4 Your Eyez Only By: J.Cole (2016) Jermaine Cole Is an American Anaiah Fleury 1 4 Your Eyez Only by: J.Cole (2016) Jermaine Cole is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and record executive with his five chart-topping albums as a solo artist, nine Top 40 singles as a headliner, adn a dozen Grammy nominations J.Cole is seen as one of the most successful rappers. Each one of his albums has also gone platinum, Cole continues this streak of astounding work as he changed his approach to be more lyrical, by sharply criticizing issues in society, rather than making music for entertainment purposes. Similarly to other African American artists, J.Cole has actively stated that he protests for African Americans he has even participated in the Black Lives Matter Movement. Through the use of his music Cole has touched base on social issues in today’s society. ​ Often addressing race, Cole has referenced the media’s influence on women, common insecurities, police brutality, racial profiling, and depression. Along with his recent release, here is a compilation of songs to which the Dreamville artist tackled such issues. Through Cole’s album,4 Your Eyez Only, he put out his point of view and brought people into his perspective on ​ ​ a lot of these social and political issues that go on in our world today. For Example, In his song, Immortal, Cole addresses the ongoing stereotypes the black community faces when it comes to ​ its success. Rapping in the perspective of James (a man who was referenced a lot during the album), Cole dives into the come up of being a kingpin in the drug dealing game. Cole uses the line “God they love to serve a ni**a three hots and a cot” to reference the police brutality in society. “Three hots and a cot” is a metaphor that not only refers to the three hot meals and a cot you get in prison, but also to police brutality, since “hot ones” is slang for bullets, while “cot” could allude to a casket. Either way, Cole uses this line to emphasize how the police are putting his friends to sleep. Jermaine not only writes about police brutality but also how there is still an Anaiah Fleury 2 unequal presence in society when it comes to race. For Example, In his song, Immortal, Cole ​ ​ states , “Have you ever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon? Have you ever seen a ni**a that was black on the moon? Have you ever seen your brother go to prison as you cried? Have you ever seen a motherf***in' ribbon in the sky?” Cole here laments over racial inequality. As of 2016, 14 black men have been astronauts for NASA however none of them have stepped foot on the moon. To see a ribbon in the sky is to see fate deliver something positive, like a shooting star or a rainbow, both of which are usually associated with ribbons and appear in the sky. Towards the end of the song he raps, “They tellin' ni**as, "sell dope, rap or go to NBA," (in that order). It's that sort of thinkin' that been keepin' niggas chained.” Cole comments on the socially-imposed idea that, in order for Black people to be successful, they have to sell drugs, become well-known rappers, or make it into professional basketball. Cole states that this mentality is what is holding them back from realizing their full potential. He continues then to relate these societal bonds to the bonds of slavery. Continuing through the album, Cole comes out with the song, Change. Don’t let the ​ ​ upbeat tempo of this song fool you; Cole ends “Change” striking the listener by addressing the ​ ​ shooting of a 22-year-old boy named James. “Change” references black crimes in the ​ ​ community and asks for a “call of action” to change for the better amongst the inner cities. J.Cole uses this motif commonly throughout his songs “My intuition is telling me they'll be better days.'' He uses this to emphasize that the path that you’re on is the right one which these lines continue, he feels as if things will improve if they stick to it. He also uses the allusion, “My faith don't deviate, ideas don't have a date. But see I'm growing and getting stronger with every breath. Bringing me closer to heaven's doors with every step” In Christianity, there is a belief Anaiah Fleury 3 that death does not have the final word. So, Cole is saying that, because God understands the pain and brokenness, he won’t be a harsh judge. But, he isn’t scared to die because of the confidence he has in an afterlife. Next in his song ,“Neighbors”, He discusses how racial profiling is no stranger to the ​ ​ black and he paints one of the many horrific pictures people of color go through today. Through the use of an anecdote he recalls a SWAT team busting down his recording studio doors in search of drugs. His relocation to a nice neighborhood posed a threat to residents, who assumed he was a dealer. This memory showed how through wrongfully racial profiling people can be put others in scary siuations that shouldn’t occur in the first place. Also uses symbolism in the line, “My sixteen should've came with a coffin.” This is because the life expectancy for the average American is 79 years old, but nearly half of Black Americans aren’t certain they’ll make it past their 30’s. Cole implies that his childhood environment was so rough that he could have died when he was just 16. Finally the last song on the album is “4 Your Eyez Only”. For almost nine minutes, Cole ​ ​ ​ perfectly ends his fourth album by seamlessly switching from James’ point of view in the first few verses, to his own by the end, as he explains the death of his friend to his daughter. The song is an ode to his late friend for his struggles and going through them for the sake of his daughter. Though this song derives from a back story of crime, and also relates to the fatherless youth without male role models in their lives. In the lines, “And my daughter