Artistic Knowledge and Performance Identity Formation in Toronto's Hip Artistic Knowledge and Performance Identity Formation in Toronto’s Hip-Hop Communities of Practice by Maria Myrtle D. Millares A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Maria Myrtle D. Millares, 2020 ii Artistic Knowledge and Performance Identity Formation in Toronto’s Hip-Hop Communities of Practice Maria Myrtle D. Millares Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This research project illustrates, through the voices of Toronto hip-hop artists, how the complex, mutually influential interactions between individuals and their communities shape and create knowledge, while encouraging the articulation of difference through unique performance identities. Their learning spaces are not institutional classrooms, but rather public spaces such as community centres, church basements, and concrete city squares, where the line between teacher and student is crossed and blurred. I employ narrative methodology as a means of obtaining the rich accounts necessary to illuminate these community-based learning processes. Hip-hop’s history is passed on orally and aurally as artists cultivate their craft. Artists’ personal stories are essential to the way hip-hop’s history, together with its teaching philosophies, are internalized and passed on in community spaces. Narratives elicited through interviews, conducted as dialogue, have the potential to more respectfully trace these individual-communal relationships. As such, the body of my data consists of the narratives of three Toronto hip-hop artists – B-boy Jazzy Jester, DJ Ariel, and MC LolaBunz – presented and interpreted according to the themes or moments that they have voiced as significant to the development of their skills and of their performance identities. iii The narratives presented here show the dialogic relationship between musical creativity and identity- building, resulting in embodied, performed expressions of an engagement with the tensions of lived experience. Each artist reveals their personal engagement with layers of normative discourses that are constantly at play, accepted, rejected, and creatively manipulated to fashion one’s own performance identity expressed as style. Keywords: hip-hop; Toronto hip-hop; Canadian hip-hop; urban music; popular music; informal learning; narrative methodology; musical culture; performativity; Signifyin(g), performance identity, artist identity; music education iv Acknowledgments When I asked my dad, Osmundo, for a piano at the age of 5, there is no way I could have imagined what music would allow me to learn about my place in the world, nor the connections music would allow me make. My mom, Jenny, was always listening to my progress, no matter what she was busy with. Both of them nurtured my musical development and saw to it that I had my own piano once again soon after we moved to Canada from the Philippines. They attended every performance and every competition, not knowing, perhaps, that they were supporting a core aspect of who I would come to be. While the piano repertoire I learned was of the Western classical tradition, my Uncle George, Auntie Gina, and Auntie Judy, who lived with us, had pop on the radio the whole day. It’s no wonder then, that my brothers, Kent and Vince, picked up the guitar and drums, respectively, leaning more toward more popular genres. I’ll never forget the one time we all played Guns N’ Roses’s “November Rain” in our living room – our only ensemble performance. These musics and the occasional Philippine folk tune continue to feed my curiosity for different sounds and the communities that make them. All this to say that this project would likely never have happened without my family. The scholarly world presented me with opportunities to ask about sounds and communities and I’d like to thank the teachers that helped me on this journey at the University of Toronto. First, to Boyanna Toyich, who passed away last year, for encouraging me to audition for Piano Pedagogy and Performance, which eventually resulted in combination graduate studies in Music Education and Piano Pedagogy. The piano has always been a way for me to “voice” the thoughts I usually keep quiet, and so I treasure Dr. Midori Koga’s guidance toward a more embodied sound at the instrument so that I could be at ease with myself. When music-making eventually gave way to research for this Doctoral project, Dr. Lee Bartel’s pointed reminders about keeping to the trajectory of my inquiry helped me keep my data within the bounds of my questions. Who knows what unmanageable paths I might have tread through pages and pages of interviews. Dr. Jeff Packman provided incisive feedback that clarified my concepts and critiqued what I might have otherwise taken for granted. During the last stretch of this Doctoral journey, I am additionally grateful to Dr. Nasim Niknafs, and Dr. Mary Fogarty Woehrel, who provided the fresh perspectives and commentary crucial to the final sculpting of the work presented v here. At every turn through all these years, my supervisor, Dr. Lori-Anne Dolloff held me to the care and rigour required to sensitively navigate narrative inquiry. Most importantly, she generously listened to my own stories, from the light-hearted to the immensely difficult, in order to see me through to the completion of this milestone. As Dr. Thomas King wrote in The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative, “The truth about stories is that that’s all we are” (2003, p. 2). My heartfelt gratitude goes out to those who generously gave of their selves to this project – Abdominal, Skyboxx, LolaBunz, Benzo, Jazzy Jester, JuLo, Dopey, Andy B Bad, and Ariel – your insights and knowledge are invaluable. I hear your voices in my head when I read your words and I hope what I have re-presented here are true to the sincere reflections you have shared with me. A big shout out to the Streetdance Academy crew: Miss Maehem, Rowdy B, Chuie, Doogie, King Josh. Remember when I did 37 rounds while almost two months pregnant? I knew that if I could do that without dying, I could finish this thesis! Breaking is where my interest in hip-hop started, so I’d also like to acknowledge the Toronto b-girls and b-boys who first showed me, though they were not aware, the various facets of this Toronto community. It was a sound foundation from which I will continue to explore the creativity and complexity of Hip-Hop Culture. And finally, to Matt and Freya, you have both shown me life in very different ways. Matt (“Doogie”), your excitement about breaking began this whole project, and your appreciation for that patch of moss reminds me of the infinitely small beauty of the earth. But what I am most thankful for is your enduring strength and your unwavering commitment to the very do-able ways of making the world better. To our fierce Sparrow, this work is an expression of hope that you will grow through a world increasingly willing to break boundaries and to enact ideas toward the realization of a complex and deep kindness. vi Table of Contents Acknowledgments ....................................................................................................................... iv Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................ vi Chapter 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................. 1 1 I wanna be a b-girl ................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Research problem ............................................................................................................. 2 1.1.1 What is hip-hop? ................................................................................................... 2 1.1.2 Hip-hop and education .......................................................................................... 4 1.2 Exploring performance identity ......................................................................................... 5 1.3 Research questions ............................................................................................................ 5 1.4 Methodology and methods ................................................................................................ 6 1.5 Interview data analysis ...................................................................................................... 6 1.6 Potential impact on music education.................................................................................. 7 1.7 Key terms ......................................................................................................................... 8 1.8 Chapter overview .............................................................................................................. 9 Chapter 2 Literature Review ....................................................................................................... 11 2 Introduction .......................................................................................................................... 11 2.1 Hip-hop: Art and politics ................................................................................................. 11 2.2 A culture called hip-hop .................................................................................................. 12 2.3 Hip-hop for social change ...............................................................................................

