Abbey Road Studios is most notable as being the venue in the 1960s for innovative recording techniques adopted by the Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Hollies, Badfinger, and others. One of its earliest world famous artist clients was Paul Robeson, who recorded in December 1931 and went on to record many of his best known songs there. Descriptions on wall.

Hip Hop. 1520 Sedgwick Avenue is a 102-unit apartment building in the Morris Heights neighborhood in The Bronx borough of New York City. Recognized as a long-time "haven for working-class families," in 2010 The New York Times reported that it is the accepted birthplace of hip hop. After a long period of neglect and shady dealings in the 1990s and 2000s the building has been "highlighted by elected officials and tenant advocates as an emblem of New York’s affordable housing crisis." Senator Charles E. Schumer called the building "the birthplace of predatory equity", and Representative José E. Serrano, speaking of the building's recent purchase, called it, "such a visible building." On July 5, 2007, 1520 Sedgwick Avenue was recognized by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation as the birthplace of hip hop. Level divider. Star House Refurb.

Biro. Bíró was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1899 into a Jewish family. He presented the first production of the ballpoint pen at the Budapest International Fair in 1931. While working as a journalist in Hungary, he noticed that the ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge-free. He tried using the same ink in a fountain pen but found that it would not flow into the tip, as it was too viscous. Working with his brother György,[1] a chemist, he developed a new tip consisting of a ball that was free to turn in a socket, and as it turned it would pick up ink from a cartridge and then roll to deposit it on the paper. Bíró patented the invention in Paris in 1938. Descriptions on wall. Star House Refurb. Thanks. You’re a star. Star House Refurb. Star House Refurb..

  • Why Hip Hop Began in the Bronx- Lecture for C-Span
    Fordham University DigitalResearch@Fordham Occasional Essays Bronx African American History Project 10-28-2019 Why Hip Hop Began in the Bronx- Lecture for C-Span Mark Naison Follow this and additional works at: https://fordham.bepress.com/baahp_essays Part of the African American Studies Commons, American Popular Culture Commons, Cultural History Commons, and the Ethnomusicology Commons Why Hip Hop Began in the Bronx- My Lecture for C-Span What I am about to describe to you is one of the most improbable and inspiring stories you will ever hear. It is about how young people in a section of New York widely regarded as a site of unspeakable violence and tragedy created an art form that would sweep the world. It is a story filled with ironies, unexplored connections and lessons for today. And I am proud to share it not only with my wonderful Rock and Roll to Hip Hop class but with C-Span’s global audience through its lectures in American history series. Before going into the substance of my lecture, which explores some features of Bronx history which many people might not be familiar with, I want to explain what definition of Hip Hop that I will be using in this talk. Some people think of Hip Hop exclusively as “rap music,” an art form taken to it’s highest form by people like Tupac Shakur, Missy Elliot, JZ, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Wu Tang Clan and other masters of that verbal and musical art, but I am thinking of it as a multilayered arts movement of which rapping is only one component.

  • The Historical Roots of Hip Hop Overview
    THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF HIP HOP OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION What are the historical roots of Hip Hop? OVERVIEW Hip Hop emerged directly out of the living conditions in America’s inner cities in the 1970s, particularly the South Bronx region of New York City. As a largely white, middle-class population left urban areas for the suburbs in the 1950s and 1960s—a phenomenon known as “white flight”— the demographics of communities such as the Bronx shifted rapidly. The Bronx, one of New York City’s five “boroughs,” became populated mainly by Blacks and Hispanics, including large immigrant populations from Caribbean nations including Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and others. Simultaneous with the “white flight,” social and economic disruptions abounded. Construction on the Cross Bronx Expressway, which began in the postwar period and continued into the early 1970s, decimated several of the minority neighborhoods in its path; city infrastructure was allowed to crumble in the wake of budget cuts, hitting the less privileged parts of the city most directly; and strikes organized by disaffected blue-collar workers crippled the entire metropolitan area. Amidst the higher crime and rising poverty rates that came with urban decay, young people in the South Bronx made use of limited resources to create cultural expressions that encompassed not only music, but also dance, visual art, and fashion. In music, Latin and Caribbean traditions met and mingled with the sounds of sixties and seventies Soul, Disco, and Funk. The venues for the emerging art of Hip Hop were public parks and community recreation centers, sheets of cardboard laid out on city sidewalks became dance floors, and brick walls were transformed into artists’ canvases.

  • Sampling: the Foundation of Hip Hop Overview
    SAMPLING: THE FOUNDATION OF HIP HOP OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How is the re-use and re-purposing of existing music at the heart of the Hip Hop recording experience? OVERVIEW In many ways Hip Hop is quintessentially American music. It was first created in the Bronx, NY, a borough of New York City that at the time was economically depressed, dangerous and mostly forsaken by the local government. The pioneers of Hip Hop, young people of color living in struggling communities and limited in their opportunities, embraced modern music technologies (first turntables, then drum machines and later samplers) but used them creatively, often in ways their manufacturers never intended. Indeed, the origin story of Hip Hop is one of opening doors that seemed tightly shut. To many listeners, the first commercial rap releases were surprising, something that seemed new, even unexpected. Many of the early rappers who performed at the block parties that spawned the genre had not themselves conceived of Hip Hop as something one could record and sell. For instance, in Soundbreaking Episode 6 Public Enemy’s Chuck D recalls that before the Sugar Hill Gang’s breakthrough release, “we couldn’t even imagine a rap record.” However, as radical as it sounded to the average American listener in 1980, Hip Hop had deep connections to African- American and Afro-Caribbean music traditions in its performance style and in its use of turntables and prerecorded material as the primary “instrument” in the band. In this lesson students explore the creative concepts and technological practices on which Hip Hop music was constructed, investigating what it means to “sample” from another style, who has used sampling and how.

