  • Vanjess Release Stunning New Song “Come Over” – out Now on Keep Cool/ Rca Records
    VANJESS RELEASE STUNNING NEW SONG “COME OVER” – OUT NOW ON KEEP COOL/ RCA RECORDS NEW SINGLE FOLLOWS COLLABORATIONS WITH SINEAD HARNETT, MASEGO, ANT SAUNDERS, MANNYWELLZ & MORE LISTEN & WATCH HERE “HARMONIES SO FLUID, THAT IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER” – PITCHFORK [New York, NY – September 3, 2020] Today, Nigerian-American sister duo VanJess present “Come Over,” their latest soulful release for Keep Cool/RCA Records. With a driving bass and drums that could soundtrack any bedroom disco, “Come Over” is another showcase for these sisters’ perfected harmonies. The “Come Over” music video is even more indebted to smooth ‘90s R&B – a throwback to landline phones and talking to our crushes in our basements. As VanJess proves, some activities, and some emotions, are timeless. "For this video, we really wanted to capture vintage glamour but still feel like the future and represent who we are," VanJess explain. "Early in quarantine we were really inspired looking at old photos of our parents in Nigeria and thought about what being at home living the lyrics of this record would look like in their world. We hope this song makes everyone feel good and dance, we believe energy and soul and tempo still has a place in R&B!" Listen & Watch “Come Over”: https://smarturl.it/xComeOverx “Come Over” is the latest track in a current hot streak for VanJess. They have previously worked with KAYTRANADA, Ari Lennox, Xavier Omăr & more, and within the past three months, have collaborated with some of their most acclaimed peers on songs including “Stickin’” (Sinead Harnett and Masego, who appeared on VanJess’ 2018 debut LP), “I Had A Love Song” (Ant Saunders), and “Floating” (Mannywellz).

HIP-HOP’S DIVERSITY AND MISPERCEPTIONS by Andrew Cashman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a Degree with Honors (Anthropology) The Honors College University of Maine August 2020 Advisory Committee: Joline Blais, Associate Professor of New Media, Advisor Kreg Ettenger, Associate Professor of Anthropology Christine Beitl, Associate Professor of Anthropology Sharon Tisher, Lecturer, School of Economics and Honors Stuart Marrs, Professor of Music 2020 Andrew Cashman All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The misperception that hip-hop is a single entity that glorifies wealth and the selling of drugs, and promotes misogynistic attitudes towards women, as well as advocating gang violence is one that supports a mainstream perspective towards the marginalized.1 The prevalence of drug dealing and drug use is not a picture of inherent actions of members in the hip-hop community, but a reflection of economic opportunities that those in poverty see as a means towards living well. Some artists may glorify that, but other artists either decry it or offer it as a tragic reality. In hip-hop trends build off of music and music builds off of trends in a cyclical manner.

  • Aesthetic Play and Bad Intent
    Article Aesthetic Play and Bad Intent Andrew J. Kerr† Threatening words or images are assumed by American courts to be non-art. But this threshold question of art status is complicated by the evolution of rap and performance art. There is no articulable way to discern art from non-art for these non- textual media, a problem compounded in the unique context of the Internet. In civil litigation we can resort to institutionalist tests like audience reception. But mens rea matters in criminal prosecution. I favor judicial pragmatism in what I argue here is a very non-legal area of law. I. INTRODUCTION In March 2016, Compton rapper YG released the single, “FDT”, shorthand for “fuck Donald Trump,” as a critical response to the then Republican primary challenger. The track was rec- orded in about an hour,1 and eventually became a summer an- them because of its political appeal.2 VICE Media’s Noisey pub- lication celebrated it as the best track of 2016. Some of the lyrics are rote and predictable. Still, it possesses a vital energy and contains several clever lines, such as the couplet: “Reagan sold coke / Obama sold hope.”3 Any rap fan would recognize the song † Lecturer of Legal English, Georgetown University Law Center. I thank Robin West, Alexa Freeman, Sonya Bonneau, and Xiangyu Zhang for their help- ful comments, as well as the organizers and participants of the 2017 Law and Literature conference at Masaryk University for their formative feedback on this project.

  • Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) La Vicenda Politica Di Fred Hampton, Leader Delle Pantere Nere Ucciso Dall'fbi Nel 1969, Raccontata Dalla Parte Di Chi Lo Tradì
    Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) La vicenda politica di Fred Hampton, leader delle Pantere nere ucciso dall'FBI nel 1969, raccontata dalla parte di chi lo tradì. Un film di Shaka King con Jesse Plemons, Daniel Kaluuya, Lakeith Stanfield, Martin Sheen, Dominique Fishback, Terayle Hill, Ashton Sanders, Robert Longstreet, Lil Rel Howery, Algee Smith. Genere Biografico durata 126 minuti. Produzione USA 2021. La storia vera del gruppo delle Pantere Nere dell'Illinois e dei tragici eventi che ne seguirono. Roberto Manassero - www.mymovies.it A Chicago, verso le fine degli anni Sessanta, il criminale minorenne Bill O'Neal accetta di fare l'informatore per l'FBI dopo il suo arresto. Infiltrato da un agente nell'influente Black Panther Party, O'Neal scala le gerarchie del partito e si avvicina al suo leader Fred Hampton, prima arrestato e poi liberato in attesa dell'appello. Militante di giorno e traditore stipendiato la notte, Bill vive in maniera tormentata la sua doppia natura, da un lato aderendo alla visione politica di Hampton ma dall'altra contribuendo in maniera decisiva alla sua violenta uccisione, avvenuta per mano dell'FBI nel dicembre 1969. Il ritratto di una figura chiave della politica afroamericana degli anni Sessanta evita per fortuna il santino, scegliendo come protagonista lo sguardo incerto del Giuda che lo ha condannato a morte. Il titolo è più che esplicito: al cinema Giuda viene sempre prima di Gesù. In questo caso, un Giuda che lavora per l'FBI e un messia che a fine anni '60, dopo le uccisioni di Malcolm X e Martin Luther King, portava avanti la battaglia del popolo afroamericano: Fred Hampton, leader delle Pantere nere di Chicago (interpretato da Daniel Kaluuya, premiato con un Golden Globe al migliore attore non protagonista in un film drammatico), politico e ideologo marxista che professava una visione rivoluzionaria in grado di superare tradizioni e retaggi di una cultura preziosa ma subalterna.
