Spring Vision ’87 was supposed to be a fashion show, but I heard it was more like a nightclub, and a raging one at that. Santa Barbara showed it had cool fashion and hot models to hang it on, then everybody boogied the night away. We’ve got a powerful hunch that this Saturday’s Spring Vision '89, the fashion show /party to benefit AIDS: CAP, will top it. AIDS: CAP (Counseling and Assistance Program) is a local organization trying desperately to provide humane services for a community completely unprepared to deal with the onslaught of the disease. Spring Vision Coordinator/Choreographer Alex Munoz has received notice throughout the international fashion community for putting fashion shows together, with dancing models, in­ ventive props, and cutting-edge light displays.

Pathfinder, the first installment in Arts and Lectures New Norwegian Cinema Series, fits well into the coming-of-age genre. But rather than the expanse of space or a post-apocalyptic landscape - along the lines of Road Warrior, the time and place is 1,000 years ago in the ice plains of northern Norway. The story is of a 16-year-old boy who, after wit­ nessing the murder of his family, comes of age while seeking revenge. In so many variations we’ve seen this story before, from westerns to sci-fi. So it's a fair compliment to say that director Nils Gaup's is never dull.

  • Digitale Disconnectie Voor De La Soul
    juridisch Digitale disconnectie dreigt voor hiphopgroep De La Soul Stakes Is High Bjorn Schipper Met de lancering op Netflix van de nieuwe hitserie The Get Down staat de opkomst van hiphop weer volop in de belangstelling. Tegen de achtergrond van de New Yorkse wijk The Bronx in de jaren ’70 krijgt de kijker een beeld van hoe discomuziek langzaam plaatsmaakte voor hiphop en hoe breakdancen en deejayen in zwang raakten. Een hiphopgroep die later furore maakte is De La Soul. In een tijd waarin digitale exploitatie volwassen is geworden en de online-mogelijkhe- den haast eindeloos zijn, werd onlangs bekend dat voor De La Soul juist digitale disconnectie dreigt met een nieuwe generatie (potentiële) fans1. In deze bijdrage ga ik in op de bizarre digi- tale problemen van De La Soul en laat ik zien dat ook andere artiesten hiermee geconfronteerd kunnen worden.

  • 3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (Guest Post)*
    “3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (guest post)* De La Soul For hip-hop, the late 1980’s was a tinderbox of possibility. The music had already raised its voice over tensions stemming from the “crack epidemic,” from Reagan-era politics, and an inner city community hit hard by failing policies of policing and an underfunded education system--a general energy rife with tension and desperation. From coast to coast, groundbreaking albums from Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” to N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton” were expressing an unprecedented line of fire into American musical and political norms. The line was drawn and now the stage was set for an unparalleled time of creativity, righteousness and possibility in hip-hop. Enter De La Soul. De La Soul didn’t just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in. If the preceding generation took hip-hop from the park jams and revolutionary commentary to lay the foundation of a burgeoning hip-hop music industry, De La Soul was going to take that foundation and flip it. The kids on the outside who were a little different, dressed different and had a sense of humor and experimentation for days. In 1987, a trio from Long Island, NY--Kelvin “Posdnous” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Plug Three” Mason—were classmates at Amityville Memorial High in the “black belt” enclave of Long Island were dusting off their parents’ record collections and digging into the possibilities of rhyming over breaks like the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” all the while immersing themselves in the imperfections and dust-laden loops and interludes of early funk and soul albums.

    April 30, 2013 THE SOCIOLOGY OF AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC (SOAP) UNIT 5 NOTES HIP HOP & RAP April 30, 2013 OVERVIEW OF HIP-HOP AND RAP MUSIC TRADITIONS Defining Hip-Hop and Rap - Hip-Hop Culture: - HIP-HOP is the name for the culture of which rap is simply a part - hip-hop culture initially had four main elements: 1. emceeing (rapping), 2. break dancing, 3. graffiti art, and 4. DJ'ing - eventually, it included the new styles of language and fashion that were popular among rappers and their fans RAP is a vocal style of rhythmic speaking in rhyme - the voice is used as a percussive instrument while delivering messages in a complicated verbal rhythm - the actual speaking is called "rapping" or "MC'ing" - early rap artists wanted their lyrics to be clearly understood, and the patter format seemed to achieve this clarity - initially, rapping was simply chants and call-and-response rhymes over a DJ's manipulations of records - it became one aspect of a cultural phenomenon called "hip-hop," apparently from early rap lyrics such as "Say hip, hop, you don't stop." Hip-Hop as a Distinct Musical Style - hip-hop has also been used to refer to the musical style in which a kind of patter-song vocal technique is used that is somewhere in between, or combines elements of, rapping and singing a melodic melody - singers in this style also use an electronic-generated and highly rhythmic music texture as backup - as rap became more associated with social and political messages, hip-hop tended to maintain the earlier party atmosphere associated with reggae and

