  • Rap Vs. Hip Hop
    Chris L. Terry’s debut novel Zero Fade was on Best of 2013 lists by Kirkus Reviews and Slate.com, and shortlisted for the American Library Association’s Best Fiction for Young Adults. He lives in Los Angeles, and has contributed to Razorcake since 2006. Born in East L.A., like every good Mexican boy, Art was raised in the Imperial Valley of California, where he was bathed in cartoon and monster movie glory from both sides of the border. He began scribbling at a young age and later found out he could get paid meager wages to do artwork and illustration. He currently lives in Orange County CA and spends his time spilling ink on his drawing board and trying to sell his paintings. One Punk’s Guide is a series of articles where Razorcake contributors share their love for a topic that is not traditionally considered punk. Previous Guides have explored everything from pinball, to African politics, to outlaw country music. Razorcake is a bi-monthly, Los Angeles-based fanzine that provides consistent coverage of do-it-yourself punk culture. We believe in positive, progressive, community-friendly DIY punk, and are the only bona fide 501(c)(3) non-profit music magazine in America. We do our part. One Punk’s Guide to Rap Music originally appeared in Razorcake #96, February/March 2017. Original article layout by Todd Taylor. Adapted to zine by Matthew Hart.

ISSN: 1540-9503 (online) 1058-8167 (print) DOI: 10.1300/J116v04n04_02 http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wmus20/current http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wmus20/4/4 © 1996 The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved. Getting Hip to the Hop: A Rap Bibliography/Discography Leta Hendricks ABSTRACT. This bibliographic/discographic essay examines works which may be used to develop a core collection on Rap music. A selected bibliography and discography is also provided. INTRODUCTION Research interest has recently emerged in the popular African-American musical idiom known as Rap and continues to grow as social and cultural scholars have embarked on a serious study of Rap music and culture. Therefore, the student, scholar, and general library patron may seek information on Rap and its relationship with the African-American community. During the 1970's, libraries rushed to include in their holdings culturally diverse materials, especially materials on African-American history, literature, and culture. Today, emphasis is placed on cultural diversity, Rap is sometimes deemed to be low art and may be overlooked in the collecting of diverse materials. However, Rap has already celebrated its sixteenth anniversary and, like Rock and Roll, Rap is here to stay. Rap music research is difficult because (1) the librarian or information provider generally lacks knowledge of the category,' and (2) primary/ephemeral materials are not widely accessible.2 This selective bibliographic and discographic essay examines a variety of Rap resources and materials including biographies, criticisms, discographies, histories, recordings, and serials to help fill the Rap knowledge and culture gap and assist in the development of a core collection on Rap music.

  • HERE`S a LITTLE STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD Microphone Grandmistresses, Lady Def Jams, Battle Queens, Mixmistresses, Fly Emcees, Spinderellas from the Late 70S to 1990
    JEE-NICE PRESENTS: HERE`S A LITTLE STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD Microphone Grandmistresses, Lady Def Jams, Battle Queens, Mixmistresses, Fly Emcees, Spinderellas from the late 70s to 1990. Enjoy & spread the word! This Booklet is dedicated to all the ladies who rock da mike and spin the turntables. This copied fan-mag tries to discover the story of female hiphop activity from the beginning of hiphop culture in the late 70s to 1990. There is a cut in 1990. It was difficult to draw that line, to decide which artists to include and which not. Yo Yo, Queen Mother Rage, Sister Souljah, BWP, Conscious Daughters are not in it because they are more 90s then 80s. Nikki D, Tairrie B. and L.A. Star are on the edge, but I included them, because they are more 80s. What I did was to collect all the lyrics and pictures, which I could find and republish facts which are important for making history. I didn’t want to write anything new, I wanted to collect, to see what you can find out (in Germany), if you want to. In the end it’s not much and nothing that was published in the german language. You will find the source material in an appendix, so that you can check out where it comes from and read more, if you want to. Pictures without numbers are from my own record collection. This compilation can’t be complete and some facts will be wrong, but I have tried to make it as accurate as I can.

The Arts and Entertainment Supplement to the Daily Nexus, for March 9th through March 15th, 1995 % Interview by Kevin Carhart he music of Lois Maffeo is a very pleasant sensa­ tion: memorable melodies over minimal acoustic T guitar chords and a crunching drum. The catchi­ ness doesn’t give a clue to the depth that sinks in upon closer examination— Lois’ lyrics are a balance of warm and cutting, heartfelt and stinging. It’s a further pleasure to see Lois in concert because she’s really funny— her jokes all hit, she has the crowd roaring. For years she’s been a staple of the principled in­ dependent music scene up in Olympia, Wash., where her label, Up'Records, is located. Her new tour has just begun, and she’s playing the Liv­ ing Room on Saturday. You can’t get much better than melody, humor, warmth, principle and proximityl A rtsw eek spoke to Lois on the phone just before the tour started, and what follows is an edited transcript.
