HIP-HOP’S DIVERSITY AND MISPERCEPTIONS by Andrew Cashman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a Degree with Honors (Anthropology) The Honors College University of Maine August 2020 Advisory Committee: Joline Blais, Associate Professor of New Media, Advisor Kreg Ettenger, Associate Professor of Anthropology Christine Beitl, Associate Professor of Anthropology Sharon Tisher, Lecturer, School of Economics and Honors Stuart Marrs, Professor of Music 2020 Andrew Cashman All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The misperception that hip-hop is a single entity that glorifies wealth and the selling of drugs, and promotes misogynistic attitudes towards women, as well as advocating gang violence is one that supports a mainstream perspective towards the marginalized.1 The prevalence of drug dealing and drug use is not a picture of inherent actions of members in the hip-hop community, but a reflection of economic opportunities that those in poverty see as a means towards living well. Some artists may glorify that, but other artists either decry it or offer it as a tragic reality. In hip-hop trends build off of music and music builds off of trends in a cyclical manner.

  • Download Ice Cube Everything Is Corrupt Album Ice Cube :: Everythangs Corrupt
    download ice cube everything is corrupt album Ice Cube :: Everythangs Corrupt. It’s possible in 2019 that more people know O’Shea Jackson as an actor than as a rapper. I don’t have personal knowledge of how Ice Cube thinks, but I’d dare say that doesn’t bother him very much, because he wouldn’t have gone eight years between albums if it did. During that span Mr. Jackson could be seen in both “21” and “22 Jump Street” plus buddy cop comedies “Ride Along” and “Ride Along 2”, while his son could be seen portraying HIM in the based-on-a-true-story motion picture “Straight Outta Compton“. Acting is definitely in the Jackson family’s blood. Lest we forget that Cube cut his teeth creating hip-hop classics in the 1980’s and 1990’s, and continued to score hits throughout the 2000’s, Mr. Jackson is back with “Everythangs Corrupt” to prove there’s no such thing as retirement from hip-hop OR professional wrestling. The timing was initially confusing given the long drought between 2010 and 2018 before this album came out, but as the album’s opening song “Arrest the President” shows, Jackson has plenty of motivation to rap again. There’s little doubt who he’s talking about. “Let’s meet at the White House Run in and turn the lights out Man, they treat it like a traphouse Deez motherf—ers never take the trash out They just cash out and mash out Nigga take your drugs and pass out” It just goes to show that the only thing necessary to bring Ice Cube back to the mic was the most racist, vile and corrupt U.S.

  • Rappers Hip Hop Songs Targeting Presidential Elections
    Rappers Hip Hop Songs Targeting Presidential Elections Written by Davey D ID4181 Monday, 18 February 2008 23:58 - Rappers & Hip Hop Songs Targeting Presidential Elections By Hip Hop Historian Davey D With Obamania sweeping the country, people are buzzing about "Yes We Can," the song and video by Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am. It cleverly pieces together excerpts from Barack Obama's speeches, with artists and celebrities such as John Legend, Common, Kate Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger, Herbie Hancock, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Scarlett Johansson repeating the senator's words and phrases. The main hook is the Obama catch phrase "Yes We Can." Will.i.am said he was inspired to do the project by the speech Obama made just after losing the New Hampshire primary. I was present for that incredible oration, which made the crowd feel as if he actually had won. The will.i.am song is now displayed on the Obama campaign Web site. "Yes We Can" has prompted a lot of comments about a rapper finally making a song for a presidential candidate. But while "Yes We Can" is nice, it was by no means the first. During the current contest, Common, among others, has expressed his support for Obama in song lyrics, most notably in his hit song ''The People''. In the Bay Area, D''Labrie, of the national grass-roots Hip Hop Congress, and Kev Choice, the Oakland-based keyboard phenom and rapper, have recorded political songs. D''Labrie's is a remake of Mims'' smash hit, "This Is Why I''m Hot," from last summer.

Wang 00:00:08 Morgan Host And I’m Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Rhodes 00:00:10 Oliver Host Every episode, we invite a guest to join us to talk about a heat rock: an album that just burns eternally. And today, we have something for the blunted as we dive back to 1991, to talk about the debut, self-titled album by Cypress Hill. 00:00:27 Music Music “Break It Up” from the album Cypress Hill by the band Cypress Hill. Light, multilayered rap. Break it up, Cypress Hill, break it up Cypress, break it up, Cypress Hill Cypress Hill! Break it up Cypress Hill, break it up Cypress, break it up Cypress Hill Cypress Hill! Break it up Cypress Hill, break it up Cypress, break it up Cypress Hill Cypress Hill! [Music continues under the dialogue briefly, then fades out.] 00:00:39 Oliver Host The first time I ever saw Cypress Hill was at my very first hip-hop show, in San Francisco in ’91. Cypress, however, were not the headliners. That would have been the trio of 3rd Bass, then touring behind their radio single, “Pop Goes the Weasel”. Cypress Hill was the opening act, with only a slow-burn B-side, “How I Could Just Kill a Man”, to their name at the time. Of course, a few years later and this would all change.
