Starin' Multiple gunshots fill the block, the fun stops Niggas is callin' I wonder when the world stopped caring last night Two kids shot while the whole block staring I will never understand this society First they try to murder me, then they lie to me Product of a dying breed, all my homeys trying weed Now the little baby' Tell me, will my enemies flee when they see me, believe me Even thugs gotta learn to take it easy, listen Through intermissions, search your heart for a plan And we turnin' Now I was raised as a young black male In order to get paid, forced to make crack sales Caught a nigga so they send me to these overpacked jails In the cell, countin days in this livin' To the end, my friends I' While I' They got me starin' Go on baby, scream to God, he can' I can feel your heart beatin' ( sound of gunshots ) TUPAC: I got shot. I always felt like I' Somebody was trying to do me some harm because a lot of people don' But I didn' at that particular moment. ( police sirens wail ) I' I believe that, you know, this is all in God' And I'for everything I'( ) But also, about death, we look at death from the selfish side, like, you know, "That guy died. Oh, it' He'I mean, at the worst, he' At best, he' You know, what is so bad about that? Throughout my life, I just wanted to be like an angel for God, do something where I could be of some help. And I can do that. I mean, I' So it' All I have to do is tell a story and reach you and get some kind of feeling from you. And then try to get the moral across. So this is my story. A story about ambition, violence, redemption and love. ( ) ( wind whistling softly ) In my life, I was different things for different people. What'Don' Off the streets So fuck peace I let them niggas know it' So let the West Side ride tonight Bad Boy murdered on wax and killed Fuck with me you' Yeah, my niggas say...

Get out the way yo, get out the way yo... ( drumbeat rhythm playing ) TUPAC: Everybody' It' Speak, drums, tell the real story My mother was a Black Panther, and she was really involved in the movement. CROWD: Power! MAN: Power! CROWD: Power! MAN: Power to the people! CROWD: Power to the people! You know, just black people bettering themselves and things like that. ( funkadelic music plays ) Black seeds keep on blowin' Black seeds keep on blowin' TUPAC: She had a high position in the Panther Party, which was, like, unheard of, because of course there was sexism, even in the Panthers. All of my roots to the struggle are real deep. I was named after this Inca chief from South America whose name was Tupac Amaru. And I think the tribal breakdown means, like, intelligent warrior, something like that. He' If I go to South America, they' I' My stepfather at the time, Mutulu Shakur, he was also, like, a well-known revolutionary. And then my godfather, Geronimo Pratt, had a top official rank position with the Panthers on the West Coast. You can jail a revolutionary, but you can' TUPAC: I think that my mother, like Fred Hampton, Mark Clark, Harriet Tubman, they felt like they were laying tracks for a generation to come. MAN: Come on in, little brothers, come on in, little sisters. Y' TUPAC: There was always white people around helping out. But still, you know, there' So when the Panthers hit, the government panicked. And they felt like the Panthers were detrimental to American society. Remember, this country had a man named J. Edgar Hoover, whose job it was to destroy the credibility of any black man coming up. And that' Power to the people. Hang ups Let downs Bad breaks Setbacks The government raided every Panther' especially the ones who they felt like could do the most damage as an orator. So they just burst in and put a gun to my mother' "Don' They treated her like less than human. My mother was pregnant with me while she was in prison. She was her own attorney, never been to law school. She was facing 300-and-something-odd years. One black woman, pregnant, beat the case. That just goes to show you the strength of a black woman and the strength of the oppressed. And a month after she got out of prison, she gave birth to me. So I was cultivated in prison. My embryo was in prison. When I was a little baby, I remember that one moment of calm peace, and three minutes after that, it was on.

I always used to feel like she cared more about the people than her people. And then after that was over, it was more time spent with me, and we were both just, like, "You' And she was like, "You'So then she was really close with me and really strict, almost. My mother is totally brilliant, totally understanding and caring. And she' but we can talk about it. She taught me how to be community-oriented, and to analyze society. So me and my sister grew up good, and we have good minds and everything. But we just didn' From the cradle to the grave Life ain' Livin' Yeah, yeah Poverty is...

When I was young, I was quiet, withdrawn. I read a lot. I wrote poetry. I kept a diary. I watched TV all the time. I stayed in front of the television.

  • Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’S Blown Away Tour
    COUNTRY CULTURE AND CROSSOVER: Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour Krisandra Ivings A Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in Music with Specialization in Women’s Studies University of Ottawa © Krisandra Ivings, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the complex and multi-dimensional narratives presented in the work of mainstream female country artist Carrie Underwood, and how her blending of musical genres (pop, rock, and country) affects the narratives pertaining to gender and sexuality that are told through her musical texts. I interrogate the relationships between and among the domains of music, lyrics, images, and staging in Underwood’s live performances (Blown Away Tour: Live DVD) and related music videos in order to identify how these gendered narratives relate to genre, and more specifically, where these performances and videos adhere to, expand on, or break from country music tropes and traditions. Adopting an interlocking theoretical approach grounded in genre theory, gender theory, narrative theory in the context of popular music, and happiness theory, I examine how, as a female artist in the country music industry, Underwood uses genre-blending to construct complex gendered narratives in her musical texts. Ultimately, I find that in her Blown Away Tour: Live DVD, Underwood uses diverse narrative strategies, sometimes drawing on country tropes, to engage techniques and stylistic influences of several pop and rock styles, and in doing so explores the gender norms of those genres. ii Acknowledgements A great number of people have supported this thesis behind the scenes, whether financially, academically, or emotionally.
