Comedian, Writer and Rapper Wunderkind Donald Glover Shows Comedian, Writer and Rapper Wunderkind Donald Glover Shows Off His Side-Splitting Stand-Up Style When the World Premiere of "Donald Glover: Weirdo" Debuts Saturday, November 19 at 11:00 P.M. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL® NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Donald Glover dispenses excess hysterics in his new one-hour World Premiere Stand-Up Special "Donald Glover: Weirdo," debuting on Saturday, November 19 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL. Filmed at the Union Square Theatre in New York City, Glover shares his unique childhood tales about his unrequited love for Cocoa Puffs, his burning desire to voyage to Toys"R"Us and the ins and outs of the N word. Glover utilizes his unique brand of comedic storytelling and a keen youthful narrative to churn out an uncanny amount of guffaws in his first-ever COMEDY CENTRAL one-hour special. Tina Fey saw Glover perform while he was attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts through his involvement with the irreverent and innovative DERRICK Comedy troupe. She later offered him a job on her critically acclaimed series, "30 Rock," where he spent three seasons on the writing staff. Glover has also written for COMEDY CENTRAL's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents." He has appeared on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," and COMEDY CENTRAL's "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents," "Live At Gotham" and "The Hot List." He currently stars as Troy, the loveable jock in NBC's hit series, "Community." Glover is a triple threat. In addition to acting and writing, he is also an accomplished musician, rapping under the moniker "Childish Gambino" and recently concluded his sold-out national IAMDONALD Tour and is set to release his debut album "Camp" on November 15 through Glass Note Records. "Donald Glover: Weirdo" was executive produced by Greg Walter, produced by Michelle Caputo and directed by Shannon Hartman.

  • Music Video As Black Art
    IN FOCUS: Modes of Black Liquidity: Music Video as Black Art The Unruly Archives of Black Music Videos by ALESSANDRA RAENGO and LAUREN MCLEOD CRAMER, editors idway through Kahlil Joseph’s short fi lm Music Is My Mis- tress (2017), the cellist and singer Kelsey Lu turns to Ishmael Butler, a rapper and member of the hip-hop duo Shabazz Palaces, to ask a question. The dialogue is inaudible, but an intertitle appears on screen: “HER: Who is your favorite fi lm- Mmaker?” “HIM: Miles Davis.” This moment of Black audiovisual appreciation anticipates a conversation between Black popular cul- ture scholars Uri McMillan and Mark Anthony Neal that inspires the subtitle for this In Focus dossier: “Music Video as Black Art.”1 McMillan and Neal interpret the complexity of contemporary Black music video production as a “return” to its status as “art”— and specifi cally as Black art—that self-consciously uses visual and sonic citations from various realms of Black expressive culture in- cluding the visual and performing arts, fashion, design, and, obvi- ously, the rich history of Black music and Black music production. McMillan and Neal implicitly refer to an earlier, more recogniz- able moment in Black music video history, the mid-1990s and early 2000s, when Hype Williams defi ned music video aesthetics as one of the single most important innovators of the form. Although it is rarely addressed in the literature on music videos, the glare of the prolifi c fi lmmaker’s infl uence extends beyond his signature lumi- nous visual style; Williams distinguished the Black music video as a creative laboratory for a new generation of artists such as Arthur Jafa, Kahlil Joseph, Bradford Young, and Jenn Nkiru.

  • (LACMA) Hosted Its Ninth Annual Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 2, 2019, Honoring Artist Betye Saar and Filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón
    (Los Angeles, November 3, 2019)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) hosted its ninth annual Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 2, 2019, honoring artist Betye Saar and filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón. Co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, the evening brought together more than 800 distinguished guests from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries, among others. This year’s gala raised more than $4.6 million, with proceeds supporting LACMA’s film initiatives and future exhibitions, acquisitions, and programming. The 2019 Art+Film Gala was made possible through Gucci’s longstanding and generous partnership. Additional support for the gala was provided by Audi. Eva Chow, co-chair of the Art+Film Gala, said, “I’m so happy that we have outdone ourselves again with the most successful Art+Film Gala yet. It was such a joy to celebrate Betye Saar and Alfonso Cuarón’s incredible creativity and passion, while supporting LACMA’s art and film initiatives. I couldn’t be more grateful to Alessandro Michele, Marco Bizzarri, and everyone at Gucci—our invaluable partner since the first Art+Film Gala—and to Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals for making this evening one to remember.” “I’m deeply grateful to our returning co-chairs Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio for helping us set another Art+Film Gala record,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director. “We honored two incredibly powerful artistic voices this year. Betye Saar has helped define the genre of Assemblage art for nearly seven decades, and recognition of her as one of the most important and influential artists working today is long overdue.

  • Är Det Här Amerika?
    Är det här Amerika? En kvalitativ studie om musikvideon “This is America” och dess plats i den samhälleliga kontexten. Is This America? A qualitative study about the music video “This is America” and its position in the social context. Philip Alfredsson & Wictor Palmgren Fakulteten för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap/Kommunikation & PR (program) C-uppsats - 15 hp Emilia Ljungberg HT 2018 Sammanfattning Att musik väcker känslor är nog något som vi alla kan komma överens om. Musiken kan få oss att skratta, gråta, dansa, ja, alla känslouttryck kan skapas genom den. Och kanske är den ultimata låten den som får oss att känna allting på en och samma gång, och får oss att vilja lyssna på den om och om igen. Vissa låtar med tillhörande musikvideos exploderar och får miljoner, för att inte tala om miljarder, klick. Musiken kan ibland bli mer än bara en låt, och folk kan bli sittandes och diskutera dess mening i timtal. Låten ​This is America​, med tillhörande musikvideo, är en sådan. Den här studien redogör för den videons beståndsdelar, hur den anspelar med den nutida politiska kontexten och vad för eko den har skapat till omvärlden. För att ta reda på hur videon blivit så populär författade vi en övergripande frågeställning som löd: “Hur ska vi förstå meningsskapandet i ​This is America​?”. Utifrån vår forskningsöversikt, kunde vi finna att ett popkulturellt fenomens mångtydighet och öppenhet till tolkning, bäddar för dess popularitet. Genom historien finns det även fog för att musik som är sprungen ur utanförskap och som kritiserar samhället, har möjlighet att bli än mer populär.

  • How "The Lion King" Remake Is Different from the Animated Version by USA Today, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 07.29.19 Word Count 854 Level MAX
    How "The Lion King" remake is different from the animated version By USA Today, adapted by Newsela staff on 07.29.19 Word Count 854 Level MAX Image 1. Mufasa (left) and Simba in a scene from Disney's animated "The Lion King" which was released in 1994. Photo by: Disney Studios How does Disney tell the story of a lion becoming king in 2019? Well, largely the same way it did in 1994. This time the movie studio is using photorealistic computer-generated imagery (CGI). Jon Favreau's remake of "The Lion King" (in theaters since July 19) brings Simba, Nala, Scar and the whole pride back to the big screen with new voice talent but much of the original plot intact. Fans of the animated classic get those moments they love: Simba's sneeze, the cub's presentation to the kingdom, Timon and Pumbaa's vulture-kicking entrance. Even much of the dialogue is identical to that of the 25-year-old movie. But there are some changes that add a half-hour of running time to the story. Here are a few notable updates, aside from the obvious fact that the animals no longer look like cartoons. Be prepared for a different version of Scar's sinister song, and for new Beyoncé music. This time, Scar (Chiwetel Ejiofor) doesn't so much croon "Be Prepared" as deliver his signature song like a dark, militaristic monologue. In place of a catchy chorus and humorous digs at hyenas This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com.
