  • Rick Ross – Bio (Port of Miami 2) After Thirteen Triumphant Years Served In
    Rick Ross – Bio (Port of Miami 2) After thirteen triumphant years served in the coliseum of hip hop, Rick Ross has begun his victory lap towards rap legend. The catalyst for the leader of the Maybach Music Group’s longevity is consistency. After introducing himself in 2006 with a classic anthem (“Hustlin’”) and platinum debut (Port of Miami), the Slip-N-Slide franchise player spent the following decade plus dominating as both mogul and Top 10 scribe. While his mighty pen positioned him as peer to southern kings like T.I. and Gucci Mane and empowered him to stand bar-for-bar with the greatest to ever spit (Jay-Z, Andre 3000, Drake) and sing (Chris Brown, Usher, John Legend), Ross’ contribution to his craft and culture travels far deeper than rap. Grammy nominations and classic verses aside, “The Biggest Boss” graduated his unparalleled vision and insane work ethic from Carol City’s unforgiving corners to corner offices and corporate partnerships. Inside the music business, his MMG label catapulted the careers of future legends Meek Mill and Wale. Outside of the biz, he’s the brilliant owner of a litany of brands from spirits (Belaire, Bumbu) to comfort food franchises (Wingstop, Checkers). But after birthing nine stellar albums, Ross, like any great, has challenged himself to outdo his greatest work. He accomplishes that on his latest opus Port of Miami 2. “I felt album number 10 is a special one,” says Ross. “It’s a milestone period. It almost feels like Pac doing the double CD.” Rozay’s tenth studio composition as the sequel to his debut is apropos poetry.

  • Hip Hop As Cultural Capital: Remixing Bourdieu's Theory to Affirm Cultural Wealth
    Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS) ISSN: 2547-0044 http://ellids.com/archives/2019/03/2.3-Turner.pdf CC Attribution-No Derivatives 4.0 International License http://ellids.com/ Hip Hop as Cultural Capital: Remixing Bourdieu's Theory to Affirm Cultural Wealth Milanika Turner Hierarchical societies reproduce themselves through cultural resources that generate social value. The values attached to these so- cial and cultural resources are determined from the top social strata and then disseminated throughout society via mediums like education. Pitched as a supplement to mainstream pedagogy, hip-hop based edu- cation (HHBE) uses rap songs and lyrics as curricular resources to teach a variety of disciplines. HHBE has been inserted into teaching practice since the 1990s to enhance English language arts analyses (Hall 343; Morrell and Duncan-Andrade 89) in addition to providing context and relevancy for humanities and social science curricula (Stovall 587). However, the pedagogical potential of HHBE has thus far used hip hop lyrics as an accessory to reinforce the transmission of dominant social values through education instead of utilizing the in- herent value of hip hop as its own form of social and cultural capital. Applying Yosso’s conceptualization of community cultural wealth to rap music provides evidence of the social value of hip hop for educa- tion and broader society even after decades of negative characteriza- tions of the genre. Despite its popularity in the United States of America, hip hop culture is misunderstood by many. The popular discourse on rap music is unjustly negative. Throughout history black popular music has been blamed for the propagation of a number of social ills including the de- terioration of families, urban decline, and juvenile delinquency.

  • SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University
    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE August 2017 SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University Tessa Rose Brown Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Arts and Humanities Commons Recommended Citation Brown, Tessa Rose, "SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University" (2017). Dissertations - ALL. 764. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/764 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. 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.

As such, researchers continue to explore ways and means by which Black male students can engage with and enact literacy. While a significant amount of research has been conducted on hip-hop pedagogies and literacy, there lacks examination into how the specific element of battle rap functions as a location to cultivate the critical consciousness of students. This research seeks to highlight how the genre of battle rap can be a pedagogical tool of literary expression, while simultaneously shedding traditional standards of instruction which have constrained learning opportunities, particularly for Black male students. Critical literacy as a theoretical framework and critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a methodology are employed to advance battle rap as an effective instructional tool.
