Bradley Syllabus for South
Special Topics in African American Literature: OutKast and the Rise of the Hip Hop South Regina N. Bradley, Ph.D. Course Description In 1995, Atlanta, GA, duo OutKast attended the Source Hip Hop Awards, where they won the award for best new duo. Mostly attended by bicoastal rappers and hip hop enthusiasts, OutKast was booed off the stage. OutKast member Andre Benjamin, clearly frustrated, emphatically declared what is now known as the rallying cry for young black southerners: “the South got something to say.” For this course, we will use OutKast’s body of work as a case study questioning how we recognize race and identity in the American South after the civil rights movement. Using a variety of post–civil rights era texts including film, fiction, criticism, and music, students will interrogate OutKast’s music as the foundation of what the instructor theorizes as “the hip hop South,” the southern black social-cultural landscape in place over the last twenty-five years. Course Objectives 1. To develop and utilize a multidisciplinary critical framework to successfully engage with conversations revolving around contemporary identity politics and (southern) popular culture 2. To challenge students to engage with unfamiliar texts, cultural expressions, and language in order to learn how to be socially and culturally sensitive and aware of modes of expression outside of their own experiences. 3. To develop research and writing skills to create and/or improve one’s scholarly voice and others via the following assignments: • Critical listening journal • Nerdy hip hop review **Explicit Content Statement** (courtesy: Dr. Treva B. Lindsey) Over the course of the semester students will be introduced to texts that may be explicit in nature (i.e., cursing, sexual content).

Outkast'd and Claimin' True
OUTKAST’D AND CLAIMIN’ TRUE: THE LANGUAGE OF SCHOOLING AND EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN HIPHOP COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE by JOYCELYN A. WILSON (Under the direction of Judith Preissle) ABSTRACT The hiphop community of practice encompasses a range of aesthetic values, norms, patterns, and traditions. Because of its growth over the last three decades, the community has come to include regionallyspecific networks linked together by community members who engage in meaningful practices and experiences. Expressed through common language ideologies, these practices contribute to the members’ communal and individual identity while simultaneously providing platforms to articulate social understandings. Using the constructs of community of practice and social networks, this research project is an interpretive study grounded primarily in the use of lyrics and interviews to investigate the linguistic patterns and language norms of hip hop’s southern network, placing emphasis on the Atlanta, Georgia southern hiphop network. The two main goals are to gain an understanding of the role of school in the cultivation of the network and identify the network’s relationship to schooling and education. The purpose is to identify initial steps for implementing a hiphop pedagogy in curriculum and instruction.

1 GRAAT On-Line Occasional Papers – December 2008 Representing The
GRAAT On-Line Occasional Papers – December 2008 Representing the Dirty South: Parochialism in Rap Music David Diallo Université Montesquieu – Bordeaux IV In this article, divided into two parts, I examine the parochial discourse of rap musicians from the Dirty South and study its symbolic stakes through a socio- historical analysis of hip-hop’s cultural practices. First, I address the importance for Southern hip hop musicians of mentioning their geographic origins. They develop slang, fashion style, musical and lyrical structures meant to represent the Dirty South. In part II, I examine the Dirty South rap scene, and point out some of its characteristics and idiosyncrasies. Rap historians generally consider that, before 1979, hip hop was a local phenomenon that had spread out geographically in poor neighborhoods around New York (Ogg 2002, Fernando 1994, George 2001). Chronologically, Kool Herc, using the principle of Jamaican sound system, defined the norms of reference for hip hop deejaying and determined the standard way to accomplish this practice. His style and technique established the elemental structure of rap music and determined the “proper” way to make rap. It is particularly interesting to note that the emerging sound system scene in the Bronx was spatially distributed as follows. Kool Herc had the West Side, Afrika Bambaataa had Bronx River, and Grandmaster Flash had the South Bronx, from 138 th Street up to Gun Hill. This parting of the Bronx into sectors (DJs’ territories) distinguished the locations that covered the key operative areas for the competing 1 sound systems. This spatial distribution reveals rap music’s particular relationship to specified places.

