Intro Geto Boys Ah yeah… Yeah, this is Lil J and the Geto Boys in this mutha once again And we kicked the door in just like I told you we would in '91 and '92 But you know, there's a lot of people mad about our success Such as the DEA, IRS, and other wicked people in high places You know, when I was growing up, people used to tell me how dir ty the system was But I refused to be controlled by an ungodly system So now they're mad, and I'ma tell you why I was born in the ghetto, but I didn't allow myself to be syste mized by the welfare system and poverty that they try to handic ap us with in the ghetto I worked my ass off, I pulled brothers off the street And together, we built a multi-million- dollar record company in a few years I did it the way it was supposed to be done By hiring lawyers and accountants, make sure everything is done legally But there's still one problem: I'm Black So, those people whom I referred to earlier feel like I've done something wrong And escaped all the traps they set for us in the ghetto They really are upset with me for helping my brother get off th e street Yeah, they were getting down for theirs—you know what I mean Doing what they had to do to survive So you know what they say? Those guys at Rap-A- Lot must be doing something wrong Because it's no way a group of niggas from the ghetto can run a multi-million-dollar business But see, it's all a conspiracy against ghetto boys all over the world to keep down But you know what? It's our time, and we can't be stopped Until death do us apart So keep supporting Rap-A- Lot, because they only kind of dope we're selling Is dope CD's and cassettes Yo, Bido, Scarface, Big Mike, and Bushwick Here's some of that ghetto dope processed in 5th Ward Texas Tištěno z pisnicky-akordy.cz Sponzor: www.srovnavac.cz - vyberte si pojištění online!

The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond.

(2001) 96- 126 Gangsta Misogyny: a Content Analysis of the Portrayals of Violence Against Women in Rap Music, 1987-1993*
Copyright © 2001 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture All rights reserved. ISSN 1070-8286 Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture, 8(2) (2001) 96- 126 GANGSTA MISOGYNY: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE PORTRAYALS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN RAP MUSIC, 1987-1993* by Edward G. Armstrong Murray State University ABSTRACT Gangsta rap music is often identified with violent and misogynist lyric portrayals. This article presents the results of a content analysis of gangsta rap music's violent and misogynist lyrics. The gangsta rap music domain is specified and the work of thirteen artists as presented in 490 songs is examined. A main finding is that 22% of gangsta rap music songs contain violent and misogynist lyrics. A deconstructive interpretation suggests that gangsta rap music is necessarily understood within a context of patriarchal hegemony. INTRODUCTION Theresa Martinez (1997) argues that rap music is a form of oppositional culture that offers a message of resistance, empowerment, and social critique. But this cogent and lyrical exposition intentionally avoids analysis of explicitly misogynist and sexist lyrics. The present study begins where Martinez leaves off: a content analysis of gangsta rap's lyrics and a classification of its violent and misogynist messages. First, the gangsta rap music domain is specified. Next, the prevalence and seriousness of overt episodes of violent and misogynist lyrics are documented. This involves the identification of attributes and the construction of meaning through the use of crime categories. Finally, a deconstructive interpretation is offered in which gangsta rap music's violent and misogynist lyrics are explicated in terms of the symbolic encoding of gender relationships.

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.

