  • Williams, Hipness, Hybridity, and Neo-Bohemian Hip-Hop
    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

  • The Fearless Leader Fearless the Paul 196
    TWO RAINMAKERS PAUL THE FEARLESS LEADER 196 ven back then, I was taking on far too many jobs,” Def Jam Chairman Paul Rosenberg recalls of his early career. As the longtime man- Eager of Eminem, Rosenberg has been a substantial player in the unfolding of the ‘‘ modern era and the dominance of hip-hop in the last two decades. His work in that capacity naturally positioned him to seize the reins at the major label that brought rap to the mainstream. Before he began managing the best- selling rapper of all time, Rosenberg was an attorney, hustling in Detroit and New York but always intimately connected with the Detroit rap scene. Later on, he was a boutique-label owner, film producer and, finally, major-label boss. The success he’s had thus far required savvy and finesse, no question. But it’s been Rosenberg’s fearlessness and commitment to breaking barriers that have secured him this high perch.

This event marks HPP’s first foray into both working with an accomplished artist of Carter’s caliber as well as the arena of large-scale cultural fundraisers. "A talented, charismatic player who is almost single-handedly reviving interest in the violin as a jazz instrument." — Los Angeles Times Carter, who has been praised by critics worldwide, is a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Fellowship, has been a Resident Artistic Director at SF Jazz, and is a regular performer in the Bay Area. In addition to these San Francisco connections, her extensive musical tributes to her mother, family, and heritage offer synergies between her creative efforts and HPP’s organizational mission to empower families. For the past 26 years, HPP has been guided by its mission to, in partnership with families, break the cycle of childhood poverty. The organization joins with families to help them recognize their strengths and trust in their capacity to transform their lives. HPP believes that pregnancy creates an important opportunity for positive change for expecting parents.

HIP-HOP’S DIVERSITY AND MISPERCEPTIONS by Andrew Cashman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a Degree with Honors (Anthropology) The Honors College University of Maine August 2020 Advisory Committee: Joline Blais, Associate Professor of New Media, Advisor Kreg Ettenger, Associate Professor of Anthropology Christine Beitl, Associate Professor of Anthropology Sharon Tisher, Lecturer, School of Economics and Honors Stuart Marrs, Professor of Music 2020 Andrew Cashman All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The misperception that hip-hop is a single entity that glorifies wealth and the selling of drugs, and promotes misogynistic attitudes towards women, as well as advocating gang violence is one that supports a mainstream perspective towards the marginalized.1 The prevalence of drug dealing and drug use is not a picture of inherent actions of members in the hip-hop community, but a reflection of economic opportunities that those in poverty see as a means towards living well. Some artists may glorify that, but other artists either decry it or offer it as a tragic reality. In hip-hop trends build off of music and music builds off of trends in a cyclical manner.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Detroit Producer Black Noi$E Shares Surreal New Video for “Mo(U)Rning” Feat
    DETROIT PRODUCER BLACK NOI$E SHARES SURREAL NEW VIDEO FOR “MO(U)RNING” FEAT. EARL SWEATSHIRT WATCH HERE October 7, 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) – Following the release of his debut project Oblivion via Tan Cressida / Warner Records last month, Detroit producer Black Noi$e shares a surreal new video from the project for “Mo(u)rning” featuring Earl Sweatshirt. The Aaron Hymes-directed visual depicts animated characters of both Black and Earl in a bizarre alternate reality. Surrounded by giant mousetraps, the two appear to be the last men standing over a group of defeated policemen. Earl’s verse serves as a loose narration of the scenario taking place on the dark city block. Black Noi$e’s Oblivion hosts features from Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown, BbyMutha, Liv.e, Pink Siifu, MIKE, Duendita, ZelooperZ, Raphy, G-Baby GVVAAN and Cousin Mouth. The project has been covered by the likes of Pitchfork, Complex, Esquire, NYLON, Stereogum, HYPEBEAST and more. DOWNLOAD PRESS PHOTO HERE [CREDIT: AIRJOB] ABOUT BLACK NOI$E: Black Noi$e is a producer/DJ who recently joined the Tan Cressida imprint on Warner Records, a crew of up-and-coming rappers and producers led by Earl Sweatshirt. Inspired by Detroit techno and J Dilla-style hip-hop, Black Noi$e's productions embrace experimentation and spontaneity to bring old soul to the new school. He has produced for pioneering artists such as Danny Brown, BbyMutha, Wiki, The World's Fair collective, ZelooperZ, Navy Blue and more, and is Earl Sweatshirt's touring DJ, in addition to having produced for him.
