  • J Dilla and the Future of Humanity by Kyle Etges the First Time One Listens
    J Dilla and the Future of Humanity By Kyle Etges The first time one listens to the track “Swamp Thing” by Hiatus Kaiyote, your first thought might be “what the fuck am I listening to?” But then a weird thing happens: the groove envelops you, and for reasons you can’t quite articulate, your bobbing your head right along with Perrin Moss. This track, among many others from the last 20 years, is a perfect example of the wobble beat: a beat that feels like it’s constantly teetering on a complete trainwreck, and yet it gives us one of the deepest grooves found in all modern music. How can something so volatile be so much fun to listen to? The “wobble” or “Dilla” beat is not only an obvious indication of progressive neo-soul, but also a sign of a shift in our tastes in music, and our reactions to the progress of humanity itself. The wobble beat itself can be hard to describe, but as we delve further into its inner workings, it will become evident that that’s the whole idea. This drum beat is usually credited to J Dilla (aka James Dewitt Yancey), a hugely influential music producer from Detroit until his untimely death in 2006. During his career, J Dee worked with the likes of Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, The Pharcyde, and many many more, and has had a seminal impact on hip hop and neo-soul music in the 21st century. At the time of this writing, I am not sure of the specific session drummer who first laid down this complicated beat.

Contact: [email protected] Choutouts: Language contact and US-Latin hip hop on YouTube Matt Garley This paper presents a corpus-sociolinguistic analysis of lyrics and com- ments from videos for four US-Latinx hip hop songs on YouTube. A ‘post-varieties’ (Seargeant and Tagg 2011) analysis of the diversity and hybridity of linguistic production in the YouTube comments finds the notions of codemeshing and plurilingualism (Canagarajah 2009) useful in characterizing the language practices of the Chicanx community of the Southwestern US, while a focus on the linguistic practices of com- menters on Northeastern ‘core’ artists’ tracks validate the use of named language varieties in examining language attitudes and ideologies as they emerge in commenters’ discussions. Finally, this article advances the sociolinguistics of orthography (Sebba 2007) by examining the social meanings of a vast array of creative and novel orthographic forms, which often blur the supposed lines between language varieties. Keywords: Latinx, hip hop, orthography, codemeshing, language contact, language attitudes, language ideologies, computer-mediated discourse.

    Born and raised in Detroit MI, Joylette Hunter has always been attuned to the needs and challenges of the urban community, and the issues that faced social classes within the city. A product of the Detroit public school system, Joylette attended Northwestern High School and participated in several community youth programs. After graduating, she began to work in the nonprofit sector for organizations such as City of Detroit Youth Department; Safe Center, a nonprofit whose mission was to help the under privileged residents of Detroit; and the Detroit Association Of Black Organizations, a nonprofit that empowered, equipped, and served, other local organizations. Along with doing work for nonprofits, Joylette always remained a dedicated youth advocate. She spent her free time running latchkey and tutorial programs for local children and also worked in a day care. Joylette met her life partner James "J Dilla" Yancey at an early age and the two quickly became inseparable. While sharing a home with Yancey, Joylette had the privilege and duty of hosting some of Hip Hop and R&B's biggest stars at Yancey's famous home studio. Q-Tip, Dwele, Busta, Common, Slum Village, ?uestlove, Guru, and Mos Def, were among some that graced her home. Although her living room became a literal who's who in music, Joylette always remained focused on her nonprofit work and involvement in community programs.
