  • Troubled Ethnicities in American Popular Music from Elvis Presley to Eminem
    TROUBLED ETHNICITIES IN AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC FROM ELVIS PRESLEY TO EMINEM Stefan L. Brandt (University of Siegen, Germany / Harvard University) With the commodification of African American culture, Blackness has become an accessory that can be put on like burnt cork and hog fat: baggy pants, overpriced athletic shoes, corn rows or dread locks, gaudy jewelry, swiveling necks, snapping fingers, absent consonants.1 Introduction: Blackface, White Negritude, and Ethnic Identity On July 18, 1953, an 18-year old trucker named Elvis Presley decided to go to the Sun Record Company in Memphis and paid $3.98 to record a demo – a procedure that he repeated in January of 1954. It took another four months until Sun Records founder Sam Phillips, eager to capitalize upon the popularity of African American songs, accidentally discovered one of the tapes and took Presley under contract. Presley’s music, a combination of Rhythm & Blues, hillbilly, gospel, and boogie-woogie, dominated by an uptempo, backbeat-driven rhythm, was an instant success. Some forty years later, American popular music saw another successful ‘hybrid’ artist in the shape of Missouri-born white rapper Marshall Bruce Mathers III, better known as “Eminem” or “Slim Shady.” Like Elvis before him, Eminem cleverly took advantage of the appeal of a ‘black’ music style, in his case HipHop, integrating it into a mass-compatible crossover product. Eminem’s video clips are masterstrokes of ethnic marketing, deploying elements of ‘white trash’ imagery as well as of ‘black’ language and art. My essay is interested in those strategies of representation within American popular music that are designed to market what Harry J.

  • Never Change 2.1
    Never Change 2.1: A Look at Jay-Z’s Lyrical Evolution kashema h. www.kashema.com Never Change 2.1: A look Jay-Z’s Lyrical Evolution By kashema h. “Intro” Jay-Z’s classic album Reasonable Doubt (1996) turned 20 years old this summer but it has been two years since he has released another album. He released “Spiritual” after the extrajudicial killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Jay is featured on the remix of “All the Way Up” and teamed up with DJ Khaled and Future to create “I Got the Keys.” Back in April, Mr. Carter made a cameo on his wife’s Beyoncé’s visual album, Lemonade as a family man. The last time we saw the lyricist in full rap mode (e.g. album, singles and tour) was for Magna Carta Holy Grail in 2013. The promotional On The Run trailer for the married couple’s tour stars Jay-Z and Beyoncé as bank robbers à la Bonnie and Clyde, and features all kinds of guns, ski masks, shady figures, cop chases and a line-up. In 2014, I started to think about Jay’s past criminal life as a drug dealer, and his references to it on his records. I let the thing between my eyes analyze Jay’s skills, then put it down—type Braille...you feel me? Last month, the rapper narrated the New York Times Op-Ed: “The War on Drugs Is an Epic Fail.” I went back to my study of Jay-Z and his lyrics with a more critical eye.
