    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

  • Digitale Disconnectie Voor De La Soul
    juridisch Digitale disconnectie dreigt voor hiphopgroep De La Soul Stakes Is High Bjorn Schipper Met de lancering op Netflix van de nieuwe hitserie The Get Down staat de opkomst van hiphop weer volop in de belangstelling. Tegen de achtergrond van de New Yorkse wijk The Bronx in de jaren ’70 krijgt de kijker een beeld van hoe discomuziek langzaam plaatsmaakte voor hiphop en hoe breakdancen en deejayen in zwang raakten. Een hiphopgroep die later furore maakte is De La Soul. In een tijd waarin digitale exploitatie volwassen is geworden en de online-mogelijkhe- den haast eindeloos zijn, werd onlangs bekend dat voor De La Soul juist digitale disconnectie dreigt met een nieuwe generatie (potentiële) fans1. In deze bijdrage ga ik in op de bizarre digi- tale problemen van De La Soul en laat ik zien dat ook andere artiesten hiermee geconfronteerd kunnen worden. De La Soul: ‘Stakes Is High’ Net als andere hiphopalbums2 bevatten de albums van De New Yorkse hiphopgroep De La Soul bestaat De La Soul vele samples. Dat bleef juridisch niet zon- uit Kelvin Mercer, David Jude Jolicoeur en Vincent der gevolgen en zorgde voor kopzorgen in verband met Mason. De La Soul brak in 1989 direct door met het het clearen van de gebruikte samples. Niet zo vreemd album 3 Feet High and Rising en kreeg vooral door ook als we bedenken dat in die tijd weinig jurispruden- de tekstuele inhoud en het gekleurde hoesontwerp al tie bestond over (sound)sampling. Zo kreeg De La Soul snel een hippie-achtig imago aangemeten. Met hun het na de release in 1989 van 3 Feet High and Rising vaste producer Prince Paul bewees De La Soul dat er aan de stok met de band The Turtles.

The words and rhymes of hip hop identify what has arguably become the one cultural institution that urban youth rely on for honesty (keeping it real) and leadership. In 1996, there were 19 million young people aged 10-14 years old and 18.4 million aged 15-19 years old living in the US (1996 U.S. Census Bureau). According to a national Gallup poll of adolescents aged 13-17 (Bezilla 1993) since 1992, rap music has become the preferred music of youth (26%), followed closely by rock (25%). Though hip hop artists often rap about the range of adolescent confusion, desire and angst, at hip hop’s core is the commitment and vision of youth who are agitated, motivated and willing to confront complex and powerful institutions and practices to improve their 2 world.

  • 3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (Guest Post)*
    “3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (guest post)* De La Soul For hip-hop, the late 1980’s was a tinderbox of possibility. The music had already raised its voice over tensions stemming from the “crack epidemic,” from Reagan-era politics, and an inner city community hit hard by failing policies of policing and an underfunded education system--a general energy rife with tension and desperation. From coast to coast, groundbreaking albums from Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” to N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton” were expressing an unprecedented line of fire into American musical and political norms. The line was drawn and now the stage was set for an unparalleled time of creativity, righteousness and possibility in hip-hop. Enter De La Soul. De La Soul didn’t just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in. If the preceding generation took hip-hop from the park jams and revolutionary commentary to lay the foundation of a burgeoning hip-hop music industry, De La Soul was going to take that foundation and flip it. The kids on the outside who were a little different, dressed different and had a sense of humor and experimentation for days. In 1987, a trio from Long Island, NY--Kelvin “Posdnous” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Plug Three” Mason—were classmates at Amityville Memorial High in the “black belt” enclave of Long Island were dusting off their parents’ record collections and digging into the possibilities of rhyming over breaks like the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” all the while immersing themselves in the imperfections and dust-laden loops and interludes of early funk and soul albums.

  • 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.

  • Article on Conscious Hip Hop
    Article on Conscious Hip Hop Excerpt From De La Soul Article By Sheryl Garret, Sunday Times (London), July 1996 In 1989, De La Soul's debut album Three Feet High And Rising was hailed by New York's Village Voice as "the Sergeant Pepper of hip hop". The 24 short but sweet tracks rapped about everything from dandruff to their so-called Daisy Age philosophy, but the quirky humour and catchy hooks hid a more serious intent that may have got lost in the face of the album's massive commercial success. Along with the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul were part of a loose organisation called Native Tongues, a hip hop collective based around zany humour, eclectic samples and, most of all, positive vibes. Hip hop meanwhile became dominated by the West Coast sound known as gangsta rap – a verbal cocktail of violence, sexism, guns, drugs and money. On the phone from the US, De La Soul's main spokesman Pos (Kelvin Mercer) says they're reluctant to be seen as a kind of "hip hop police", but admits they took a back-to-basics approach this time because "there are a lot of messages that we wanted to put across to the people, and if you want to teach something, you can't present eleventh- or twelfth-grade material to ninth-grade students". The problem, [Pos] points out, is that … one man's poetry is another's obscenity. If it were left to politicians, many would favour silencing all rap as an inconvenient articulation of black experience.

  • Virtuella Artister På Scen Virtual Music Artists on Stage
    Virtuella artister på scen Samspelet mellan artisterna och publiken i livekonsertvideor Virtual music artists on stage The interaction of artists and the audience in live concert videos Hella Selle Designprojekt: Find Me Grafisk design Examensarebte på kandidatnivå, 30 hp VT 2020 Handledare design: Oskar Aspman Handledare uppsats: Åsa Harvard-Maare Abstract Denna studie är en inventering av tre lösningar till hur det digitala kan sättas in i ett livekonsertsammanhang, med hjälp av bland annat AR. Studien undersöker genom en videoanalys, de tre virtuella artisterna Gorillaz, Hatsune Miku och K/DAs liveuppträdanden. Tre konsertvideor från ett särskilt tillfälle med motsvarande musikvideo användes som material för analysen. Utifrån frågeställningen undersöks hur de olika semiotiska fälten samspelar, samt ett avsnitt där sambandet mellan grafisk design och AR diskuteras. Frågorna som studien fokuserat på är hur den digitala aspekten av en virtuell artist återges vid livekonserten, samt hur den virtuella artisten kan interagera med såväl levande musiker som med publiken. Analysen visar att alla tre exempel interagerar med publiken i olika mån. Hur den digitala artisten tolkas och återges vid en livekonsert löses genom olika teknologier och med olika metoder. Trots de tydliga skillnaderna har de en sak gemensamt: trots att artisten är virtuell gör samspelet med publiken konsertupplevelsen verklig. sökord augmented reality, Gorillaz, grafisk design, Hatsune Miku, K/DA, semiotiska fält, videoanalys, virtuella artister Innehållsförteckning 1 Inledning