Music 103 Syllabus
MUS 103: HIP HOP SEMESTER/YEAR???? ?? Shepard Hall Prof. Chadwick Jenkins ([email protected]) Days/Times Office: 78B Shepard Hall; Phone: X7666 Office Hours: ?? Course Objectives: This course will explore the history of hip hop from the earliest formations of the genre in the 1970s to the current moment. This course will have four primary areas of emphasis. First, although we will be interested in other elements of hip hop culture (including dancing, graffiti, literature, etc.), our primary focus will be on the music (the DJ, MC, and production techniques that go into producing hip hop tracks and albums). Second, this class will emphasize the development of the business and promotional aspects of hip hop. Hip hop has become a major business venture for recording studios, record labels, fashion venues, etc. and has had a huge impact on Black and White business in the US. Third, we will devote a large portion of our time to the developing technologies surrounding hip hop including turn tables, drum machines, MPCs, etc. Fourth and finally, we will explore the cultural and political impact hip hop has had on representations of Blackness, political views of violence and equity, and constructions of gender, race, and authenticity. Thus, this class will contribute to the following Departmental Learning Outcomes: 1) Outline major periods in the development of hip hop and recall key facts, writers, performers, technological advances, producers, and ideas; 2) Identify the technological developments contributing to hip hop, the business of hip hop production, and the impact hip hop has had on the social and political life of the US and beyond; 3) Identify different genres, performers, and musical styles through listening; 4) Demonstrate proficiency in writing about key concepts in hip hop history with a focus on descriptive writing (accounting for the sounds of the musical tracks and not just the lyrics, history, and biographical background).

ENG 350 Summer11
ENG 350: THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP With your host, Dr. Russell A. Potter, a.k.a. Professa RAp Mondays and Wednesdays, 6:00-9:00, Craig-Lee 252 http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ In its rise to the top of the American popular music scene, Hip-hop has taken on all comers, and issued beatdown after beatdown. Yet how many of its fans today know the origins of the music? Sure, people might have heard something of Afrika Bambaataa or Grandmaster Flash, but how about the Last Poets or Grandmaster CAZ? For this class, we’ve booked a ride on the wayback machine which will take us all the way back to Hip-hop’s precursors, including the Blues, Calypso, Ska, and West African griots. From there, we’ll trace its roots and routes through the ‘parties in the park’ in the late 1970’s, the emergence of political Hip-hop with Public Enemy and KRS-One, the turn towards “gangsta” style in the 1990’s, and on into the current pantheon of rappers. Along the way, we’ll take a closer look at the essential elements of Hip-hop culture, including Breaking (breakdancing), Writing (graffiti), and Rapping, with a special look at the past and future of turntablism and digital sampling. Our one required textbook, Bradley and DuBois’s Anthology of Rap (Yale University Press) is AVAILABLE AT THE OFF-CAMPUS BOOKSTORE ON SMITH ST. Films shown in part or in whole will include Bamboozled, Style Wars, The Freshest Kids: A History of the B-Boy, Wild Style, and Zebrahead; there will also be a Blog with a discussion board and a wide array of links to audio and text resources.

Introduction
Introduction The New South is the epicenter of neoteric sex wars, technologies, and economies. Issues of reproductive freedom, criminalization of sexual practices, HIV/AIDS, partner rights and marriage equality, and transgender rights reveal how southern states have entered into another era of reconstruction centered on sexuality and gen- der. This New South strategizes sexual violence and terrorism into policies about education, immigration, wage labor, and eco- nomic development: not unlike the Old South’s previous era of crafting Black Codes and Jim Crow, it continues to depend upon anti-Blackness, sexual morality, and dehumanization of the poor for its growth and support. Yet, there is a great deal of resistance in the New South made evident by the strategies and missions of movements including SONG (Southerners on New Ground), Sis- terSong, Women with a Vision, BreakOUT!, Black Lives Matter chapters, Moral Mondays, and sanctuary movements. Thus, this book understands and reiterates that sexual resistance is already happening. It celebrates, examines, and highlights the various 1 2 / Introduction modes that resistance has taken and the possible future directions it may take. While persons living in southern states typically classified under the broad rubric of “the South” know that there is not one South but many, there are historical narratives that have ignored the development of multiple Souths. Recent developments in southern studies unravel essentialist ideas of “the South.” Some of the essentialisms being challenged include agrarianism, Christian-centricity, singular public/political identity linked with the Confederacy, racial binary of Black/white, and genteel men and women. In explaining their concerted scholarly effort to bring southern studies and global studies into conversation with each other, Deborah Cohn and Jon Smith state that ”con- structions of southern identity offered by white male southern- ers, from the Confederate flag to .