gotta eat. Her mama be stressing me like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her feet. Like I ain't out in the field like that. I might be low for the moment but I will bounce back” Cole symbolizes that due to the drought caused by the police presence in the streets, James comes face to face with the pressure Anaiah Fleury 4 to try and provide for his family. “In the field” is a euphemism that is often used in hip hop to compare the physical work of farming to being actively involved in crime, fame/success, or in this context, getting money by any means necessary to support a family. Through his music J.Cole is really making a change throughout the world by bringing to the light some of the issues that the black community has that may not be completely spoken about. In an article by The Guardian Newspaper, they wrote that they don't see J.Cole as one of those rappers that only wants to be famous, but as a rapper that wants to make a difference. In the beginning people felt that Cole was just going through the motions until police shootings around the country (and the following protests) snapped him awake. He then began to re-evaluate what his music could do. For Example, Cole was among the first responders on the scene in Ferguson,Missouri after the Death of Michael Brown and has written a handful of ​ ​ protest songs since the incident. For decades, the founders of rap, the pioneers who provided the foundation for hip-hop, have remained locked in an seemingly everlasting battle with the up-and-coming rappers who are shifting the sound of the genre. Those who advocate for old school rap, otherwise known as “old heads,” claim that old school rap is vastly better than the new rap that is coming out and that present day rappers are ruining the craft. Despite the controversy, rapper J. Cole has seemed to find a middle ground and begun to end the debate without picking a side. The Dreamville rapper’s influence has impacted the rap game for the past decade, and seems to be making a complete shift in hip-hop. Anaiah Fleury 5 .

  • Downtrodden Yet Determined: Exploring the History Of
    DOWNTRODDEN YET DETERMINED: EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF BLACK MALES IN PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL AND HOW THE PLAYERS ASSOCIATION ADDRESSES THEIR WELFARE A Dissertation by JUSTIN RYAN GARNER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, John N. Singer Committee Members, Natasha Brison Paul J. Batista Tommy J. Curry Head of Department, Melinda Sheffield-Moore May 2019 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2019 Justin R. Garner ABSTRACT Professional athletes are paid for their labor and it is often believed they have a weaker argument of exploitation. However, labor disputes in professional sports suggest athletes do not always receive fair compensation for their contributions to league and team success. Any professional athlete, regardless of their race, may claim to endure unjust wages relative to their fellow athlete peers, yet Black professional athletes’ history of exploitation inspires greater concerns. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to explore and trace the historical development of basketball in the United States (US) and the critical role Black males played in its growth and commercial development, and 2) to illuminate the perspectives and experiences of Black male professional basketball players concerning the role the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), collectively considered as the Players Association for this study, played in their welfare and addressing issues of exploitation. While drawing from the conceptual framework of anti-colonial thought, an exploratory case study was employed in which in-depth interviews were conducted with a list of Black male professional basketball players who are members of the Players Association.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, Its People
    It’s Not Me, It’s You: Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, its People by Sharieka Shontae Botex April, 2019 Director of Thesis: Dr. Wendy Sharer Major Department: English The origins of Hip Hop evidence that the art form was intended to provide more than music to listen to, but instead offer art that delivers messages on behalf of people who were not always listened to. My thesis offers an analysis of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content and adds to an ongoing discussion of the potential Hip Hop artists have to be effective leaders for the Black community, whose lyrical content can be used to make positive change in society, and how this ability at times can be compromised by creating content that doesn’t evidence this potential or undermines it. Along with this, my work highlights how some of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content exhibits their use of some rhetorical strategies and techniques used in social movements and their use of some African American rhetorical practices and strategies. In addition to this, I acknowledge and discuss points in scholarship that connect with my discussion of their lyrical content, or that aided me in proposing what they could consider for future lyrical content. I analyzed six Jay-Z songs and six J. Cole songs, including one song from their earliest released studio album and one from their most recently released studio album. I examined their lyrical content to document responses to the following questions: What issues and topics are discussed in the lyrics; Is money referenced? If so, how; Is there a message of uplift or unity?; What does the artist speak out against?; What lifestyles and habits are promoted?; What guidance is provided?; What problems are mentioned? and What solutions are offered? In my thesis, I explored Jay-Z and J.

