This point, I talk about all the time you know? The fact that discipline equals freedom And the more discipline you have as a human The more freedom you're gonna have Which is completely counterintuitive, ya know? People think, oh, you're living this disciplined lifestyle, so that means you, you don't have any freedom And it's actually the exact opposite I have freedom because I have discipline.

Rexx Life Raj And G-Eazy Went From High School Classmates To Collaborators. Faraji Wright is a walking paradox. The former Division I Boise State football player, who records under the name Rexx Life Raj, towers over most. His build would make any opposing line think twice, but instead of sportsmanlike aggression, he radiates a calm and humble energy. Wright is from the Bay Area, but his music is somehow both of and separate from the musical lineage of Too $hort and E-40. In song, he’s hyper confident and brash, but in person, his voice is direct and soft. On Friday (November 17), Raj’s latest vision becomes a reality with the release of Father Figure 2: Flourish . Brisk, kinetic, and insightful, the project is a steady measure of a 27-year-old on the brink of something bigger. As the title suggests, the songs are punctuated by the voices of his father and mother. Imagine Kendrick’s parents on good kid, m.A.A.d. city , but instead of calls for dominoes, Raj’s father gives his son wisdom culled from his time as part of the Black Panther party. In an interview with MTV News, Raj describes how he got his start rapping, making Father Figure 2 , and what it was like growing up in a music scene that housed artists like G-Eazy and Lil B. The following interview has been edited for clarity and length. MTV News: How does a former D-I Boise State football player realize he can sing? Rexx Life Raj: I was doing it before football. It just came with the family. My family were real singers, like gospel, like soul singers. On my mom side, they were a pretty known gospel group called the Marshall family. That’s her maiden name. But they were the Marshall Quartet, and they would go around singing. It was her, her sisters, my uncle, and my granny. Some of them played instruments, but they were like a really known gospel group. So like I said, I grew up in music and growing up, I didn’t think I could really sing. That’s why I rapped, because my family could really sing like down-home, from-the-pits-of-your-soul sing. My favorite song off the album is “Where I Belong” because of the way you use lyrics about anxiety and doubt and melody to evoke positivity in the face of overwhelming obstacles. Was this intentional? Rexx Life Raj: I think I laid the album out that way with “Two Free” and “Where I Belong” because I feel like those two tracks kinda gave the best overall feel of the tape, whether it be sonically with, like, the openness of it and the melodic rapping. But also I cover so much base in those two songs because they’re more streams of consciousness. I’ve read you’re a fan of Kid Cudi. Rexx Life Raj: Yeah, Man on the Moon 1 is my favorite album ever. What’s the best track off that album? Rexx Life Raj: “Solo Dolo” is fire. “Sky Might Fall” is fire. I don’t even remember when I start slapping Kid Cudi, but I think I was late to the party. Like, it was a little afterwards, but, like, yeah, that was my favorite album. Used to listen to that shit on repeat. What was it like growing up with a Black Panther as a father? Rexx Life Raj: My dad is a really complex person, but he instilled in me that perspective of what it really meant to be a black man in America and how you’ll be perceived. It was always big for him that I pay attention and know it’s not gonna be the same for me as it is for everyone else and you need to know that, and that’s what life is. There’s certain ways you gotta move. You can’t do certain things everybody else does. You don’t have that kind of freedom. You’re a big black dude. I think what I got from was just being hyper conscious of the way I maneuver through the world and move. On “Feels,” your dad closes the song with the statement, “Bay Area got its own sound.” To the uninitiated, how would you describe the sound and legacy of the Bay? Rexx Life Raj: It’s kinda evolving especially now with everything going on, but really like the SOB x RBE movement. But the Bay Area sound was wap. It was heavy 808s. The tempo was uptempo between 87 and 100. It was damn near trunk music for real. Shit that you could turn up and really go dumb to. I put that there because it fades into “Fiji,” which is a Goapele sample of “Closer To My Dreams.” So I thought that was a good segue into that song because to me, that song was one of the biggest songs that shaped my childhood. “Closer To My Dreams,” we used to slap that all the time. It wasn’t even, like, the normal, like, mainstream Bay shit we were listening to at the time like E-40 or Keak Da Sneak. It was like something that still had that feel, but it was smooth. I like that song a lot and I feel like that song was a timestamp in the bay. So when people hear it, they’ll be like, “Wow, he flipped that. That’s crazy.” On “Forever Lit,” G-Eazy raps “I knew Raj in '05, and it’s still respect.” I heard you and G-Eazy went to the same high school. Do you remember what he was like back then? Rexx Life Raj: We went to the same middle school and high school. I don’t really remember him from middle school, but I remember him from high school for sure because like I said, we all had little rap groups and shit. He was in, I want to say it was called the Bay Boys with Marty Grimes, because they been best friends forever.

