  • Black Women Queering the Mic: Missy Elliott Disturbing the Boundaries of Racialized Sexuality and Gender
    Journal of Homosexuality, 58:775–792, 2011 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 0091-8369 print/1540-3602 online DOI: 10.1080/00918369.2011.581921 Black Women Queering the Mic: Missy Elliott Disturbing the Boundaries of Racialized Sexuality and Gender NIKKI LANE, PhD Candidate Department of Anthropology, American University, Washington, DC, USA Though there were and always have been djs, dancers, graffiti artists, and rappers who were Black women, they are placed on the periphery of hip-hop culture; their voices, along with “gay rap- pers” and “white rappers” devalued and their contribution to the global rise of hip-hop either forgotten or eschewed. This article is an attempt to articulate the existence of Black women who work outside of the paradigms of the “silence, secrecy, and a partially self-chosen invisibility” that Evelynn Hammonds describes. At the center of this article lies an attempt to locate a new configura- tion and expression of desire and sexuality, opening a door, wide open, to gain a different view of Black women, their sexuality, their expression of it, and the complexities that arise when they attempt to express it in hip hop nation language. KEYWORDS Black women, hip-hop, linguistic anthropology, queer, rap INTRODUCTION Cecilia Cutler (2003) writes that “there is a powerful discourse within hip-hop that privileges the black body and the black urban street experi- ence” (p. 212). What is important to understand, however, is that there is a particular gendered Black body that is privileged in hip hop. The body is of the urban Black heterosexual male, and his set of experiences shape not only the discourse, but also the language of hip hop itself.

  • A Look in Our Lives: Mary J. Blige's My Life, the 4991 Series, and Black Women's Narratives As Working Cultural Memories - Ada New … ISSUE NO
    2/25/2021 A Look In Our Lives: Mary J. Blige's My Life, The 4991 Series, and Black Women's Narratives as Working Cultural Memories - Ada New … ISSUE NO. 6 A Look In Our Lives: Mary J. Blige’s My Life, The 4991 Series, and Black Women’s Narratives as Working Cultural Memories Regina N. Bradley The initial inspiration for my critical dialogue project The 4991 Series stemmed from fleeting moments of nostalgic recognition that some of my favorite albums and films were turning twenty years old. The string of pivotal moments from 1994’s year in black music paralleled my own coming of age story growing up black in the 1990s. While select anniversaries have been discussed at length – i.e. Nas’ Illmatic album – little attention focuses on staple moments from 1994 produced by or featuring black women. TLC’s CrazySexyCool, Mary J. Blige’s My Life, Aaliyah’s Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number, Da Brat’s Funkdafied, and Brandy’s Brandy are major milestones in popular music that update the trajectory of black women’s narratives in American culture. Thus, the premise of The 4991 Series is to highlight these albums as entry points for discussing late 20th and 21st century race, gender, and identity politics. A Breakdown of The 4991 Series Production Process Aesthetic Influences The 4991 Series exists as a crux of public space, race, and popular scholarship. Perhaps most unique about this project is the intentionally unorthodox approach to scholarship and archive – the loose, conversational style of the interview/dialogue format is meant to reflect the unorthodox if not messy experiences of being black and female in a deemed postracial era – post everything? – society.

  • So So Defvirgin's First Hip-Hop Release
    So So DefVirgin's First Hip-Hop Release Written by Robert ID1243 Friday, 22 April 2005 02:45 - Inspiration from the streets and the booming beat laboratories of Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans and all points in between, the upcoming So So Def/Virgin collection "JERMAINE DUPRI PRESENTS... YOUNG, FLY & FLASHY VOL. 1" promises to inject a heavy dose of Southern flavor into the national hip-hop & rap scene at its release on July 19. Virgin Records Urban Music President Jermaine Dupri noted that the album continues a decade of Southern-based talent development that has yielded both crossover hits and music for the hardcore. Says super-producer Dupri, who has helmed current smash hits for superstar artists like Mariah Carey and Usher: "''Young, Fly & Flashy'' is the definition of myself and the lifestyle of So So Def. This collection is an introduction of the new, up-and-coming So So Def artists: Young Capone, T. Waters and The Kid Slim, among others." The first single and video release from the collection is the club banger "Gotta Getcha" from Dupri himself. Concurrently, the streets will continue to bubble with two additional tracks: the serious-as-a-heart-attack battle rhyme "I''m Hot" by Young Capone with West Coast rapper Daz and T-Roc guesting; and "Throw''d Off," by T. Waters. The song "I Think They Like Me," by Franchise featuring So So Def kingpin Dupri, has already been leaked pre-release and is currently heating up mixtapes and underground rap radio mix shows from coast to coast. Dupri also heads up "10 Toes," with help from rap artists J-Kwon, Stat Quo, Slim and Daz.
