CJ’s Liquor: Sasquatch Sighted on Campus! Promoting Business Values at Kennedy By Kim Reisler CJ Liquors is an area of contention for many in the Kennedy zoning. Some argue that it is not acceptable to have such a blatant symbol of alcoholism and tobacco ad- diction by a school, but per- haps CJ‛s is more than this. CJ‛s exhibits a smart way to do business. Whoever placed CJ‛s across from Kennedy shows solid business sense. DECA club members could certainly learn a lesson from CJ‛s advertising and loca- tion. CJ‛s owners show eco- nomic sense; plus, we cannot begrudge the employees of the store their jobs, just be- cause CJ‛s may have a nega- tive impact on the kids who will someday run our country.

  • Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, Its People
    It’s Not Me, It’s You: Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, its People by Sharieka Shontae Botex April, 2019 Director of Thesis: Dr. Wendy Sharer Major Department: English The origins of Hip Hop evidence that the art form was intended to provide more than music to listen to, but instead offer art that delivers messages on behalf of people who were not always listened to. My thesis offers an analysis of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content and adds to an ongoing discussion of the potential Hip Hop artists have to be effective leaders for the Black community, whose lyrical content can be used to make positive change in society, and how this ability at times can be compromised by creating content that doesn’t evidence this potential or undermines it. Along with this, my work highlights how some of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content exhibits their use of some rhetorical strategies and techniques used in social movements and their use of some African American rhetorical practices and strategies. In addition to this, I acknowledge and discuss points in scholarship that connect with my discussion of their lyrical content, or that aided me in proposing what they could consider for future lyrical content. I analyzed six Jay-Z songs and six J. Cole songs, including one song from their earliest released studio album and one from their most recently released studio album. I examined their lyrical content to document responses to the following questions: What issues and topics are discussed in the lyrics; Is money referenced? If so, how; Is there a message of uplift or unity?; What does the artist speak out against?; What lifestyles and habits are promoted?; What guidance is provided?; What problems are mentioned? and What solutions are offered? In my thesis, I explored Jay-Z and J.

  • Abstract Humanities Jordan Iii, Augustus W. B.S. Florida
    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JORDAN III, AUGUSTUS W. B.S. FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY, 1994 M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1998 THE IDEOLOGICAL AND NARRATIVE STRUCTURES OF HIP-HOP MUSIC: A STUDY OF SELECTED HIP-HOP ARTISTS Advisor: Dr. Viktor Osinubi Dissertation Dated May 2009 This study examined the discourse of selected Hip-Hop artists and the biographical aspects of the works. The study was based on the structuralist theory of Roland Barthes which claims that many times a performer’s life experiences with class struggle are directly reflected in his artistic works. Since rap music is a counter-culture invention which was started by minorities in the South Bronx borough ofNew York over dissatisfaction with their community, it is a cultural phenomenon that fits into the category of economic and political class struggle. The study recorded and interpreted the lyrics of New York artists Shawn Carter (Jay Z), Nasir Jones (Nas), and southern artists Clifford Harris II (T.I.) and Wesley Weston (Lii’ Flip). The artists were selected on the basis of geographical spread and diversity. Although Hip-Hop was again founded in New York City, it has now spread to other parts of the United States and worldwide. The study investigated the biography of the artists to illuminate their struggles with poverty, family dysfunction, aggression, and intimidation. 1 The artists were found to engage in lyrical battles; therefore, their competitive discourses were analyzed in specific Hip-Hop selections to investigate their claims of authorship, imitation, and authenticity, including their use of sexual discourse and artistic rivalry, to gain competitive advantage.

  • On September 15Th, 2019, Ric Ocasek Died. He, Along with Benjamin Orr Were the Founders and Driving Force Behind the New Wave Band the Cars
    More Lives Than Disco On September 15th, 2019, Ric Ocasek died. He, along with Benjamin Orr were the founders and driving force behind the New Wave band The Cars. In 1977 the Disco craze of the 70’s looked to be coming to an end and was about to be supplanted by New Wave and Punk bands (The Sex Pistols, The Cars and Blondie-yes, they were actually a punk band at that time that was just beginning to surface). You see, music genres (The British Invasion, Grunge, New Wave and Punk etc.) have a life cycle, just like the economy and Disco had seemingly run its course with mid 70’s hits like “Disco Inferno”, “I Love the Nightlife” and others dominating the charts (there was even an atrocious Disco “Star Wars” theme remix in 1977). So, it looked like a tired Disco era was ending, with Punk and New Wave bands like The Cars about to take over the charts when something unexpected happened. In 1977, Vice President and the film “Saturday Night Fever” was released and its accompanying Senior Investment Advisor soundtrack by the Bee Gees was a smash hit with its Disco themes dominating airwaves for the next 2 years, reigniting the genre and T: 604.643.0234 encouraging other acts, including stadium Rock staples like Kiss and [email protected] Rod Stewart, to release Disco tracks. In Stewart’s case, the Spandex driven “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy”. One of the genres seminal hits, “Heart of Glass” was actually recorded as a satire/parody of the genre by the, at that point, punk band Blondie in their CBGB days (if you don’t believe me, look it up, there’s a great video of Deborah Harry and the band discussing it online).
