An Autoethnography of Scottish Hip-Hop: Identity, Locality, Outsiderdom and Social Commentary
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Napier An autoethnography of Scottish hip-hop: identity, locality, outsiderdom and social commentary Dave Hook A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 Declaration This critical appraisal is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed:_________________________________________________________ Date:______5th June 2018 ________________________________________ Dave Hook BA PGCert FHEA Edinburgh i Abstract The published works that form the basis of this PhD are a selection of hip-hop songs written over a period of six years between 2010 and 2015. The lyrics for these pieces are all written by the author and performed with hip-hop group Stanley Odd. The songs have been recorded and commercially released by a number of independent record labels (Circular Records, Handsome Tramp Records and A Modern Way Recordings) with worldwide digital distribution licensed to Fine Tunes, and physical sales through Proper Music Distribution. Considering the poetics of Scottish hip-hop, the accompanying critical reflection is an autoethnographic study, focused on rap lyricism, identity and performance. The significance of the writing lies in how the pieces collectively explore notions of identity, ‘outsiderdom’, politics and society in a Scottish context. Further to this, the pieces are noteworthy in their interpretation of US hip-hop frameworks and structures, adapted and reworked through Scottish culture, dialect and perspective.

Hip-Hop Education Center to Launch Campaign Asking President Obama
For Immediate Release Press Contact: November 3, 2015 Lily Zaballos (510) 566-0814 [email protected] Hip-Hop Education Center to launch campaign asking President Obama to designate hip-hop as valuable public school education tool; hosts first annual awards for Hip-Hop Education pioneers NEW YORK — Today, the Hip-Hop Education Center (HHEC) announces that it will launch on November 11, 2015, the We The People for Hip-Hop Education in Public Schools, a petition requesting that the Obama Administration designate Hip-Hop culture as a valuable and uniquely American national treasure worthy of being taught and practiced in all K-12 public schools. “Carlos Mare and I are excited to share what we’ve been passionately working on for the past year, we know this will be game changer in education reform and will open up opportunities for millions of children.” said HHEC Founder Martha Diaz. For the past five years, HHEC has been conducting research, evaluating programs, and convening the teachers, teaching artists, scholars, researchers, activists, and music industry professionals to research and build a Hip-Hop Education movement. Research shows that Hip-Hop programing is making a difference with student engagement and academic outcomes. HHEC believes integrating Hip-Hop into public school education could help solve the U.S. education crisis: • Students are not being engaged in school. Approximately, 1.1 million American high school students drop out every year. That’s a student every 26 seconds – or 7,000 a day. • This education crisis poses direct negative consequences to poverty, crime, and economic conditions to our society.

Loopholes for the Affluent Bankrupt
Digital Commons at St. Mary's University Faculty Articles School of Law Faculty Scholarship 2020 Loopholes for the Affluent Bankrupt David R. Hague Follow this and additional works at: https://commons.stmarytx.edu/facarticles Part of the Bankruptcy Law Commons LOOPHOLES FOR THE AFFLUENT BANKRUPT DAVID R. HAGUEt [The] rich get richer [until] the poor get educated.' - Sage Francis INTRODUCTION Recent bankruptcy cases are exposing a problem. Affluent individuals filing for bankruptcy are treated more favorably under the Bankruptcy Code than those debtors with little to no means of financial sustenance or income. Did Congress intend this result? The legislative history is unclear. But one thing seems certain: The United States Bankruptcy Code contains a set of loopholes that appear to be designed for the well-to-do segment of society. Courts throughout the United States are either overlooking these provisions or simply condoning their utilization under the de- fensible conviction that the Bankruptcy Code permits it. In this Article, I argue that the Bankruptcy Code unfairly discriminates against individuals of lower-class economic status. Specifically, I identify two loopholes-one found in Chapter 7 and one located in Chapter 11-that are arguably intended to benefit those with high incomes and significant assets. Courts need to consider whether the use of these loopholes is permitted under the Code, and if so, how they should be addressed in individual bank- ruptcy cases. The Bankruptcy Code should create a level playing field for debtors-not an oasis for the affluent. Two scenarios demonstrate that the United States Bankruptcy Code favors those with higher incomes living lavish lifestyles.

Sage Francis: on Li(F)E, Old Age, and Selling Indie Rap
Sage Francis: On Li(f)e, Old Age, and Selling Indie Rap Indie hip-hop and indie rock have always existed in seemingly parallel universes: on separate websites, in separate blogospheres, and on separate stages at the same festivals. Leave it to indie rap stalwart Sage Francis to help the two cross swords. On his fourth official solo album, entitled Li(f)e , Sage works with members of various rock groups, including Sparklehorse, Califone, Calexico, DeVotchKa, Death Cab for Cutie, and others, not to mention the fact that Iron & Wine/Modest Mouse associate Brian Deck produced the whole shebang. URB spoke to Sage about how the hell he pulled off this new LP, growing old in rap years, and how he plans to maintain his record label in an ever-weakening industry. URB: Bring me back a little. How’d you discover hip-hop? Sage Francis: Well, that was so long ago that I don’t remember, really. I have a story that I tell when people ask me that, that I think is true. It was just on the playground, tapes were floating around, I heard kids in the neighborhood playing stuff that I wasn’t familiar with—that I didn’t know was hip-hop at the time, but that’s what it was—and when eventually I decided I wanted to figure out what it was I was hearing, I was in my aunt’s house. I think it was a public service announcement came through on the television where a girl was rapping about not smoking cigarettes or something like that, and I had an adult present so I pointed it out, like, “This is what I want, I need to find this kind of music.” They didn’t really know what kind of music it was either, and my aunt kind of scowled her face and was like, “You like this?” And I was like “Yeah, this is what I like.
