ON MY GRIND: FREESTYLE RAP PRACTICES IN EXPERIMENTAL CREATIVE WRITING AND COMPOSITION PEDAGOGY Evan Nave 312 Pages My work is always necessarily two-headed. Double-voiced. Call-and-response at once. Paranoid self-talk as dichotomous monologue to move the crowd. Part of this has to do with the deep cuts and scratches in my mind. Recorded and remixed across DNA double helixes. Structurally split. Generationally divided. A style and family history built on breaking down. Evidence of how ill I am. And then there’s the matter of skin. The material concerns of cultural cross-fertilization. Itching to plant seeds where the grass is always greener. Color collaborations and appropriations. Writing white/out with black art ink. Distinctions dangerously hidden behind backbeats or shamelessly displayed front and center for familiar-feeling consumption. Sell-out concerns always whispering or shouting further dissonance. Hip-hop became home when it welcomed all the voices in my head. And anyone who knows me knows how hard it can be for me to leave the house. White-flight phobias in reverse. Pale-faced. Afraid I’ll look like I’ve seen a ghost. Hip-hop pushed me to split. Like MF DOOM as hip-hop “Supervillain,” part hero, part madman, I come at writing and teaching writing ruptured. With desires to both build and destroy. Empower and self- destruct. Anything inching towards complete cohesion a saving grace and the mark of the beast. Best to keep it real/reel. Fragmentation always feeling painfully honest. So On My Grind is broken down into chapters of fragments designed to blur. “Hip-Hop Alone” written as both MC and alienated imposter. “Ain’t Shit: Freewriting to Freestyling” written as both instructor-theorist and disillusioned hip-hop disciple. “Bootleg Ghetto Pass Revoked” functioning as both self-conscious Blaxploitation flick and freestyle praxis. Each of the chapters doing creative and critical work, as much a nod to my deep-seated belief in the power of edutainment as a conscious recognition that any hip-hop text is always doing at least a few things at once. I’m most interested in the mess that happens when the chapters and fragments collide. The collage-effects made possible by the friction of the faulty/fault line design. Where the teacher-narrator of “Ain’t Shit” buys psychiatric dope on the corner in “Bootleg Ghetto Pass Revoked,” to numb the pain of the sick critic in “Hip-Hop Alone.” The voices in the chapters, while not necessarily unified, certainly speak the same language. They talk shit to each other. Signify to spit the truth through lies. All of it freestyled to the offbeat rhythms in my head. A suspicious half-trust in “first thought best thought” practices to the beat. Where editing meant freestyling over the original freestyles until they sounded right. Until they flowed. I flowed until I reached a flow state untouched by my illness. My mental state spit mysterious and spiritual. Ritualistic grinding through “ain’t shit” states of mind with flow-faith. On My Grind preaches belief and doubt. Devotion and heresy. Holding onto hope and completely losing it. KEYWORDS: Hip-hop studies, Freestyle rap, Freewriting ON MY GRIND: FREESTYLE RAP PRACTICES IN EXPERIMENTAL CREATIVE WRITING AND COMPOSITION PEDAGOGY EVAN NAVE A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Evan Nave ON MY GRIND: FREESTYLE RAP PRACTICES IN EXPERIMENTAL CREATIVE WRITING AND COMPOSITION PEDAGOGY EVAN NAVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Ricardo Cortez Cruz, Chair Julie Cheville Bob Broad ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I’ll probably never have a “shout outs” section in the liner notes of the inside cover of a rap album, so this will have to do. First things first: I couldn’t have pushed through, gotten over, or kept my head together without the endless support and encouragement of Professor Ricardo Cortez Cruz. If I’m the rapper, he’s the DJ. Always bringing the noise and coaxing the right amount of wreck out of me. Trust: You’d never hear from me without him. I’d also like to express my gratitude to Dr. Julie Cheville for teaching me what it means to teach writing thoughtfully, mindfully. With my head and heart in the right places. Her patience, kindness, and generosity allowed me to write this dissertation in my own time, in my own voice. She helped me sit with this project even when I didn’t know what I stood for and, as a result, now I know where I stand. Although we’ve only started working together somewhat recently, Dr. Bob Broad’s expertise in expressivism and writing assessment challenged me to put my pedagogical money where my mouth is with this project. Put up or shut up, with an emphasis on value. What all this writing and teaching means when the chips are down. I want to thank him for buying into my vision for this dissertation and seeing it through to the end. There were many members of the Illinois State University community who supported me, held me down, while I worked through the PhD program. I specifically want to thank Dr. Steve Halle and Tara Reeser for helping me stay focused on what mattered most—bettering myself and doing work I believe in. I’m a better/badder writer, teacher, and person for knowing them. Finally, I want to thank my best friends, Robert Harrison and Charish Halliburton, and my partner, Alyssa Bralower, for being there for me, having my back, as I wrote this dissertation. i They were always all ears when I needed to rap about my writing, and their unwavering belief in me and my work consistently reminded me why I do all this. Much love.

