From The Ground Up: Cultural and Musical Implications of Live­Instrumental Hip­Hop A thesis submitted by Jonah Ullman In fulfillment of the requirements for College Honors UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT College of Arts and Sciences May, 2016 ADVISER: Alex Stewart ii ABSTRACT Traditional live instruments have played an important role in hip­hop production in various capacities since the earliest stages of the genre’s development. The dominant historical narrative often omits the frequency with which live instruments have been used in hip­hop. The authenticity of their use has been a point of contention in the discourse of hip­hop producers, consumers, critics and scholars. When used in accordance with hip­hop’s aesthetic sensibilities, however, they become a vehicle for innovative and authentic hip­hop. Tasteful use of live instruments opens up a range of possibilities in the realms of arrangement techniques and compositional freedom. The opportunities and challenges inherent in live­instrumental hip­hop are relevant in both studio and live settings. Live instruments are an alternative production technology that can coexist with sampling. Through analysis of the work of hip­hop artists (including The Roots, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, and Chance the Rapper) who have used live instruments in various capacities, this paper will present the cultural and musical implications of live­instrumental hip­hop. There is a dearth of scholarship on the topic of live­instrumental hip­hop, and the work that exists tends to deal with this method of production as an afterthought compared to sampling techniques. This paper seeks to fill a gap in scholarship by presenting the merits and challenges of live instruments as a discrete topic worthy of academic attention. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 I.