  • The B-Boy Summit Internationally Acclaimed B-Boy/B-Girl Event
    THE B-BOY SUMMIT INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED B-BOY/B-GIRL EVENT Produced by No Easy Props OVERVIEW The B-boy Summit continues to be a major trendsetter in Hip-Hop street dance, art and music culture. Established in 1994, The Summit presented innovative ideas in Hip-Hop culture, offering a conference forum complete with competitions, performances, panels, workshops, and a marketplace for consumer friendly products marketed toward the Hip-Hop community. Never content with success, The B-boy Summit continues its mission to bring the hottest street dance, art, and music above ground to the masses. The B-boy Summit has grown into an internationally acclaimed 3 day festival incorporating all aspects of Hip-Hop in different plateaus, including the most intense battles, rawest circles, theatre performances, a DJ/MC Talent Showcase and live aerosol art painting. The B-boy Summit was created in 1994 out of the need for a community orientated Hip-Hop event that encompassed knowledge of the history of Hip-Hop culture and the skills of B-boying and B-girling. At that point in time B-boys and B-girls didn’t have a platform in which to come together, dance and pay homage to the traditional dance of Hip-Hop. Each year the event has expanded to encompass B-boys, B-girls, MCs, Aerosol Artists, and DJs from across the globe, steadily building into what is now the foremost Hip-Hop cultural event in the world. More recently, The Summit has become one of the most important events for Lockers, Poppers, Freestyle and House Dancers to take part in during The Summit’s Funk Fest.

  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

  • Spotlight on Social Learning February 2021: Respect Month
    Spotlight on Social Learning February 2021: Respect Month This February we are celebrating Black History Month at Sistema Toronto by exploring our Social Curriculum theme, Respect. In the year that has passed since last February, we have seen the twin pandemics of racism and COVID-19 wreck disproportionate devastation in Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities, and seen the incredible lengths that people will go to do maintain our unjust and unequitable society. The Black Lives Matter protests that surged onto the streets in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in May 2020 provoked people all over the world to deepen their commitment to the fight for equality and respect and against racism, and to confront the unjust realities that surround us. For educators, hoping to help our students understand the systemic injustices of the present and the history that brought us to this point, these subjects can be challenging. For musicians, trying to make sense of artistic traditions that were shaped by practices and attitudes we now consider monstrous, it can be scary to confront the past. Classical musicians in particular are beginning to confront the reality that our art form has been deeply affected by white-supremacist ideas that have excluded composers of colour and dismissed their work as less “serious” than that of their white contemporaries. Learning about the harms perpetrated by people, institutions, and ideas that we once admired can be difficult, even painful. But for every statue that must be toppled, every tradition that must be re-examined, there are new ideas to be explored, and new heroes to be celebrated.

