Craig Watkins BLING-BLING BRAND PLACEMENTS: MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BRAND MENTIONS IN HIP-HOP MUSIC by Nakeisha Shannell Ferguson, B.S.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2008 Acknowledgments I must first thank God, as he has given me the vision to achieve, strength to endure, and faith to continue. I must also recognize my parents (Ned & Sherry Ferguson) who gave me words of encouragement and love when I needed it most. Your prayers and sacrifice will change the lives of many. Outside of family, the most important person to a doctoral student is the chair/advisor. I had the benefit of having two: Gerri and Jerome. Dr. Gerri Henderson was not only one of my co-chairs, but my friend, mentor, cheerleader, idea generator, research partner, editor, shoulder to cry on, roommate, and the list goes on. Most importantly, she was available and helpful whenever I needed her. Gerri‘s classroom extended outside of the university walls. She taught me not only research, but also lessons in academia, life and commitment. She truly has become the big sister I never had and I am honored to call her my advisor. Dr. Jerome Williams has been quite supportive in my journey as well. In fact, he has remained in continuous contact with me throughout my program, offering financial and spiritual support, caring words, and motivation. In particular, Jerome‘s role was a changing one and his ability to adapt was astounding. In the early stages, he was my guidance counselor. By the middle of the program, he shifted to my co-author and during my dissertation, he become my personal quantitative consultant. It seems Dr. Williams was always there when I needed him most (which included him stepping up to be my co-advisor). Overall, having Jerome, a legend in multicultural marketing and advertising, was a great honor in itself. I would also like iv to thank the hardest working committee in show business or academia: Drs. Arthur Sakamoto, Matt McGlone, Lee Ann Kahlor, Minette Drumwright, and Craig Watkins. Special thanks to Charles Moody (a pastor after God‘s own heart), Delvin Sorrell (the best brother on the planet), Janee Burkhalter (my research twin), Terry Sawyer (laughing buddy and best freaking administrator this side of heaven), Laura Bright (my other side), Velma Gooding (my sister in the cohort), Kevin Thomas (my ghost teacher), L.D., Keith and Crystal Fowler, Shaun Robinson, Jaslynn Dodds, Brian Anderson and The ROCK family for being so supportive in this entire journey. I could not have completed this if not for their help. I must also thank my fellow graduate students for their love and support. I pray that God‘s blessings overtake you all in everything you do! v BLING BLING BRAND MENTIONS: MEASURING PRODUCT PLACEMENT EFFECTIVENESS IN HIP-HOP MUSIC Publication No._____________ Nakeisha Shannell Ferguson, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2008 Co-Supervisor: Geraldine Rosa Henderson Co-Supervisor: Jerome Williams This dissertation contributes to the body of literature on consumer behavior and marketing communication by exploring how brand mentions in music influence memory, attitudes, and purchase intentions. Even though the definitions of product placement have expanded to include a variety of media, there is no scholarly literature that explores this phenomena. More importantly, there are conceptual differences between product placement and brand mentions that differentiate this form of promotion. Thus, two studies were conducted to test the influence of brand mentions on hip-hop consumers ages 18-36. Study One (n=204) used a hip-hop song created specifically for this research with four brands in the lyrics with varying degrees of prominence in the song and congruence with hip-hop culture. Three fictitious press releases were also used vi to manipulate perceived initiator. A 3x2x2x2 repeated measures with between subjects design was employed to analyze the effects of the executional factors (prominence and congruence), perceived initiator and primary beneficiary, along with involvement on the dependent variables. In Study Two, 30 in-depth interviews were conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomena in Study One. The overall findings suggests that brand mentions may be an effective tool to increase brand awareness. In Study One, highly prominent, incongruent brands were remembered more in comparison to high prominent congruent brands, but this effect was reversed in the low prominent conditions. In addition, 87% of the subjects were able to recall at least one brand mentioned in the song. Highly involved participants had more favorable attitudes towards the brands than low involved participants. However, the difference was most evident in the rating of congruent brands. The hypothesized interaction between perceived initiator and involvement was not supported. Additionally, the findings did not support the predicted effects of perceived primary beneficiary. However, findings in Study Two reveal possible explanations. Study Two also revealed four emergent themes that influence the effectiveness of brand mentions in hip-hop music: third person effect, authenticity, consumer skepticism, and ethics. The current research is the first attempt to tackle this phenomena empirically. Thus, there were some limitations as well as many future research directions. vii Table of Contents List of Tables ..........................................................................................................x List of Figures .........................................................................................................xi Chapter 1 .................................................................................................................1 Introduction and Purpose ........................................................................................1 Chapter 2 .................................................................................................................5 Literature Review....................................................................................................5 Hip-hop Culture ..........................................................................................5 Hybrid Messages ........................................................................................9 Brand Mentions in Music............................................................................15 Product Placement ......................................................................................16 Effectiveness Measures ...............................................................................20 Factors Impacting Effectiveness .................................................................23 Summary .....................................................................................................28 Chapter 3 .................................................................................................................30 Theoretical Framework ...........................................................................................30 Persuasion Knowledge Model ....................................................................30 Meaning Transfer Model ............................................................................34 Elaboration Likelihood Model ....................................................................38 Chapter 4 .................................................................................................................43 Study One................................................................................................................43 Overview of Hypotheses .............................................................................43 Methodology ...............................................................................................44 Results .........................................................................................................50 Recall Hypotheses Testing ..............................................................51 Attitudes Hypotheses Testing .........................................................54 Purchase Intentions Testing ............................................................56 Discussion ...................................................................................................57 Summary .....................................................................................................59 Chapter 5 .................................................................................................................61 Study Two ...............................................................................................................61 Methodology

