Racial Gatekeeping in Country & Hip-Hop Music By Cervanté Pope Student ID #: 947767021 Portland State University Pope 2 Introduction In mass communication, gatekeeping refers to how information is edited, shaped and controlled in efforts to construct a “social reality” (Shoemaker, Eichholz, Kim, & Wrigley, 2001). Gatekeeping has expanded into other fields throughout the years, with its concepts growing more and more easily applicable in many other aspects of life. One way it presents itself is in regard to racial inclusion and equality, and despite the headway we’ve seemingly made as a society, we are still lightyears away from where we need to be. Because of this, the concept of cultural property has become even more paramount, as a means for keeping one’s cultural history and identity preserved.

His music has gained critical acclaim and success over the past ten years, winning two Grammys as well as countless other awards. By avoiding the traps faced by ​ mainstream artists, Frank Ocean has resisted allowing others to control his art and creative process. Frank Ocean released various projects throughout his career that assisted in the growth and exposure of himself as an artist. His works include two studio albums, eight music videos, a visual album, and eighteen singles. Many of his original songs have charted countless times on the Billboard Hot 100, both on his own and in collaboration with others. Eight of his solo efforts ​ ​ have reached that standing, including “Novacane,” “Thinkin Bout You,” “Chanel,” “Nikes,” “Ivy,” “Pink + White,” “Solo,” and “Nights.” All of his compositions include an emotional narrative as well as a beautifully composed musical structure.

  • Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters) Till Sverige
    2007-08-21 15:07 CEST Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters) till Sverige Mark Kozelek (US) 23 oktober – Stockholm, Södra Teatern 24 oktober – Göteborg, Stenhammarsalen För en sisådär tio, femton år sedan hände det sig kanske att man var ganska djupt förälskad i den där personen med ett så härligt skratt och cynisk världsbild. Den där tjejen/killen som man visste att man aldrig skulle kunna ha ett förhållande med, som man mitt i kärleken inte ville ha ett förhållande med. Den personen kan ha hetat Karin eller Kristoffer, men med hundra procents säkerhet lyssnade hon/han på Red House Painters. Och så gjorde även du. Tillsammans grät ni er igenom All Mixed Up. En mindre pophistoria senare har Mark Kozelek släppt epitetet Red House Painters och äntrat scenen under eget namn. En historia som inkluderar skivbolagstrassel, en och annan skådespelarinsats, en genomgång av AC/DC’s alster under eget namn, en genomgång av Modest Mouse’ alster som Sun Kil Moon och en låtkatalog utan dess like efter ett decennium som Red House Painters och efter det Mark Kozelek. Kozelek är geniet som kan påstås ha skapat den våg av nattsvart melodisk rock som sköljt oss över bord sedan början av nittiotalet. Långsamt, gärna med fingerplockande akustisk gitarr har han fått de hårdaste hardcore-rävarna att gråta, de kvittrigaste fåglarna att slåss. För det ligger något våldsamt i Kozeleks musik. Sorgen i kombination med lugnet påminner om alltings förgänglighet, uppbrottet som underordnande faktor. Med en röst som man inte kan bestämma om den ligger högt eller lågt, aldrig i närheten av en falsk ton och med en känsla med lika delar Nick Drake, Elliot Smith och, ja, Bon Scott sjunger Kozelek om maktlöshet, undertryckt ilska, våld och kärlekstörst.
