  • Hip-Hop Pedagogy As Production Practice: Reverse-Engineering the Sample-Based Aesthetic
    Journal of Popular Music Education Special issue on Hip-hop Hip-Hop Pedagogy as Production Practice: Reverse-Engineering the Sample-Based Aesthetic Mike Exarchos (a.k.a. Stereo Mike) | London College of Music (University of West London) Introduction Hip-hop1 production practice contains a rich matrix of creative methods within its paradigm, which have the potential to inform and inspire music production pedagogy in higher education. The techno-artistic trajectory of rap production consists of numerous phases that may involve live performance, recording, sampling, synthesis, programming, mixing and mastering. Furthermore, it is not rare for self-contained processes—such as interpolation2 and the creation of content for sampling—to be actualized as developmental phases within the larger production trajectory. The well-documented issues affecting phonographic sampling have given rise to alternative practices, inviting live instrumental musicianship within hip-hop music-making, but also a dependence on synthesized sonics (often as signifiers of geographical and stylistic divergence). As a consequence, contemporary hip-hop production—arguably more than any other commercial music-making form—can provide a dynamic, applied context for the exploration, implementation, interplay and interaction of most phonographic stages conceived of and practiced within popular music production. This is not to say that other musics do not deploy multiple methods within their production processes, or that Hip-Hop exemplifies a sole case of multi-layered—or bricolage—production. After all, many popular musics have borrowed from hip-hop practices, and the rap production paradigm can be traced outside of strict stylistic barriers 1 The terms ‘Hip-Hop’ and ‘Rap’ will be used interchangeably throughout the paper, referring to the musical genre, outputs and practices associated with hip-hop culture and art.

  • The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap
    Open Cultural Studies 2018; 2: 122–135 Research Article Adam de Paor-Evans* The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2018-0012 Received January 27, 2018; accepted June 2, 2018 Abstract: In the early 1980s, an important facet of hip hop culture developed a style of music known as electro-rap, much of which carries narratives linked to science fiction, fantasy and references to arcade games and comic books. The aim of this article is to build a critical inquiry into the cultural and socio- political presence of these ideas as drivers for the productions of electro-rap, and subsequently through artists from Newcleus to Strange U seeks to interrogate the value of science fiction from the 1980s to the 2000s, evaluating the validity of science fiction’s place in the future of hip hop. Theoretically underpinned by the emerging theories associated with Afrofuturism and Paul Virilio’s dromosphere and picnolepsy concepts, the article reconsiders time and spatial context as a palimpsest whereby the saturation of digitalisation becomes both accelerator and obstacle and proposes a thirdspace-dromology. In conclusion, the article repositions contemporary hip hop and unearths the realities of science fiction and closes by offering specific directions for both the future within and the future of hip hop culture and its potential impact on future society. Keywords: dromosphere, dromology, Afrofuturism, electro-rap, thirdspace, fantasy, Newcleus, Strange U Introduction During the mid-1970s, the language of New York City’s pioneering hip hop practitioners brought them fame amongst their peers, yet the methods of its musical production brought heavy criticism from established musicians.

    Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music | Music | Kentucky.com Page 1 of 3 Kentucky.com Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music By Walter Tunis — Contributing Music Writer Posted: 8:24am on Mar 1, 2012; Modified: 2:20pm on Mar 1, 2012 Liz Carroll says that even after 30 years, she is fascinated by the emotion of Irish music. There is an animation that surfaces when Liz Carroll is speaking that often reflects the spirited tone of her playing. She is one of today's most celebrated torchbearers of traditional Irish music (she is America-born of Irish parentage), and her fiddle music bears confidence, precision, no modest level of speed when the occasion calls for it and, above all, a bountiful sense of Celtic abandon. http://www.kentucky.com/2012/03/01/2090222/fiddler-liz-carroll-doesnt-hide.html 3/10/2012 Fiddler Liz Carroll doesn't hide her exuberance for Irish music | Music | Kentucky.com Page 2 of 3 All kinds of musical alliances have promoted and benefited from her work: from traditionally inclined alliances with Trian, String Sisters and especially two extraordinary albums with fellow fiddler John Doyle (including 2009's Grammy-nominated Double Play), and collaborations with non-Irish-inclined stars Don Henley and Yehudi Menuhin. But the very exuberance that has ignited Carroll's recordings for more than 30 years positively erupts in conversation. There is no trace of an Irish accent as she talks, but there is no mistaking the heritage that has longed fueled her music.

Tashan Dorrsett is his newest (and freshest) alias in a long list of pseudonyms. The album (a true ‘album’ - not a collection of tracks cobbled together by someone outside Keith’s circle) is a departure from his more science fiction/fantasy-oriented characters (Dr. Octagon & Dr. Dooom), he instead offers up a gritty Bronx reality show, starring Tashan as the antihero – the concept described by Keith in his own words: “Tashan Dorrsett is the reality person from New York City with an image of being real and regular, dealing with daily life situations.

  • 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.