With its bouncy groove, rich instrumentation and powerful drums, the live rendition was in stark contrast to the song’s studio version. In keeping with the bleak industrial atmosphere of the album, the original recording of “Bound 2” is barren and minimalist. During the verses, Kanye’s vocals are accompanied only by a classic soul sample that has little low-end or percussion. On Fallon, The Roots rebuilt the beat from the ground up; their re-performance of the sample was lush and full, comfortably sitting atop a strong low end and drummer Questlove’s foundational breakbeat. Although it remained true to established hip-hop aesthetic sensibilities, the instrumentation of Kanye’s performance on Late Night was a far cry from tradition. Hip- hop is a genre defined by the turntables; according to a common narrative, the first hip- hop DJs flipped the script on culturally-imposed dichotomies of producer vs. consumer, of playback device vs. instrument, and transformed the old and tired into the new and fresh.2 Retrospective voices from within the hip-hop and academic communities have repeatedly recounted and analyzed the creation myth of hip-hop, painting the artistic decisions of pioneering DJs as primarily subversive and political; the DJ repurposed records to fight back against an exploitative music industry and reaffirm connections to a Black cultural identity.3 1 See Behrens 2 See Demers 2006, Lessig, McLeod and DiCola 3 See Perchard p. 2 2 In reality such a narrative, however satisfying it may be, does not encapsulate the pragmatic nature of the motivations of hip-hop’s pioneers. Listeners were exposed to the popular music of previous generations through sampling because DJs sampled records they loved, records they heard on their parents’ turntables as children. The idea of the DJ as mindful keeper of a collectivized racial musical identity is appealing, but inaccurate. The hip-hop “creation myth” does not consider one important technology which was present even in hip-hop’s first mainstream hit: live instruments.4 Producers used live instruments in various capacities from the advent of recorded hip-hop.5 To those with purist sensibilities, the choice to leave the turntables behind in favor of other instruments (whether they be digital samplers like the now-ubiquitous Akai MPC, or traditional live instruments) represented an abdication of hip-hop’s ethos; to these hip-hop “heads,” the soul of the music lay in the turntables and to leave them behind was nothing short of blasphemy. This is an understandable viewpoint for those who subscribe to the standard creation myth of hip-hop. However, hip-hop’s early development and embrace of instruments/technologies aside from the turntables is messier than this myth admits. If one acknowledges that traditional instruments have played an important role throughout hip-hop’s development, then what have been the cultural and musical implications of their use? 4 I use the term “live instruments” to describe instruments other than digital samplers and turntables. In informal discourse, the term “real instruments” is often used; this term delegitimizes the validity of sampling as a musical practice, and of samplers and turntables as instruments, and therefore should be avoided. 5 See Marshall p. 874 3 I. A HISTORY OF LIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HIP-HOP It is useful to begin with a brief account of the history of hip-hop which takes into account early uses of live instruments. According to the creation myth of hip-hop, the genre was born at a Bronx rec-room party in the summer of 1973. At this party, eighteen- year-old Clive Campbell, better known as DJ Kool Herc or simply Herc, established himself as a musical force to be reckoned with, and the pioneer of an exciting new musical form. Herc was born in 1955 in Kingston, Jamaica and spent the first twelve years of his life there before moving to the Bronx in 1967. His father, Keith, was an avid record collector and as a result, Herc was exposed to reggae, jazz, gospel, and country records from a young age.6 Beginning in 1970, Herc deejayed parties using his neighbor’s sound system. Keith purchased a powerful Shure PA system and began to run sound for a local R&B band. Herc had a knack for sound equipment, and his father took notice, allowing Herc to use his system, so long as he also played records during the R&B band’s set breaks. Herc established a reputation as a DJ and in 1974, moved his parties from the rec- room to the block.7 He paid close attention to the reactions of the crowds at his parties. Seeing that the people responded to the instrumental breaks in songs, he developed what he called the “Merry-Go-Round” technique, which entails using two copies of the same record on two turntables to extend the breaks. From this technique, hip-hop was born. The Bronx had been dominated by a number of rival gangs until the mid-70s, when the gangs began to fragment and be replaced in part by smaller crews, which were 6 See Chang pp. 67-72 7 See Chang p. 78 4 often organized around music.8 Herc and clique-members Coke La Rock and Dickie began to rap along with the records he played, hyping the crowd in a rhythmic fashion. By 1977, Herc’s style of deejaying had blown up, and other DJs with accompanying crews emerged, including Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash. This was the era of the “four elements” of hip-hop: DJing, emceeing, breakdancing and graffiti-writing. It is these four elements that provide the basis for the purist mindset. In October of 1979, hip-hop hit the mainstream with The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight.”9 The fifteen-minute-long piece was a major hit, and brought the MC to the foreground of what was typically a DJ-centric medium. Because the technology did not exist to adequately record turntables, the samples in “Rapper’s Delight” were interpolated (a common studio technique which denotes imitative re-performance of a sample source).10 The following year, in light of the success of “Rapper’s Delight,” Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five recorded “Superrappin’.”11 The song was originally a live performance routine which featured unison vocal lines alternating with breaks in which Flash demonstrated his prolific drum machine skills. In the studio version, however, the drum fills are replaced with an unremarkable percussion loop. The sample (drawn from “Seven Minutes of Funk” by The Whole Darn Family) was re-performed in this recording as well.

Managing the Boundaries of Taste: Culture, Valuation, and Computational Social Science Abstract The proliferation of cultural objects, such as music, books, film and websites, has created a new problem: How do consumers determine the value of cultural objects in an age of information glut? Crowd-sourcing – paralleling word-of-mouth recommendations – has taken center stage, yet expert opinion has also assumed renewed importance. Prior work on the valuation of artworks and other cultural artifacts identifies ways critics establish and maintain classificatory boundaries, such as genre. We extend this research by offering a theoretical approach emphasizing the dynamics of critics’ valuation and classification. Empirically, this analysis turns to Pitchfork.com, an influential music review website, to examine the relationship between classification and valuation. Using topic models of fourteen years of Pitchfork.com album reviews (n=14,495), we model the dynamics of valuation through genre and additional factors predictive of positive reviews and cultural consecration. We use gold record awards to study the relationship between valuation processes and commercial outcomes.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

From founders Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter’s and Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson’s humble beginnings at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA), to their double digit recorded albums and EPs, to an endless overseas touring schedule, and their current position as house band on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on NBC, The Roots have influenced generations of artists locally, nationally, and globally. As Mural Arts continues to redefine muralism in the 21st century, this project was one of its most ambitious and far-reaching yet, including elements such as audio and video, city-wide engagement through paint days, a talkback lecture series, and a pop-up studio. Working alongside SEFG Entertainment LLC and other arts and culture partners, Mural Arts produced a larger-than-life mural to showcase the breadth of The Roots’ musical accomplishments and their place in the pantheon of Philadelphia’s rich musical history. The mural is located at 512 S. Broad Street on the wall of World Communications Charter School, not far from CAPA, where The Roots were founded.