  • DJ Skills the Rise of the Hip-Hop DJ 3
    The Rise of the Hip-Hop DJ 1 74 The Rise of The Hip-hop DJ DJs were Hip-hop’s original architects, and remain crucial to its contin- ued development. Hip-hop is more than a style of music; it’s a culture. As with any culture, there are various artistic expressions of Hip-hop, the four principal expressions being: • visual art (graffiti) • dance (breaking, rocking, locking, and popping, collectively known in the media as “break dancing”) • literature (rap lyrics and slam poetry) • music (DJing and turntablism) Unlike the European Renaissance or the Ming Dynasty, Hip-hop is a culture that is very much alive and still evolving. Some argue that Hip-hop is the most influential cultural movement in history, point- ing to the globalization of Hip-hop music, fashion, and other forms of expression. Style has always been at the forefront of Hip-hop. Improvisation is called free styling, whether in rap, turntablism, breaking, or graf- fiti writing. Since everyone is using the essentially same tools (spray paint for graffiti writers, microphones for rappers and beat boxers, their bodies for dancers, and two turntables with a mixer for DJs), it’s the artists’ personal styles that set them apart. It’s no coincidence that two of the most authentic movies about the genesis of the move- ment are titled Wild Style and Style Wars. There are also many styles of writing the word “Hip-hop.” The mainstream media most often oscillates between “hip-hop” and “hip hop.” The Hiphop Archive at Harvard writes “Hiphop” as one word, 2 DJ Skills The Rise of the Hip-Hop DJ 3 with a capital H, embracing KRS-ONE’s line of reasoning that “Hiphop Kool DJ Herc is a culture with its own foundation narrative, history, natives, and 7 In 1955 in Jamaica, a young woman from the parish of Saint Mary mission.” After a great deal of input from many people in the Hip-hop community, I’ve decided to capitalize the word but keep the hyphen, gave birth to a son who would become the father of Hip-hop.

Mary Fogarty Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary MA in Popular Culture Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © November 2006 For my sister, Pauline 111 Acknowledgements The Canada Graduate Scholarship (SSHRC) enabled me to focus full-time on my studies. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my committee members: Andy Bennett, Hans A. Skott-Myhre, Nick Baxter-Moore and Will Straw. These scholars have shaped my ideas about this project in crucial ways. I am indebted to Michael Zryd and Francois Lukawecki for their unwavering kindness, encouragement and wisdom over many years. Steve Russell patiently began to teach me basic rules ofgrammar. Barry Grant and Eric Liu provided comments about earlier chapter drafts. Simon Frith, Raquel Rivera, Anthony Kwame Harrison, Kwande Kefentse and John Hunting offered influential suggestions and encouragement in correspondence. Mike Ripmeester, Sarah Matheson, Jeannette Sloniowski, Scott Henderson, Jim Leach, Christie Milliken, David Butz and Dale Bradley also contributed helpful insights in either lectures or conversations. AJ Fashbaugh supplied the soul food and music that kept my body and mind nourished last year. If AJ brought the knowledge then Matt Masters brought the truth. (What a powerful triangle, indeed!) I was exceptionally fortunate to have such noteworthy fellow graduate students. Cole Lewis (my summer writing partner who kept me accountable), Zorianna Zurba, Jana Tomcko, Nylda Gallardo-Lopez, Seth Mulvey and Pauline Fogarty each lent an ear on numerous much needed occasions as I worked through my ideas out loud.

  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

  • “Rapper's Delight”
    1 “Rapper’s Delight” From Genre-less to New Genre I was approached in ’77. A gentleman walked up to me and said, “We can put what you’re doing on a record.” I would have to admit that I was blind. I didn’t think that somebody else would want to hear a record re-recorded onto another record with talking on it. I didn’t think it would reach the masses like that. I didn’t see it. I knew of all the crews that had any sort of juice and power, or that was drawing crowds. So here it is two years later and I hear, “To the hip-hop, to the bang to the boogie,” and it’s not Bam, Herc, Breakout, AJ. Who is this?1 DJ Grandmaster Flash I did not think it was conceivable that there would be such thing as a hip-hop record. I could not see it. I’m like, record? Fuck, how you gon’ put hip-hop onto a record? ’Cause it was a whole gig, you know? How you gon’ put three hours on a record? Bam! They made “Rapper’s Delight.” And the ironic twist is not how long that record was, but how short it was. I’m thinking, “Man, they cut that shit down to fifteen minutes?” It was a miracle.2 MC Chuck D [“Rapper’s Delight”] is a disco record with rapping on it. So we could do that. We were trying to make a buck.3 Richard Taninbaum (percussion) As early as May of 1979, Billboard magazine noted the growing popularity of “rapping DJs” performing live for clubgoers at New York City’s black discos.4 But it was not until September of the same year that the trend gar- nered widespread attention, with the release of the Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” a fifteen-minute track powered by humorous party rhymes and a relentlessly funky bass line that took the country by storm and introduced a national audience to rap.