  • London Assembly 15 September 2004
    Item 4 London Assembly 15 September 2004 Forty-Fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Author: The Mayor This is my forty-fourth report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 2 July – 1 September 2004. Transport 2004 Spending Review On 20 July, the allocation of funds for transport under the 2004 Spending Review was made with the Secretary of State for Transport granting permission for TfL to borrow nearly £3 billion over the next five years. This will allow the Olympic projects to proceed, including the East London Line. This groundbreaking package will also help give a degree of assurance over funding provision for future projects as it gives TfL certainty over the next 5 years. I also welcomed the announcement that Alistair Darling MP, the Secretary of State for Transport will proceed with a Hybrid Bill for the construction of Crossrail. This announcement opens the possibility of London’s most important transport development for 40 years. Crossrail will give London the backbone of a 21st century transport system, underpinning hundreds of thousands of jobs in London’s financial district and sustaining London’s position as the world’s leading international financial centre. There are tough negotiations ahead before Crossrail can be built, above all on funding, but the Government is to be congratulated in the strongest terms for having the courage to take this vital step for London. Crossrail’s interchange with the rebuilt and extended East London Line, which was also given the go-ahead in the Transport Secretary’s statement on the Government’s five year transport plan and transport Spending Review, will give easy transport access from London’s most deprived areas to its most dynamic business district.

  • 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.

Smith ii ABSTRACT My paper questions the degree to which the hip hop subculture is oppositional to mainstream American society and its ideals. Toward that end, I examine the structure of the hip hop industry and its subculture. While the hip hop subculture in America consistently has projected images of rebellion and resistance to many of the mores, constraints and values of dominant society, the actual structure and organization of the hip hop subculture have mirrored, supported and promoted the values of the dominant culture in the United States. I begin by examining the structure of the main elements of the hip hop subculture: deejaying, breakdancing, emceeing and graffiti art, and the practices within each to demonstrate that the hip hop subculture has a structure which supports capitalistic practices.

  • “One Line Flows, Yeah I Got Some of Those”: Genre, Tradition, and the Reception of Rhythmic Regularity in Grime Flow
    “ONE LINE FLOWS, YEAH I GOT SOME OF THOSE”: GENRE, TRADITION, AND THE RECEPTION OF RHYTHMIC REGULARITY IN GRIME FLOW Alexander Harvey Marsden A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Music Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal Allen Anderson Mark Katz © 2017 Alexander Harvey Marsden ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Alexander Harvey Marsden: “One Line Flows, Yeah I Got Some of Those”: Genre, Tradition, and the Reception of Rhythmic Regularity in Grime Flow (Under the direction of Jocelyn Neal) In its musical style and performance practices, the British rap genre grime bears the traces of London’s electronic dance music scene, out of which it emerged in the early 2000s. One such trace is grime’s characteristic style of flow—the rhythmic dimensions of a rapper’s delivery of text—and the role that this plays in encouraging grime’s listeners to move. This thesis argues that grime flow exhibits a tendency towards rhythmic regularity, which differentiates it from flow styles that tend toward irregularity. Drawing from music cognition and music-theoretic work on the pleasures of repetition for listeners, particularly in electronic dance music, it asks what listeners find engaging about grime flow’s regularity. It argues, through an analysis of Skepta’s “That’s Not Me,” that grime flow encourages a participatory mode of listening from its audience, which in turn contributes to a broader orientation towards communality in the genre.

  • Lady Sovereign Public Warning Album Download Lady Sovereign Returns with New Album, Free Download
    lady sovereign public warning album download Lady Sovereign Returns With New Album, Free Download. Cheeky UK MC Lady Sovereign is gearing up to unload her sophomore effort next year and doing it on her brand new imprint, Midget Records. The follow-up to 2006's Public Warning is being titled Jigsaw and has the due date of April 7 on Sov's freshly launched label, which is an EMI affiliate. Alongside Lady Sovereign, the record features guest appearances by Spank Rock collaborator Benny Blanco, Medasyn and Dr. Luke, who produced the Public Warning single "Love Me or Hate Me." "The album is the next chapter. It's a massive leap forward for mankind," she says of record number two in a statement. And while an April release date may be a while off, Lady Sovereign is currently offering up "an early Christmas gift," the new album track "I Got You Dancing," on her MySpace page, which you can download here. There's no word of any tour dates just yet or a Jigsaw tracklisting but those are likely just around the corner. Public Warning! Roughly two-and-a-half-years after first making a big internet splash, the now Def Jam-signed, TRL-conquering Brit MC unleashes her debut album. Between the time fast-talking London MC Lady Sovereign first hit the blogosphere about two-and-a-half years ago and today, she's endured roughly 14 internet life cycles. How long has it really been? Let's put it this way: When Sov originally quoted J-Kwon's 2004 smash "Tipsy" on the opening line of her single "Random", lots of people knew exactly what J-Kwon looked like and thought he was going to be the next Nelly.
