An Autoethnography of Scottish Hip-Hop: Identity, Locality, Outsiderdom and Social Commentary
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Napier An autoethnography of Scottish hip-hop: identity, locality, outsiderdom and social commentary Dave Hook A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University, for the award of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 Declaration This critical appraisal is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed:_________________________________________________________ Date:______5th June 2018 ________________________________________ Dave Hook BA PGCert FHEA Edinburgh i Abstract The published works that form the basis of this PhD are a selection of hip-hop songs written over a period of six years between 2010 and 2015. The lyrics for these pieces are all written by the author and performed with hip-hop group Stanley Odd. The songs have been recorded and commercially released by a number of independent record labels (Circular Records, Handsome Tramp Records and A Modern Way Recordings) with worldwide digital distribution licensed to Fine Tunes, and physical sales through Proper Music Distribution. Considering the poetics of Scottish hip-hop, the accompanying critical reflection is an autoethnographic study, focused on rap lyricism, identity and performance. The significance of the writing lies in how the pieces collectively explore notions of identity, ‘outsiderdom’, politics and society in a Scottish context. Further to this, the pieces are noteworthy in their interpretation of US hip-hop frameworks and structures, adapted and reworked through Scottish culture, dialect and perspective. -

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. -
New Album from Rap MC Talib Kweli 11-22
New Album from Rap MC Talib Kweli 11-22 Written by Robert ID2069 Wednesday, 02 November 2005 08:22 - One of hip-hop’s highly charged and talented rap MC’s Talib Kweli will release his new CD "Right About Now...," thru KOCH Records and Blacksmith Music on November 22nd. The album features fellow hip-hop and rap artists Jean Grae, Mos Def, Papoose and others also features 12 all new tracks. The first singles "Who Got It," produced by Kareem Riggs, and "Fly That Knot" are reacting simultaneously at urban radio right now. Kweli states, "''Right About Now'' sums up this project. Usually when my music comes out, the people hear where I was a year ago. This project represents where I am right now." Rap artist Talib Kweli is currently co-headlining The Breed Love Odyssey Tour (sponsored by PlayStation and House of Blues) with Mos Def. The national tour continues through the end of the year and also features Jean Grae, Pharoahe Monch and Medina Green. Kweli is a member of legendary groups Black Star (with Mos Def) and Reflection Eternal (with super producer Hi-Tek), as well as a successful solo artist, and has established himself as one of the most skilled artists in hip-hop today. Kweli ranks among the most respected MCs in the game -- even garnering reverence from multi-platinum artist Jay-Z in his song "Moment of Clarity" on the platinum release "The Black Album." With lyrics that range from the classic battle rap to emotionally charged, socially conscious commentary, Kweli is an intelligent wordsmith who has the knack for bridging the gaps between hip-hop fans of all types. -

ESSAY/ANALYSIS Hip-Hop, Social Justice, and Environmental Education
THE JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, 43(3), 192–203, 2012 Copyright C Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 0095-8964 print/1940–1892 online DOI: 10.1080/00958964.2011.633579 ESSAY/ANALYSIS Hip-Hop, Social Justice, and Environmental Education: Toward a Critical Ecological Literacy Michael J. Cermak Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, USA This essay describes an educational initiative that used environmentally themed (green) hip-hop to stimulate learning in an environmental science classroom. Students were then challenged to compose their own green hip-hop and their lyrics demonstrated skills that have thematic consistency around what is called a Critical Ecological Literacy (CEL). An analysis of more than 200 creative pieces collected from eight runs of this curriculum over four years shows that CEL can be used as a guiding concept for the creation of curriculum targeting urban areas and racially diverse learners. Several examples of this student-produced green hip-hop are shared to delineate elements of CEL that can help educators evaluate student learning as well as their own teaching materials. Keywords critical literacy, environmental education, hip-hop, nature, rap New World Water make the tide rise high, Come inland and make your house go “Bye” Fools done upset the Old Man River, Made him carry slave ships and fed him dead nigga Downloaded by [205.204.248.88] at 13:13 05 November 2014 —Mos Def, New World Water, 1999 When I first heard Mos Def’s rap, it expanded my notion of how water moves through our environment. In his song “New World Water,” he presents the world’s fresh water crisis, weaving together themes of ecology and racial injustice. -
