BookLocker.com, Inc. 2021 (#6) The Go-Go Rappers The go-go industry was so dominant in the DC area that hip- hop music had a difficult time becoming established. So by neces- sity, the most talented rappers in DC gravitated towards the go-go scene. Many rappers during the 80’ and 90’s got their chance to shine by rapping on stage with the go-go bands. Tony Blunt, P.O.P. (Prince of Poetry), Hechinger Mall Zhigge and Fat Rodney were some of the names that dominated the go-go/rap game. On the national level, hip-hop was growing by leaps and bounds and the more records that were sold, the more hip-hop cul- ture became interlaced with popular culture.

  • UNDERNEATH the MUSIC Ellington
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: UNDERNEATH THE MUSIC Ellington Rudi Robinson, Master of Fine Arts, 2008 Directed By: Professor, Jefferson Pinder, and Department of Art I see my work as an expression of a young man growing up in a household of music, books, and highly influential people. During the crack era that becomes prevalent under the tenure of President Reagan. The influences of the past will be the guides to surviving in a time when many friends parish as victims from the abundance of violence. The influences and tragedies are translated into motifs that are metaphors combined to create forms of communication. The hardwood floors, record jackets, tape, and railroad tracks provide a catalyst. These motifs are combined and isolated to tell an intense story that is layered with the history of the Civil Rights Movement, hip hop culture, drugs and music. The work is a conduit to release years of pain dealing with loss and oppression. It is also a vehicle to celebrate the philosophy that joy and pain are synonymous with life. UNDERNEATH THE MUSIC By Ellington Rudi Robinson Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts 2008 Advisory Committee: Professor Jefferson Pinder, Chair Professor Patrick Craig Professor Margo Humphries Professor Brandon Morse Rex Weil © Copyright by Ellington Robinson 2008 Preface The smell of the coffee bean aroma surrounded by the books and music, the phone rings. “Good afternoon, thank you for calling Borders Books and Music, how can I help you?” “El!

  • Natalie Hopkinson Go-Go Live The Musical Life and Death of a Chocolate City Natalie Hopkinson
    Go-Go Live ★ The Musical Life and Death of a Chocolate City ★ Natalie Hopkinson Go-Go Live The Musical Life and Death of a Chocolate City Natalie Hopkinson “Natalie Hopkinson knows the music, the heartbeat, and the people of Washington well, but Go-Go Live: The Musical Life and Death of a Chocolate City is much more than a book about D.C.’s indigenous sound. It is a vital, lively, and ultimately inspiring look at the evolution of an American city.”—George Pelecanos, writer and producer of The Wire and Treme “Taking us into the little-studied terrain of go-go, the cousin of hip-hop born and bred in Washington, D.C.¸ Natalie Hopkinson reveals go-go as a lens for seeing, in stark colors, how the economy, politics, and especially the drug trade have traduced black communities around the world.”—Henry Louis Gates Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University Go-go is the conga drum–inflected black popular music that emerged in Washington, D.C., during the 1970s. The guitarist Chuck Brown, the “Godfather of Go-Go,” created the music by mixing sounds borrowed from church and the blues with the funk and flavor that he picked up playing for a local Latino band. Born in the inner city, amid the charred ruins of the 1968 race riots, go-go generated a distinct culture and an economy of independent, almost exclusively black-owned businesses that sold tickets to shows and recordings of live go-gos. At the peak of its popularity, in the 1980s, go-go could be heard around the capital every night of the week, on college campuses and in crumbling historic theaters, hole-in-the-wall nightclubs, backyards, and city parks.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.