She never consciously planned on blending her passions for writing and hip-hop, she says—“It just sort of happened” (Rausch 85). I remember the day I became a hip-hop writer because I still have the calendar on a bookshelf, stuck between Mumia Abu-Jamal’s Live from Death Row and a Merriam-Webster’s Rhyming Dictionary. I became a hip-hop writer on the calendar. Literally. I transcribed Sister Souljah’s The Coldest Winter Ever word-for-word in the date boxes from December 22 to March 20. To get through the cold itself where I lived. Something cold that happens in my mind when it snows. When I turn cold-blooded on myself and start hearing Jay- Z’s “D’Evils” like a palm reading. Frostbit. I had to take a pen into my palm like divinely inspired scriptures. I had to write 8 hours a day, obsessively, to be prolific like Tupac Shakur in the studio. Chapter after chapter like tracks. Put in work. Pay my dues. Do penance. And I had to write so small to make the sentences fit that the words were unreadable. My hands shook and ached from the tedium built into my practice. But I was drawn to the precision and routine. My mind filled with escape routes. My mind filled with rap-styled first family Mafiosos and the women who love to love them. I thought about buying a gun and ending every day’s work with a bullet. I thought about buying a gun and using it as a paperweight, so the work wouldn’t blow me away. I was drawn to the punctual violence. I could put my finger on it. The characters spoke in subliminal messages. All of them confirmed my authenticity. They included personal anecdotes in paratext. I used a pill bottle full of anti-depressants as a paperweight instead. Its dosage instructions included personal anecdotes as paratext. I wrote until the work was finished and I 1 was a hip-hop writer for real. I closed the windows until I was finished and winter was over and woke up on the first day of spring a hip-hop writer with a body of work to prove it. 2 But Both To me, hip-hop is the tension between trash and talent. What’s overlooked and left behind and what’s worth holding onto. A “started-from-the-bottom-now-we-here” ethos where “the bottom” and “here” could be indistinguishable outside the hip-hopper’s head. The shifting signifiers situated loosely between performance and belief. Hip-hop requiring a certain religious faith in the unknown. Speaking/writing/dancing/spinning something bigger than oneself into existence to imagine something bigger than oneself is possible, period.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Music Video As Black Art
    IN FOCUS: Modes of Black Liquidity: Music Video as Black Art The Unruly Archives of Black Music Videos by ALESSANDRA RAENGO and LAUREN MCLEOD CRAMER, editors idway through Kahlil Joseph’s short fi lm Music Is My Mis- tress (2017), the cellist and singer Kelsey Lu turns to Ishmael Butler, a rapper and member of the hip-hop duo Shabazz Palaces, to ask a question. The dialogue is inaudible, but an intertitle appears on screen: “HER: Who is your favorite fi lm- Mmaker?” “HIM: Miles Davis.” This moment of Black audiovisual appreciation anticipates a conversation between Black popular cul- ture scholars Uri McMillan and Mark Anthony Neal that inspires the subtitle for this In Focus dossier: “Music Video as Black Art.”1 McMillan and Neal interpret the complexity of contemporary Black music video production as a “return” to its status as “art”— and specifi cally as Black art—that self-consciously uses visual and sonic citations from various realms of Black expressive culture in- cluding the visual and performing arts, fashion, design, and, obvi- ously, the rich history of Black music and Black music production. McMillan and Neal implicitly refer to an earlier, more recogniz- able moment in Black music video history, the mid-1990s and early 2000s, when Hype Williams defi ned music video aesthetics as one of the single most important innovators of the form. Although it is rarely addressed in the literature on music videos, the glare of the prolifi c fi lmmaker’s infl uence extends beyond his signature lumi- nous visual style; Williams distinguished the Black music video as a creative laboratory for a new generation of artists such as Arthur Jafa, Kahlil Joseph, Bradford Young, and Jenn Nkiru.

  • Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
    YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.