  • Migration and Musical Creativity in Bronx Neighbourhoods
    NAISON, Mark (2010), “Migration and musical creativity in Bronx Neighbourhoods”, in CÔR- TE-REAL, Maria de São José (ed.), Migrações Journal - Special Issue Music and Migration, October 2010, no. 7, Lisbon: ACIDI, pp. 203-212 Migration and musical creativity in Bronx Neighbourhoods Mark Naison* Abstract This article connects musical life with urban housing policy in Bronx neighbourhoods for the last six decades. Most of the early Bronx hip-hop jams, led by pioneering DJs like Kool Herc, Afri- ka Bambatta, Charley Chase, and Disco King Mario took place in the community centres and public spaces of Bronx housing pro- ject and subsidized middle income housing developments created under the Mitchell Lama program. The Bronx’s legacy of musical creativity was not only a reflection of the immigrants and migrants who came into its neighbourhoods it was fostered by enlightened government policies which created affordable housing for the Bronx’s working class and middle class residents of the borough. It is my argument that culture is political, and that cultural creati- vity is responsive to government initiatives ranging from liberali- sed immigration laws to the construction of affordable housing.

Hip-Hop and Housing: Revisiting Culture, Urban Space, Power, and Law LISA T. ALEXANDER* U.S. housing law is finally receiving its due attention. Scholars and practitionersare focused primarily on the subprime mortgage and foreclosure crises. Yet the current recession has also resurrected the debate about the efficacy of place-based lawmaking. Place-based laws direct economic resources to low-income neighborhoods to help existing residentsremain in place and to improve those areas. Law-and-economists and staunch integrationists attack place-based lawmaking on economic and social grounds. This Article examines the efficacy of place-based lawmaking through the underutilized prism of culture. Using a sociolegal approach,it develops a theory of cultural collective efficacy as a justificationfor place-based lawmaking.

  • Hip Hop History: from the Streets to the Mainstream by Rory Pq | Published November 13, 2019 | Updated November 25, 2019
    HIP HOP HISTORY: FROM THE STREETS TO THE MAINSTREAM BY RORY PQ | PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 13, 2019 | UPDATED NOVEMBER 25, 2019 From the street corner to the world stage, hip hop has grown into one of the world’s most prominent musical genres and cultural influences. Explore significant events in hip hop history and its explosive evolution. WHAT IS HIP HOP Hip hop is more than music; it’s a cultural movement that incorporates different elements of art. Four foundational elements characterize hip hop culture. The original four main pillars of hip hop include DJing/turntablism, MCing/rapping, B- boying/breaking, and visual/graffiti art. These forms of expression have also developed into further subcultures with lasting legacies. “Rap is something you do; hip hop is something you live.”KRS One The intersection of these four elements also generated a cultural revolution that rapidly spread across the globe. The global influence of hip hop culture has shaped music styles, fashion, technology, art, entertainment, language, dance, education, politics, media, and more. To this day, hip hop continues to be a global phenomenon, developing new art forms that impact the lives of new and old generations. HIP HOP CULTURE ORIGINS Hip hop is a subculture and an art movement that emerged from the Bronx in New York City during the early 1970s. Its development reflected the negative effects of post- industrial decline, political discourse, and a rapidly changing economy. Looking back to New York City during this era, we see an economic collapse. The city’s economy was falling apart due to the decline of the manufacturing industry and construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway.

  • A Hip Hop Enthusiast from New York City Has Always Heard That 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx Is the Birthplace of Hip Hop
    Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation A4003: Core Studio 3, Fall 2015 States of Housing Hilary Sample, Coordinator Housing Studio Galia Solomonoff, Studio Critic, [email protected] Alejandro Stein, Teaching Assistant, [email protected] Consider a positive: “A hip hop enthusiast from New York City has always heard that 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx is the birthplace of hip hop. The story goes that on August 11, 1973 DJ Kool Herc, a building resident, was entertaining at his sister’s back to school party, and tried something new on the turntable; he extended a instrumental beat (breaking and scratching) to let people dance longer (break dancing) and began MC’ing (rapping) during the extended break-dancing. This, the contributor believes, marked the birth of hip hop. The music led to an entire cultural movement that’s altered generational thinking – from politics and race to art and language.” Tufuku Zuberi, PBS www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/investigation/birthplace-of-hip-hop Conversations about Housing often center on its negative aspects: its scarcity, debt, disrepair, outdated architecture, crime rate, neglect, and malfunction. What would happen if we were to allow Columbia University’s campus to go 50 years without mayor investments in infrastructure, expansions and repairs? What would happen if we did not have an expert team whose task is to track alumni, publicize and fundraise around them? President Jimmy Carter and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor; Elvis Presley and Jay-Z; CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein and CEO of Xerox, Ursula Burns; Whoopi Goldberg and Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), among many others, were all residents of Public Housing.

DeFrantz, External Examiner Dr. Chantal Maille, External to Program Dr. Bina Freiwald, Examiner Dr. Mark Sussman, Examiner Dr. Erin Manning, Thesis Supervisor Approved by _______________________________________________ Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director ________ _________________________________ Dean of Faculty Abstract Choreographies of community: Familias and its impact in the South Bronx Jane D. Gabriels, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2015 This thesis documents the creation, performance, and reception of Familias, a performance project created in 1994-95 by visual artist Pepón Osorio and choreographer Merián Soto, both in and out of its generative South Bronx context. This strategic close reading explores and presents Familias as an exemplar and richly instructive instance of socially engaged, community-based art making. By exploring Familias through multiple points of access – how it dances, speaks, listens and is understood / misunderstood -- this thesis reveals other narratives and paradigms for thinking about the work and its participants, and by extension, further engages with the creative process and production possibilities in the South Bronx.
