Greg Gonzalez (bass) remembers a kid back in junior high hipped him to the fact that Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise” RELEASE: 5/25/2018 is built on James Brown samples, while a teenaged Beto Martinez (guitar) $17.98 / CH / $9.98 / AH alternated between metal and hip-hop in his walk-man, and Adrian Quesada LIST PRICE: (guitar/keys) remembers falling in love with Public Enemy’s sound at an early CASE QTY: LP 30 / CD 200/1 age. “When I got into Hip hop, I was looking for this aggressive outlet . and I didn’t even understand what they were pissed off about, because I was twelve and lived in Laredo . but I loved it and I felt angry along with them.” TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio) Joseph Abajian (Fat Beats’ owner) must have sensed the deep hip-hop well lying beneath the versatile band’s Latin-Funk veneer. “I thought their sound 1. Louder Than A Bomb would work covering Public Enemy songs,” Abajian says, and, “it was good to know they were P.E. fans . We came up with a track listing and they went 2. Shut Em Down to work.” Despite the band’s eagerness to work on new original material (an album of original songs is slated for next year), they couldn’t pass up the 3. Fight The Power opportunity to pay homage to this iconic and influential posse. 4. Trackstar The DJ To The Edge Of Panic Translating sample-based music to a live band turned out to be more of a challenge than they anticipated. Adrian tried to get inside the Bomb Squad’s 5. By The Time I Get To Arizona [Public Enemy’s producers/beat-making team] head in order to find the inspiration to reinterpret P.E.’s songs: “Imagine the Bomb Squad going back in 6. Welcome To The Terrordome time and getting the J.B.s [James Brown’s funky backing band] in the studio 7. My Uzi Weight A Ton and setting up a couple analog synths and then playing those songs.” While some songs closely follow the original musical blueprint, others use the 8. Don’t Believe The Hype source breakbeats as jumping-off points later sweetened by Trombonist Mark “Speedy” Gonzales’ horn arrangements, synth wizardry courtesy of friend-of- 9. I Don’t Wanna Be Called Yo Ni**a the-band Peter Stopschinski, and DJ Trackstar’s turntable scratches. But don’t listen expecting to hear paint-by-numbers recreations of classic Public Enemy 10. 911 Is A Joke jams. “Our approach is never in the tribute sense,” Adrian explains. “We’ve always taken it and made it our own, whether it’s the Brown Sabbath thing or 11. Bring The Noise this Public Enemy thing.” 12. Prophets Of Rage Coming off numerous tours as Brown Sabbath and even a stint backing the late legend Prince, Brownout is arguably the tightest and funkiest band on the road today and they’re psyched to bring this revolutionary music to the people. For a band without an overt political agenda, they collectively couldn’t resist the opportunity to play this music live, especially now. “If there’s any way that we can use the already political and protest nature [of P.E.’s music], we would like to try,” Beto says. “The album’s title, Fear of Brown Planet is definitely a relevant idea today and we’re not afraid to put it out there, because we want to speak out.” By reinterpreting these hip hop classics in their unique style and channeling the spirit of Public Enemy that first echoed around the world and captured their imaginations all those years ago, Brownout is doing exactly that.

  • Sal Capone – Intro for Schools
    Introduction to Sal Capone: The Lamentable Tragedy Of for teachers and students From the playwright, Omari Newton: I hope this story makes you all think, laugh and feel inspired to create your own art. Sal Capone is a story about people your age chasing their dreams and fighting to survive some of the pressure associated with growing up. It's also a love letter to Hip Hop culture. I hope you enjoy our show. From the director, Diane Roberts: Theatre is a tactile medium. You feel things as much as you hear and see them. Sal Capone’s characters are ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. I hope you will be moved by how all of the elements of drama, music, video and movement come together to make you feel the triumphs and tragedies of these potent characters. What is the play about? Sal Capone: The Lamentable Tragedy Of (let’s call it Sal from here-on for short) is about many things and we hope, in watching the play, you will find meanings and themes that we haven’t yet realized are there. In particular, we hope that you will find something about you in the play. The story follows the journeys of a group of friends and Hip Hop crew who are dealing with the fatal police shooting of their friend; a talented but troubled young DJ (inspired by true events that have occurred in Montreal, Toronto, New York, San Francisco and London, UK in recent years and many others that don’t reach mass media – see links in “Resources” section).

  • The Role of Radicalism in African-American Protest Music
    “WE’D RATHER DIE ON OUR FEET THAN BE LIVIN’ ON OUR KNEES” THE ROLE OF RADICALISM IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PROTEST MUSIC, 1960 – 1990: A CASE STUDY AND LYRICAL ANALYSIS Master’s Thesis in North American Studies Leiden University By Roos Fransen 1747045 10 June 2018 Supervisor: Dr. S.A. Polak Second reader: Dr. M.L. de Vries Contents Introduction 3 Chapter 1: Nina Simone and calling out racism 12 Chapter 2: James Brown, black emancipation and self-pride 27 Chapter 3: Public Enemy, black militancy and distrust of government and 40 media Conclusion 52 Works cited 56 2 Introduction The social importance of African-American music originates in the arrival of African slaves on the North American continent. The captured Africans transported to the British colonial area that would later become the United States came from a variety of ethnic groups with a long history of distinct and cultivated musical traditions. New musical forms came into existence, influenced by Christianity, yet strongly maintaining African cultural traditions. One of the most widespread early musical forms among enslaved Africans was the spiritual. Combining Christian hymns and African rhythms, spirituals became a distinctly African- American response to conditions on the plantations slaves were forced to work1. They expressed the slaves’ longing for spiritual and physical freedom, for safety from harm and evil, and for relief from the hardships of slavery. Many enslaved people were touched by the metaphorical language of the Bible, identifying for example with the oppressed Israelites of the Old Testament, as this spiritual Go Down Moses illustrates: Go down, Moses Way down in Egypt's land Tell old Pharaoh Let my people go2 The spiritual is inspired by Exodus 8:1, a verse in the Old Testament.

Her feedback has pushed me to investigate these ideas with more clarity and direction than I initially thought possible, and her mentorship throughout this first step in my graduate career has been invaluable. I would also like to thank the other members of my committee, Dr. Aparajita Sagar and Dr. Ryan Schneider, for helping me polish this piece of writing and for supporting me throughout this two-year program as I prepared to write this by participating in their seminars and working with them to prepare conference materials. Without these three individuals I would not have the confidence that I now have to continue on in my academic career. Additionally, I would like to thank my friends in the English Department at Purdue University and my friends back home in Minnesota who listened to my jumbled thoughts about popular culture and Black womanhood and asked me challenging questions that helped me to shape the argument that appears in this document.