  • Jazz Et Hip-Hop : Check the Rhime in Bfcee
    Jazz et hip-hop : Check The Rhime in BFCee Crédit photo : Radio Kaizman par Florian Jannot-Caeilleté / JSL Guillaume Malvoisin Dans les papiers précédents de ce dossier, Mathieu Durand prenait 1998 et The Dawn, album d’Erik Truffaz paru chez Blue Note, comme repère d’une première œuvre majeure à sceller l’union entre jazz et hip-hop. De l’aveu de Truffaz, même : « des grooves très tranquilles, mais très difficiles à faire. » On quitte ainsi le domaine des «faiseurs d’instrumentaux qui piochent dans le répertoire du jazz » pour aller visiter celui « des instrumentistes qui écrivent, réinventent et s’approprient cette nouvelle culture musicale et poétique. » De la niche dans la niche. Précieux, complexe et fascinant. Si on considère que la TV s’est allumée en Bourgogne-Franche- Comté en même temps qu’ailleurs dans l’hexagone, on peut retenir que le hip hop s’est invité dans les maisons par son show achipé-achopé de Sidney, millésimé TF1 de 1981. On pourrait retenir qu’il s’est infiltré, aussi, deux ans plus tard, par les salves de synthèse du Rock It servies par Herbie Hancock en 1983. Ce peut être, pour faire très bref, les années d’allumage de ceux qui le pratiquent aujourd’hui dans la grande région. Cela, mais aussi, dix ans plus tard le jazz- rap sabré par A Tribe Called Quest sur Midnight Marauders, par exemple. Ce peut être, pour faire très court, les années de formation de ceux qui le pratiquent aujourd’hui dans la grande région. Sidney, la Tribe et Truffaz. Une possible trinité pour les prods régionales.

  • ENG 350 Summer12
    ENG 350: THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP With your host, Dr. Russell A. Potter, a.k.a. Professa RAp Monday - Thursday, 6:30-8:30, 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 two required textbook are Bradley and DuBois’s Anthology of Rap (Yale University Press) and Neal and Forman’s That's the Joint: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader are both available at the RIC campus store. 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 is also a course blog with a discussion board and a wide array of links to audio and text resources at http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ WRITTEN WORK: An informal response to our readings and listenings is due each week on the blog.

  • J Dilla and the Future of Humanity by Kyle Etges the First Time One Listens
    J Dilla and the Future of Humanity By Kyle Etges The first time one listens to the track “Swamp Thing” by Hiatus Kaiyote, your first thought might be “what the fuck am I listening to?” But then a weird thing happens: the groove envelops you, and for reasons you can’t quite articulate, your bobbing your head right along with Perrin Moss. This track, among many others from the last 20 years, is a perfect example of the wobble beat: a beat that feels like it’s constantly teetering on a complete trainwreck, and yet it gives us one of the deepest grooves found in all modern music. How can something so volatile be so much fun to listen to? The “wobble” or “Dilla” beat is not only an obvious indication of progressive neo-soul, but also a sign of a shift in our tastes in music, and our reactions to the progress of humanity itself. The wobble beat itself can be hard to describe, but as we delve further into its inner workings, it will become evident that that’s the whole idea. This drum beat is usually credited to J Dilla (aka James Dewitt Yancey), a hugely influential music producer from Detroit until his untimely death in 2006. During his career, J Dee worked with the likes of Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, The Pharcyde, and many many more, and has had a seminal impact on hip hop and neo-soul music in the 21st century. At the time of this writing, I am not sure of the specific session drummer who first laid down this complicated beat.
