  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

    Institute for Studies In American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York NEWSLETTER Volume XXXIV, No. 2 Spring 2005 Jungle Jive: Jazz was an integral element in the sound and appearance of animated cartoons produced in Race, Jazz, Hollywood from the late 1920s through the late 1950s.1 Everything from big band to free jazz and Cartoons has been featured in cartoons, either as the by soundtrack to a story or the basis for one. The studio run by the Fleischer brothers took an Daniel Goldmark unusual approach to jazz in the late 1920s and the 1930s, treating it not as background but as a musical genre deserving of recognition. Instead of using jazz idioms merely to color the musical score, their cartoons featured popular songs by prominent recording artists. Fleischer was a well- known studio in the 1920s, perhaps most famous Louis Armstrong in the jazz cartoon I’ll Be Glad When for pioneering the sing-along cartoon with the You’ re Dead, You Rascal You (Fleischer, 1932) bouncing ball in Song Car-Tunes. An added attraction to Fleischer cartoons was that Paramount Pictures, their distributor and parent company, allowed the Fleischers to use its newsreel recording facilities, where they were permitted to film famous performers scheduled to appear in Paramount shorts and films.2 Thus, a wide variety of musicians, including Ethel Merman, Rudy Vallee, the Mills Brothers, Gus Edwards, the Boswell Sisters, Cab Calloway, and Louis Armstrong, began appearing in Fleischer cartoons. This arrangement benefited both the studios and the stars.

  • Die Panther Und Der Löwe
    # 2000/18 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2000/18/die-panther-und-der-loewe Common und Jeru The Damaja Die Panther und der Löwe Von Tobias Rapp Damit sich alles ändert, hat sich Common viele Freunde gesucht, damit alles bleibt wie es ist, kämpft Jeru The Damaja alleine. Eines der wichtigsten Dinge im HipHop ist die eigene Posse. Die Jungs, mit denen man zur Schule gegangen ist, mit denen man die Vorliebe für bestimmte Turnschuh-Marken oder Schallplattenläden teilt, die Jungs, die mit einem abhängen und die einem die Joints bauen. So sieht es zumindest in der Frühphase einer Rapper-Karriere aus, und je länger sie dauert, desto wichtiger werden die Leute, mit denen man sich umgibt. Andere Rapper kommen dazu, Produzenten, Leute aus dem Business, Dealer, auf die Verlass ist, Groupies in jeder Stadt, das volle Programm. All diese Menschen sind nicht nur wichtig für die soziale Rückkoppelung, man braucht sie auch, damit man aus der Gruppe hervortreten kann, um zu sagen, was man zu sagen hat, und danach wieder in sie zurückzutreten. Auf der Rückseite von »Like Water For Chocolate«, dem neuen Album von Common, grüßt dieser buchstäblich Hunderte von friends & allys, jeder Gruß ist versehen mit einer kleinen Bemerkung. Nimmt man »Heroz 4 Hire« zur Hand, das neue Album von Jeru The Damaja, sucht man vergeblich nach irgendwelchen Eintragungen, Jeru grüßt nur sich selbst. Das war einmal anders. Beide begannen ungefähr zur gleichen Zeit ihre Karriere, in den frühen Neunzigern. Common nannte sich damals noch Common Sense, sorgte für kein besonders großes Aufsehen, sondern war einer der zahllosen Rapper, die auf den Marktplatz spaziert kamen, einer von denen, für die sich vor allem HipHop-Aficionados interessierten.

As recently documented by NPR, 1993 proved to be an important — nay, essential — year for hip-hop. It was the year that saw 2Pac become an icon, Biz Markie entangled in a precedent-setting sample lawsuit, and the rise of the Wu-Tang Clan. Indeed, there are few other years in hip- hop history that have borne witness to so many important releases or events, save for 1983, in which rap powerhouse Def Jam was founded in Russell Simmons’ dorm room, or 1988, which saw the release of about a dozen or so game-changing releases. So this got us thinking: Is there really a best year for hip-hop? As Treble’s writers debated and deliberated, we came up with a few different answers, mostly in the forms of blocks of four or five years each. But there was one thing they all had in common: they were all in the 1990s. Now, some of this can be chalked up to age — most of Treble’s staff and contributors were born in the 1980s, and cut their musical teeth in the 1990s.