  • Abstract One Love: Collective Consciousness in Rap and Poetry
    Abstract One Love: Collective Consciousness in Rap and Poetry of the Hip-Hop Generation by Austin Harold Hart April, 2012 Thesis Director: John Hoppenthaler Major Department: English (Literature and Poetry) This study aims to offer an understanding of hip-hop culture through which three concepts are elucidated: (1) the existence and dimensions of a collective consciousness within rap and poetry of the hip-hop generation (Allison Joseph, A. Van Jordan, Terrance Hayes, Major Jackson, Taylor Mali, and Kevin Coval); (2) a poetics of rap—to parallel the influence seen/suggested among the selected poets; and (3) an analysis of the manner(s) in which the poetry of these more serious, academic artists reflects an influence of hip-hop culture. My thesis suggests that these poets are indeed influenced by the culture in which they grew up, and in their verse, this influence can be seen through linguistic playfulness, sonic density, layered meaning and usage through form and content, and the connection to a larger cultural, collective consciousness fed by specific social bodies. Poetic analysis, as well as studies of vernacular and oral traditions, has allowed me to explore these concepts and theories from a wider spectrum, and with regard to the work of the poets, an original perspective. Providing a deeper understanding of artists, their identities, places, and dreams within their work, this study begins to offer some insight into notions of the ways in which individuals might participate in cultural conservation.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This dissertation asks what hiphop is doing in predominantly white higher-educational contexts, specifically in composition classrooms. Using ethnographic, autoethnographic, and historical methods, it finds that hiphop’s work in composition classrooms at PWIs is contradictory. This mixed-methods investigation suggests that the contradictory relation of white fans, students, and institutions to hiphop is shaped on the one hand by white listeners’ increasing identification with the historical struggles of African Americans under capitalism, and on the other hand, by disidentification or abjectification of African Americans in an effort to “win” the zero-sum game of capitalism. This contradiction results in a paradoxical situation where white fans—and white institutions—love hiphop and yet harbor antiblack views about the Black communities and Black students who make hiphop possible. However, the findings also suggest that identifying this tension offers writing instructors an opportunity to be more explicit about working towards anti-racist goals in the hiphop composition classroom. The dissertation’s historical study, ethnographic and autoethnographic studies, and review of contemporary hiphop and composition scholarship suggest that teaching and practicing reflexivity are core solutions to the paradoxical rhetorical action of hiphop in predominantly white spaces.

  • What It Means to Love (Through a Black Lens) Senior Thesis Paper the Ohio State University Advisors: Crystal Michelle Perkins-Fu
    Hurd 1 What It Means to Love (Through A Black Lens) Senior Thesis Paper The Ohio State University Advisors: Crystal Michelle Perkins-Fuller & Dr. Melanye Dixon Taylor Hurd Hurd 2 Description: “What it Means to Love (through a Black lens)” investigates the roots of Black love intergenerationally. The research puts into conversation a collection of data and research papers, interviews, movies, and music to help understand the impact that culture has on African American’s perception of love. I used scientific studies to find the quantitative statistics of African American relationships through articles like Marriage Among African Americans: What Does the Research Reveal? by Patricia Dixon, as well as qualitative studies such as A Qualitative Exploration of Why Faith Matters in African American Marriages and Families by Loren Marks. I also read articles that explore the social and economic influences on African American relationships such as You Ain’t no Denzel: African American Men’s Use of Popular Culture to Narrate and Understand Marriage and Romantic Relationships by Armon R. Perry and Courtship Season by Eleanor Alexander. I also looked at how certain movies that have importance in the Black community showcase those romanticized ideas about love and relationships like Love & Basketball, Brown Sugar, and Belly. The analysis of musical influences like Lemonade by Beyoncé, 4:44 by Jay-Z, and 4 Your Eyez Only by J. Cole contributed to this analysis and deconstruction as well. Lastly, I conducted interviews with my peers and family members from different generations to see how they have been influenced throughout their lives and their views on relationships.
