  • Hip Hop Club Songs
    Hip Hop Club Songs Did you Know? The credit of coining the term 'Hip-Hop' lies with Keith 'Cowboy' Wiggins, a member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Around 1978, he used to tease his friend who was in the US Army by singing hip/hop/hip/hop. He was mimicking the cadence rhythm of the soldiers. Initially known as Disco Rap, hip-hop music is a stylized download mp3 rocket pro free 2010 rhythmic music form which contains rapping and beat boxing as its elements. This music developed as a part of the 'hip-hop culture' in New York, particularly among the African-Americans. Today, hip hop music has become extremely popular among the masses. With the commercialization of this genre of music, a new era of talent paved its path to give music a new feel and rhythm by using words in the interim as a form of expression. Artists like Snoop Dog, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Black- Eyed Peas have popularized this particular genre even further. Certain artists, who were known for performing other genres also started experimenting with rap and hip-hop. Couple of such examples would be Beyonce and none other than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Another factor that has added to hip-hop's popularity is that this music is ideal for nightclubs and dance floors.

  • The Musicless Music Video As a Spreadable Meme Video: Format, User Interaction, and Meaning on Youtube
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3634–3654 1932–8036/20170005 The Musicless Music Video as a Spreadable Meme Video: Format, User Interaction, and Meaning on YouTube CANDE SÁNCHEZ-OLMOS1 University of Alicante, Spain EDUARDO VIÑUELA University of Oviedo, Spain The aim of this article is to analyze the musicless music video—that is, a user-generated parodic musicless of the official music video circulated in the context of online participatory culture. We understand musicless videos as spreadable content that resignifies the consumption of the music video genre, whose narrative is normally structured around music patterns. Based on the analysis of the 22 most viewed musicless videos (with more than 1 million views) on YouTube, we aim, first, to identify the formal features of this meme video format and the characteristics of the online channels that host these videos. Second, we study whether the musicless video generates more likes, dislikes, and comments than the official music video. Finally, we examine how the musicless video changes the multimedia relations of the official music video and gives way to new relations among music, image, and text to generate new meanings. Keywords: music video, music meme, YouTube, participatory culture, spreadable media, interaction For the purposes of this research, the musicless video is considered as a user-generated memetic video that alters and parodies an official music video and is spread across social networks. The musicless video modifies the original meaning of the official-version music video, a genre with one of the greatest impacts on the transformation of the audiovisual landscape in the past 10 years.

Streaming continued to show significant growth in 2014, with over 164 billion songs streamed on- demand through audio and video platforms. Physical album sales declined, with weakness in CDs despite record-setting strength in Vinyl LPs. Digital Albums and Digital Tracks also showed declines versus 2013, although digital consumption overall (sales and streams) showed growth. Total consumption for the year, based on Albums plus Track Equivalent Albums and Streaming Equivalent Albums, was down slightly versus 2013. "Music fans continue to consume music through on-demand streaming services at record levels, helping to offset some of the weakness that we see in sales,” says David Bakula, SVP Industry Insights, Nielsen. “The continued expansion of digital music consumption is encouraging, as is the continued record setting growth that we are seeing in vinyl LP sales.” Nielsen provides music research and monitoring services for the entertainment industry. Nielsen’s airplay, sales and streaming data represents music consumers of all ethnicities and languages, and is featured weekly in Billboard’s charts, including the iconic Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200, and is widely cited as the standard for music measurement.

  • Art and Hip-Hop in the Age of the Opioid Crisis
    Art and Hip-Hop in the Age of the Opioid Crisis Che Yeun Abstract Opioids saturate the language of rap music. Names of brand medications appear explicitly and frequently, across subgenres and generations. And a recent spate of Hip-Hop overdoses has further heightened the stakes for a genre already criticized for glamorizing antisocial values like violence and misogyny. This paper asks: How has the Hip-Hop community responded to these accusations? How is the opioid crisis shaping the aesthetics of Hip-hop practice? These questions matter because the art world has increasingly become involved in documenting and memorializing the victims lost to the opioid crisis. As art brings together practices of remembering, responding, and healing, art has also made vivid the struggle over how the opioid crisis will be remembered in the future. There is the palpable concern, even now, that in the construction of memorials, certain perspectives and experiences are being erased. The hostility and neglect towards rap music is perhaps one example of such erasures. With this in mind, it is all the more urgent that art archives of the opioid crisis incorporate rap lyrics, which have extensively documented opioid use for over two decades. This paper is then also a methodological proposition, to take seriously the knowledge, observations, and arguments presented in rap as archives of the history of substance use. Whether we interpret them as fictive fantasies or gritty realism, these texts exert tremendous influence over global pop culture, youth culture, and counterculture today. Attending to the world of imagination can be valuable in times of crisis, when medical visions of resolution, like artistic visions of resolution, may also contain normative prescriptions of health, sobriety, community, and morality.
