  • The Beastie Boys: Jews in Whiteface
    Popular Music (2008) Volume 27/3. Copyright © 2008 Cambridge University Press, pp. 413–432 doi:10.1017/S0261143008102203 Printed in the United Kingdom The Beastie Boys: Jews in whiteface JON STRATTON Cultural Studies, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Western Australia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Beastie Boys are usually described as the white hip hop group who helped break rap to a broad-based white audience. Rarely is it acknowledged that the Beasties all came from Jewish backgrounds. This article examines the implications of the Beastie Boys’ Jewishness. The Beasties can be placed in a long history of Jewish entertainers reworking black music for white American audiences. By the 1980s, Jews in the United States had been assimilated into whiteness, yet it is clear that the memory of discrimination lived on. The members of the Beasties played with whiteness – performed in whiteface – while being very aware of their own Jewishness and the implications of this. With the advice and mentoring of African American Russell Simmons and the Jewish Rick Rubin, the group gained respect in the black community as legitimate rappers and then set out to perform as uncivil rock performers for white audiences. This article argues that the Beasties’ Jewishness was central to their success as the group that brought rap to a mainstream white American audience. Introduction I don’t recall race ever being an issue per se. Remember, this is a group that was recording for a label run by a Long Island Jew and a black guy from Hollis, Queens, and managed by an Israeli.

  • ABSTRACT LYNCH, KRYSTAL ANDREA. the Minstrelization of Hip Hop and Spoken Word Authenticity
    ABSTRACT LYNCH, KRYSTAL ANDREA. The Minstrelization of Hip Hop and Spoken Word Authenticity: Expressions of Postmodern Blackness. (Under the direction of Dr. Sheila Smith McKoy.) Because of the need to preserve hip hop culture in postmodern American, a question that should be asked is, how is hip-hop music relevant to postmodernism and how is postmodernism relevant to the African-American experience, specifically that of African- American youth culture? This current hip hop generation is chronologically and ideologically removed from the Civil Rights movement of its parents and grandparents and ambivalent to the history of African-American people in general. For a generation that has marginally benefited socially from the struggles of the past, postmodern blackness is a reality. Postmodern blackness is defined as intraracial solidarity, cultural authenticity, and social awareness with the purpose of rousing and empowering black culture through music. Postmodern blackness supplies the foundation for understanding hip hop culture and the people who thrive within the culture. Race plays a primary function as a mark of authenticity within the hip hop culture where white hip hop artists signify a demarcation of racial identity. This new racial identity enables white hip hop artists to comfortably put on blackness as a viable means of self- definition, thereby engaging in the blackface minstrel tradition. The analysis white appropriation of black cultural becomes a normative consumptiveness as the artist avidly upholds postmodern blackness. In a strong sense, white hip hop artists redefine hip hop culture with a multiracial movement that transcends color. This thesis also emphasizes the importance of realness and authenticity in hip hop culture by comparing and contrasting the spoken word movement with commercial hip hop.

  • Roundtable: VH1's (White) Rapper Show: Intrusions, Sightlines, and Authority
    Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 20, Issue 1, Pages 44–78 Roundtable: VH1’s (White) Rapper Show: Intrusions, Sightlines, and Authority Kyra Gaunt, Cheryl L. Keyes, Timothy R. Mangin, Wayne Marshall, and Joe Schloss With an Afterword by Miles White This roundtable was held at the annual meeting of IASPM-US in Boston on April 28, 2007. It was sponsored by the IASPM-US Diversity Committee, and chaired by IASPM-US President Harry Berger. It was organized and edited by Deborah Wong. It addressed Ego Trip’s (White) Rapper Show, a reality show aired on VH1 between January and March of 2007. The roundtable participants included five scholar-activists who have each written extensively about hip-hop and racialization. The proceedings offered here are a set of composite texts: some of the panelists transcribed their spoken contributions to the roundtable, and several opted to publish written versions of their comments or edited versions of their spoken presentations. This published version of the roundtable thus offers the spirit of the live event and more. We are especially pleased that Miles White, who was unable to participate in the roundtable as planned, offered a written afterword included here. We thank audience member Richard Smith for taping the proceed- ings. We especially thank former President Harry Berger for chairing the roundtable and for establishing the Diversity Committee for IASPM-US in 2005. Harry Berger: Hello, I’dlike to welcome everyone. My name is Harry Berger and I’m the President of IASPM-US for about another two hours. I would like to welcome everyone to the roundtable titled “VH1’s (White) Rapper Show: Intrusions, Sightlines, and Authority.” This panel is sponsored by the IASPM-US Diversity Committee and was organized by committee member Deborah Wong, who unfortunately could not be with us today.

  • Going Off! the Untold Story of Breaking's Birth Serouj Aprahamian a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies
    GOING OFF! THE UNTOLD STORY OF BREAKING’S BIRTH SEROUJ APRAHAMIAN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN DANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL 2021 © Serouj Aprahamian, 2021 ii Abstract When breaking first emerged in The Bronx, New York, of the 1970s, it was a dance practiced almost exclusively by African American teenagers. Yet, most scholarly accounts of the dance have focused on Latino/a youth and media narratives from the 1980s onwards to contextualize the form. As a result, much like jazz, rock ‘n roll, or disco dancing before it, one can refer to dominant discourse on breaking today and find almost no mention of the African Americans who ushered it in. I address this invisibilization of breaking’s African American founders by analyzing the overlooked accounts and experiences of its earliest practitioners from the 1970s. Utilizing a wide array of non-traditional primary sources, untapped archival material, first-hand interviews, and movement analysis, I offer a revisionist account of the social dynamics and systemic factors that led to the creation of breaking as a distinctly working-class African American expression and its subsequent marginalization and misrepresentation in academia. Given the significant discrepancy between the testimony of pioneering breakers and what has been reproduced in academic writings, I also utilize such testimonies to disrupt prevailing assumptions within the field of hip-hop studies. As part of this process, I emphasize the largely overlooked role breaking played in shaping hip-hop’s musical development, as well as the impact youth socialization and alternative identity formation had on the culture’s emergence.

  • HIP-HOP SIGNIFYIN(G) and the POLITICS of RECEPTION Is This
    CHAPTER II THE PULSE OF THE RHYME FLOW: HIP-HOP SIGNIFYIN(G) AND THE POLITICS OF RECEPTION Is this real, or a fiction? You'll never know While you're hooked to the pulse of the rhyme flow. -- Ice-T, "Pulse of the Rhyme Flow"1 1. Signifyin(g) and Power Whatever the role played by samples and breakbeats, for hip-hop's core audience, it's without question the rhymes that come first. Homophony has long posed a particular field of play, whether in the elaborate jokes of the troubadour's trobar clus or in the "alternative" words to the Pledge of Allegiance that have brought so much comic relief to those at the back of the classroom, and homophony (again, the play of similarity and difference) forms the basis for hip-hop's verbal Signifyin(g) practices. Whether at the level of names (Souljah, Gang Starr, Spinderella), metonymic shifts (Patrick Swayze plays a ghost in the film Ghost, so hip-hop lingo shortens "I'm out of here (like a ghost)" to "Swayze!"), or acronymic codes (NWA, BWP, BDP, HWA, LL Cool J2), it's this kind of continuous linguistic slippage and play that drives the verbal engines of rap. This slippage, as Gates was the first to emphasize, lies predominantly at the level of what linguists call the "paradigmatic" or vertical dimension. That is, if the unfolding of language over time is thought of as a horizontal strip, at each syntactical moment a vast range of possibilities is vertically "stacked." One can spin the wheel of grammatically and logically possible terms (e.g.