  • An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 435 403 IR 057 553 AUTHOR Halliday, Blane TITLE An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library. PUB DATE 1999-05-00 NOTE 94p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. Information Science. Appendices may not reproduce adequately. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.

All rights reserved. Getting Hip to the Hop: A Rap Bibliography/Discography Leta Hendricks ABSTRACT. This bibliographic/discographic essay examines works which may be used to develop a core collection on Rap music. A selected bibliography and discography is also provided. INTRODUCTION Research interest has recently emerged in the popular African-American musical idiom known as Rap and continues to grow as social and cultural scholars have embarked on a serious study of Rap music and culture. Therefore, the student, scholar, and general library patron may seek information on Rap and its relationship with the African-American community. During the 1970's, libraries rushed to include in their holdings culturally diverse materials, especially materials on African-American history, literature, and culture. Today, emphasis is placed on cultural diversity, Rap is sometimes deemed to be low art and may be overlooked in the collecting of diverse materials. However, Rap has already celebrated its sixteenth anniversary and, like Rock and Roll, Rap is here to stay. Rap music research is difficult because (1) the librarian or information provider generally lacks knowledge of the category,' and (2) primary/ephemeral materials are not widely accessible.2 This selective bibliographic and discographic essay examines a variety of Rap resources and materials including biographies, criticisms, discographies, histories, recordings, and serials to help fill the Rap knowledge and culture gap and assist in the development of a core collection on Rap music.

  • True Heads: Historicizing the Hip Hop "Nation"
    TRUE HEADS Historicizing the Hip_Hop "Nation" in Context by R. Scott Heath Hip_hop culture is intricately linked to any comprehensive understanding of race and national identity in the United States at the turn of the twentieth-first century. What was initially developed as a mode of marginal expression, conceived as a countermeasure to the material and social inequities of American postindustrialism, has, in the past several years, become perhaps the most prominent medium by which blackness is represented in the U.S. and by which blackness and Americanness are represented globally. And hip_hop, which might best be imagined as a way of reading and critiquing public culture, is itself troubled by the ways that it is read and recontextualized by its detractors and proponents alike. For this reason it is imperative that we explore the extent to which hip_hop discourse seems to typify American convention as much as it informs it, particularly in light of recent international events that have reignited some tough discussions about what Americanness means. This project elucidates the challenges of historiography as it concerns a cultural practice that has been racially marked as black and that has been understood as a site of militant, class-based struggle and resistance. Hip_hop and conversations around hip_hop almost necessarily compromise the boundaries of private and public expressive spheres, challenging us as critical thinkers to account for the consistent evidence of alternative intellectualisms and revised epistemolo- gies.

In a Valentine’s gesture to their fans, hip-hop trio De La Soul are making their entire back catalogue available for free online. For 25 hours, listeners can download the band’s music to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising , released in 1989. "Check back on Valentine's Day at 11am EST for some de la love," a message on the official De La Soul website read. Much of De La Soul’s seven album repertoire is not usually available online (or at least, not legally), as the many samples used on their tracks are difficult to license. As a result, most of the group’s music is not for sale on digital retail stores such as iTunes. “It’s about allowing our fans who have been looking and trying to get a hold of our music to have access to it,” MC Posdnuos told Rolling Stone . “It’s been too long where our fans haven’t had access to everything. This is our way of showing them how much we love them.” Some brand new tunes are expected to appear on De La Soul’s website later this year in the form of their first LP in ten years, You're Welcome . “We’re just getting in the mode of constantly giving people new music,” said Posdnuos. “We’ve sat a long time without releasing an album. It’s high time we start releasing a bunch of stuff because it’s there.” Join our new commenting forum.