Hip Hop Family in the Underground: the Words and Actions of the True School Community in Atlanta, Georgia
THESIS HIP HOP FAMILY IN THE UNDERGROUND: THE WORDS AND ACTIONS OF THE TRUE SCHOOL COMMUNITY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA Submitted by Andrew Anil Kumar Department of Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2010 Master’s Committee: Department Chair: Kathleen A Sherman Advisor: Katherine E. Browne Richard Breaux Jeffery Snodgrass ABSTRACT OF THESIS HIP HOP FAMILY IN THE UNDERGROUND: THE WORDS AND ACTIONS OF THE TRUE SCHOOL COMMUNITY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA Hip Hop Culture is the fastest growing culture on earth. Around the world, people of multiple ethnicities, religions, economic backgrounds, and political affiliations consume and produce Hip Hop music and culture for a range of reasons. The music and art surrounding the culture has been intimately tied to the entertainment industry, and Hip Hop’s national and international dissemination speaks volumes about the processes and outcomes of globalization. It is for this reason that the vehicle of Hip Hop is a useful tool to analyze a wide range of topics like gender, class, ethnicity, business, and performance to name a few. In my thesis I explore underground Hip Hop culture in Atlanta Georgia. My analysis draws on fieldwork I conducted from 2008 to 2009 and includes data from participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and a survey. In Atlanta Georgia, a group of underground Hip Hop practitioners and consumers who are affiliated with a socially conscious movement within the culture known as “True School,” form a tight network. This network is rooted in deep local connections to one another reinforced by multiple exchanges of resources and information as well as commitment to a community ethos that is tied to the True School Movement.

As part of the OutKast posse, this 14-strong Southern hip-hop collective is guaranteed a certain amount of attention, but on Even in Darkness they show that they've got enough talent and individuality to transcend the attendant hype. Like OutKast, the Dungeon Family make use of intensely funky production and loopy, good-natured, decidedly non-gangsta humor à la P-Funk. But this isn't just Outkast, Jr. at work; the combined talents of Big Boi, cult hero Cee Lo, Backbone, and all the rest make this a distinctive effort. With an inventive production sensibility that bears echoes not just of OutKast and P-Funk, but even of Prince, and a truly collective approach wherein the whole is even greater than the already-impressive sum of its parts, Even in Darkness is accessible but sophisticated, fun but substantive, and one of the hip-hop highlights of 2001.

Get Crunk! The Performative Resistance of Atlanta Hip-Hop Party Music Kevin C. Holt Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 ©2018 Kevin C. Holt All rights reserved ABSTRACT Get Crunk! The Performative Resistance of Atlanta Hip-Hop Party Music Kevin C. Holt This dissertation offers an aesthetic and historical overview of crunk, a hip- hop subgenre that took form in Atlanta, Georgia during the late 1990s. Get Crunk! is an ethnography that draws heavily on methodologies from African-American studies, musicological analysis, and performance studies in order to discuss crunk as a performed response to the policing of black youth in public space in the 1990s. Crunk is a subgenre of hip-hop that emanated from party circuits in the American southeast during the 1990s, characterized by the prevalence of repeating chanted phrases, harmonically sparse beats, and moderate tempi. The music is often accompanied by images that convey psychic pain, i.e. contortions of the body and face, and a moshing dance style in which participants thrash against one another in spontaneously formed epicenters while chanting along with the music. Crunk’s ascension to prominence coincided with a moment in Atlanta’s history during which inhabitants worked diligently to redefine Atlanta for various political purposes. Some hoped to recast the city as a cosmopolitan tourist destination for the approaching new millennium, while others sought to recreate the city as a beacon of Southern gentility, an articulation of the city’s mythologized pre-Civil War existence; both of these positions impacted Atlanta’s growing hip-hop community, which had the twins goals of drawing in black youth tourism and creating and marketing an easily identifiable Southern style of hip-hop for mainstream consumption; the result was crunk.

12. “Shadowed” Lessons of Outkast's
JOYCELYN A. WILSON AND CHARLIE BRAXTON 12. “SHADOWED” LESSONS OF OUTKAST’S SOUTHERNPLAYALISTICADILLACMUZIK A Critical Duoethnography Outkast Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (1994) (herein referred to as Southernplayalistic) is the first album from Andre “3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton. Known to the world as the uber-successful Atlanta rap duo Outkast, at first glance their album cover art appears simple. Understated. Reminiscent of the illuminating effects included in the cover art of Roberta Flack’s Blue Lights in the Basement (1977). It is a metaphorical sankofa of the 1970s musical aesthetic: soul-searching lyrics accompanied by the live instrumentation of Organized Noize Productions (ONP). Southernplayalistic evokes a Dungeonesque vibe representative of their affiliations with the Dungeon Family,1 and uses a similar color palette of Blue Lights…where hues of orange, black, blue, and white create subtle beams of light that accent faint vignettes of the duo standing in the cover’s background. Patton and Benjamin fade in from their shadows to spotlighted headshots. Patton wears cornrows and Benjamin dons a fedora. Benjamin’s head leans to the side like he is peeking around the back of his rap partner. The two are close but do not appear to be right next to one another. Youth beams through their complexions yet neither smiles. In the left margin of the J. Austin (Ed.), Spinning Popular Culture as Public Pedagogy, 127–138. © 2017 Sense Publishers. All rights reserved. J. A. Wilson & C. Braxton cover is the OUTKAST crown – a re-interpretation of the metal Cadillac emblem, and just across the footer is the album title – a portmanteau combining the words “southern”, “player”, “realistic”, “Cadillac”, and “music” – all lowercase.
