattoos, dyed hair, high fashion streetwear and prescription drug use. The history of the Hip-Hop/Rap genre and its subsequent surrounding culture is well known.

  • Human Voice in Trap
    Mumbling, Shouting, and Singing: Listening to the (Non)Human Voice in Trap Eline Langejan, 3970078 Utrecht University Department of Media and Culture Studies RMA Musicology Thesis Thesis supervisor: Dr. Michiel Kamp Second reader: Dr. Floris Schuiling Date of submission: 17 August 2020 Mumbling, Shouting, and Singing: Listening to the (Non)Human Voice in Trap | Eline Langejan, 3970078 ​ Abstract Since the 1990s, trap has increasingly influenced mainstream popular music. The Southern-American genre is notorious for its “trap-beat” as well as a vocal style that is often derogatorily referred to as mumble-rap or mushmouth rap. This vocal style is characterized by the ​ ​ murmured lyrical delivery causing a high level of unintelligibility. Different from mainstream post-race hip hop—which Justin Burton classifies as clearly pronounced, politically engaged hip hop performed by artists such as Kendrick Lamar—trap lyricism rarely involves anything other than money, promiscuity, and excessive lifestyles. Moreover, typical trap music uses a fair amount of expressive exclamations and ad libs, for instance, the “choppa” sound: brrrah!, where the rattling r’s imitate the sound of an automatic firearm, adding to a violent and noisy sound experience for a mainstream audience that has become used to post-race hip hop (Burton 2017). The perceived sonic blackness (Eidsheim 2011) in trap, which is the perceived black body ​ in sound, urges questions about the way in which the voice can be rendered less-than-human, or even nonhuman. The sonic palette of trap deliberately invites a listening experience of blackness by making use of the sonic color line, which refers to sounds that are racialized by the listening ear in ​ ​ ​ ​ the historic context of segregation, slavery, and othering (Stoever 2016).
