Black Boy Meets World defines his maturation process as a man and the roads that have split out from this path. “This whole album is me telling my story from my perspective,” explains Danny Watts. “Everyone goes through their own unique experiences in life that forces them to really understand how the world operates. You either allow yourself to succumb to the pressures of life or just find the strength to make the best of your environment. Writing this album helped me realize how some lessons in life are inescapable. I spent my whole life telling myself that I would never end up like certain people. Thinking that I was better than a lot of people because a part of me felt and thought differently from most of my peers. Then I ended up finding myself in those same situations that I just knew for sure that I wouldn’t end up in.” PROUDLY DISTRIBUTED BY FAT BEATS DISTRIBUTION | 8920 ETON AVE.

  • RIGHTS CLAIMS THROUGH MUSIC a Study on Collective Identity and Social Movements
    RIGHTS CLAIMS THROUGH MUSIC A study on collective identity and social movements Dzeneta Sadikovic Department of Global and Political Studies Human Rights III (MR106S) Bachelor thesis, 15hp 15 ETC, Fall/2019 Supervisor: Dimosthenis Chatzoglakis Abstract This study is an analysis of musical lyrics which express oppression and discrimination of the African American community and encourage potential action for individuals to make a claim on their rights. This analysis will be done methodologically as a content analysis. Song texts are examined in the context of oppression and discrimination and how they relate to social movements. This study will examine different social movements occurring during a timeline stretching from the era of slavery to present day, and how music gives frame to collective identities as well as potential action. The material consisting of song lyrics will be theoretically approached from different sociological and musicological perspectives. This study aims to examine what interpretative frame for social change is offered by music. Conclusively, this study will show that music functions as an informative tool which can spread awareness and encourage people to pressure authorities and make a claim on their Human Rights.

  • The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap
    Open Cultural Studies 2018; 2: 122–135 Research Article Adam de Paor-Evans* The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2018-0012 Received January 27, 2018; accepted June 2, 2018 Abstract: In the early 1980s, an important facet of hip hop culture developed a style of music known as electro-rap, much of which carries narratives linked to science fiction, fantasy and references to arcade games and comic books. The aim of this article is to build a critical inquiry into the cultural and socio- political presence of these ideas as drivers for the productions of electro-rap, and subsequently through artists from Newcleus to Strange U seeks to interrogate the value of science fiction from the 1980s to the 2000s, evaluating the validity of science fiction’s place in the future of hip hop. Theoretically underpinned by the emerging theories associated with Afrofuturism and Paul Virilio’s dromosphere and picnolepsy concepts, the article reconsiders time and spatial context as a palimpsest whereby the saturation of digitalisation becomes both accelerator and obstacle and proposes a thirdspace-dromology. In conclusion, the article repositions contemporary hip hop and unearths the realities of science fiction and closes by offering specific directions for both the future within and the future of hip hop culture and its potential impact on future society. Keywords: dromosphere, dromology, Afrofuturism, electro-rap, thirdspace, fantasy, Newcleus, Strange U Introduction During the mid-1970s, the language of New York City’s pioneering hip hop practitioners brought them fame amongst their peers, yet the methods of its musical production brought heavy criticism from established musicians.

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.

    # 1/08 JAN|FEB KAPU ZINE EDITORIAL Salut! Ich spar mir an dieser Stelle den obligatorischen Jahresrückblick! Straight forward lautet die Devise und ich persönlich freu mich auf das kommende Jahr. Programmatisch starten wir mit einer, meiner Meinung nach, durchaus gelungenen Mischung. Neben einigen internationalen Acts, auf die ihr euch schon freuen könnt, kommen auch österreichische und vor allem Linzer MusikerInnen nicht zu kurz, die mindestens die gleiche Aufmerksamkeit verdienen. Zum ersten mal wird Ende Fe- bruar das O-Heim-Mini-Winter-Festival stattfinden. Stationen sind die STWST und die KAPU, die sich neben dem Verein „Open Air Ottensheim“ fürs Programm ver- antwortlich zeigen. Aber das Programm könnt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten ja in aller Ruhe nachlesen. Was passiert ansonsten in der neuen KAPU-Saison? Jahreswechsel ziehen ja meist große Vorsätze und Pläne mit sich. Das ist bei uns nicht anders. Ein Bisschen sei schon mal verraten... Wir sind wie immer voller Wahnsinnsideen und Tatendrang! Für den Jahresanfang stehen zwei Projekte an. Einerseits wird die KAPUtique ihr virtuelles Dahinsiechen endgültig hinter sich lassen und in neuem Glanze im ehemaligen Fiftitu%-Büro im 1. Stock auferstehen. Das Ganze wird natürlich gebührend gefeiert; doch mehr dazu weiter hinten. Ebenfalls geplant ist eine „offene KünstlerInnenwerkstätte“; einen genauen Zeitplan dafür gibt es leider bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht. Doch was nicht ist, das kann noch werden. Gebt uns noch ein wenig Zeit und dann werdet ihr auch über Details und Nutzungsmöglichkeiten umgehend informiert (KAPUzine LeseInnen sind ja immer vorn dabei! Auch wenn es diesmal etwas später kommt, doch auch DruckerInnen verdienen Feier- tagsurlaub.) Ebenfalls in Planung ist ein neuer KAPU-Sampler; die ersten Bands sind angeheuert, die Diskussion um den Titel ist nach kämpferischen Aus- einandersetzungen abgeschlossen und wir sind gespannt, wer aller seinen/Ihren Weg auf diese kleine silberne Scheibe findet.