  • Metric Ambiguity and Flow in Rap Music: a Corpus-Assisted Study of Outkast’S “Mainstream” (1996)
    Metric Ambiguity and Flow in Rap Music: A Corpus-Assisted Study of Outkast’s “Mainstream” (1996) MITCHELL OHRINER[1] University of Denver ABSTRACT: Recent years have seen the rise of musical corpus studies, primarily detailing harmonic tendencies of tonal music. This article extends this scholarship by addressing a new genre (rap music) and a new parameter of focus (rhythm). More specifically, I use corpus methods to investigate the relation between metric ambivalence in the instrumental parts of a rap track (i.e., the beat) and an emcee’s rap delivery (i.e., the flow). Unlike virtually every other rap track, the instrumental tracks of Outkast’s “Mainstream” (1996) simultaneously afford hearing both a four-beat and a three-beat metric cycle. Because three-beat durations between rhymes, phrase endings, and reiterated rhythmic patterns are rare in rap music, an abundance of them within a verse of “Mainstream” suggests that an emcee highlights the three-beat cycle, especially if that emcee is not prone to such durations more generally. Through the construction of three corpora, one representative of the genre as a whole, and two that are artist specific, I show how the emcee T-Mo Goodie’s expressive practice highlights the rare three-beat affordances of the track. Submitted 2015 July 15; accepted 2015 December 15. KEYWORDS: corpus studies, rap music, flow, T-Mo Goodie, Outkast THIS article uses methods of corpus studies to address questions of creative practice in rap music, specifically how the material of the rapping voice—what emcees, hip-hop heads, and scholars call “the flow”—relates to the material of the previously recorded instrumental tracks collectively known as the beat.

    10/3/2020 The Story of FruityLoops: How a Belgian Porno Game Company Employee Changed Modern Music The Story of FruityLoops: How a Belgian Porno Game Company Employee Changed Modern Music Soulja Boy, Sonny Digital, 9th Wonder, and other producers discuss the influence of the program that went from a porn game company coder's side project to a building block of the sound of modern music. RJ By Reed Jackson December 11, 2015, 10:44am https://www.vice.com/en/article/rnwkvz/fruity-loops-fl-studio-program-used-to-create-trap-music-sound 1/20 10/3/2020 The Story of FruityLoops: How a Belgian Porno Game Company Employee Changed Modern Music Images by Christopher Classens Deep in the bowels of YouTube lies a very standard denition video of Atlanta hip- hop artist Soulja Boy touring his home studio. Dressed in a baggy white T-shirt and yellow gold jewelry, the baby-faced rapper shows off a rinky-dink microphone, a small MIDI keyboard and not much else. With a slight smirk hinting at the impishness that at one point raised the ire of several prominent hip-hop gures, Soulja Boy then goes on to explain that all of his big songs, including his chart- topping smash “Crank Dat,” were actually created on his laptop. The rest of the equipment came later. ADVERTISEMENT “[‘Crank Dat’] probably took me like ten minutes to make, and everyone know I made like 10 million dollars off of the song,” he says. “People were like, ‘Man, you used this demo version [of a software program] to make this song that went number one and made all this money.’” Although he namedrops the software quite a few times throughout the video, the fact alone that he references a “demo version” of it would give most millennials enough of a hint to know what he’s talking about.

  • White Chicks with a Gangsta' Pitch: Gendered Whiteness in United WHITE CHICKS GANGSTA PITCH
    Williams: White Chicks with a Gangsta' Pitch: Gendered Whiteness in United WHITE CHICKS GANGSTA PITCH . White Chicks with a Gangsta’ Pitch: Gendered Whiteness in United States Rap Culture (1990-2017) Melvin L. Williams The current research analyzed the authenticating strategies employed by White female rappers to establish legitimacy in Rap culture. Specifically, the study investigated the lyrical content of 109 Rap songs, produced by seven White female rappers signed to major record labels from 1990 to 2017 in the United States. An analysis of Rap lyrics from Tairrie B, Icy Blu, Sarai, Lady Sovereign, Kreayshawn, K.Flay, and Iggy Azalea revealed a number of findings that complicated and supported Edward Armstrong and Mickey Hess’s Hip Hop authenticating strategies. These rappers emphasized authenticity in their lyrical content and chronicled the multiple systems of oppressions facing White women in Rap, among other strategies. The seven rappers also presented themes that articulated a new Hip Hop authenticating strategy: “Look but don’t touch.” This strategy indicated a shift in the tactics used by White male rappers to establish legitimacy in the musical genre and captured the unique standpoints of White women in Rap culture. The majority of the discourse in Hip Hop has primarily been about the thoughts, feelings, and ethos of Black men.1 While Hip Hop has experienced some diversity over the years with the acceptances of Eminem, Macklemore, and Ryan Lewis, and more recently, Mac Miller, Logic, and Post Malone, White female rappers still have not achieved the same level of mainstream success as their White male counterparts. The advent of a White female “rocking the mic” is still heavily questioned and scrutinized by Hip Hop artists and fans.
