This we consider self-evident. Yet in discussing art of subjugated cultures, specifically African American music, these two spheres are often wrongly separated. This has cultivated a divide in which personal exploration through music has been decoupled from the artist’s greater comments on their cultural struggle. These works are necessarily grounded in the context to which they speak, however this greater context must acknowledge the experience of the individual. This essay aims to pursue a methodology centred on the relationship between the personal and the cultural, with a case study of Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly.2 Lamar straddles this divide. His personal difficulty with removal from the Compton community is inextricably linked with the struggle of African Americans in the wake of the Ferguson unrest. Lamar is in the optimal position to comment on this cultural struggle, however his fame and celebrity has partially removed him from the issues he attempts to articulate. As Lamar examines the relationship between himself and his community and context throughout To Pimp a Butterfly, he gives authenticity to his voice despite its fallibility.

Love1 Abstract The author draws from the works of Kevin Quashie and Kendrick Lamar to analyze the ways in which Black bodies in Hip Hop culture can represent resistance while being quiet, still, or building on existential consciousness from their interior. As many youth of color are good kids in mad cities, the article focuses on the question, “What does it mean for a generation of youth who are coming of age under the loud publicness of Hip Hop, racism, state violence, and domestic terrorism to know that resistance also can be found in the act of stillness?” Keywords hip hop, Kendrick Lamar, resistance, stillness, youth of color, racism, state violence In the fall of 2012, a month after Jordan Davis was mur- matter how good he is, the system is not set up for him to sur- dered, a month before Trayvon Martin was killed, and 2 vive.

  • Billboard Change Agents: Leaders Stepping up in a Year of Turmoil
    Billboard Change Agents: Leaders Stepping Up In A Year of Turmoil billboard.com/articles/business/9517071/billboard-change-agents-list-2021 By Billboard Staff 1/28/2021 © 2021 Billboard Media, LLC. All rights reserved. BILLBOARD is a registered trademark of Billboard IP Holdings, LLC Over the past year, the music industry began an extraordinary transformation. Heavy-hitting task forces were assembled to tackle racial inequality amid a wave of national protests against police brutality, while music’s biggest companies committed hundreds of millions of dollars to the cause. Artists and their managers, agents and promoters — many of whom saw their income plummet in the pandemic — were forced to reinvent their businesses as they sought relief from organizations fighting to help the live industry survive. Through it all, music professionals marched in the streets, encouraged people to vote in a historic election, brainstormed solutions on virtual panels and mourned the loss of family, friends and music legends to COVID-19. In other words, it didn’t feel much like a year for congratulating music’s most powerful people on how powerful they still are. So instead of compiling the Power List that Billboard has published annually since 2012, we decided instead to honor some of the individuals changing the business — both by advocacy and by example — in our first Change Agents issue. 1/39 This is by no means meant to be a comprehensive list of music executives fighting for justice or changing the game. It does not, for example, include the heads of the major music groups, even though Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge announced an initial $25 million “Change Fund,” convened a social justice task force and promised more action to follow, while Sony Music Group chairman Rob Stringer drove the creation of a $100 million Sony fund to fight racism around the world and Warner Music Group CEO Steve Cooper pledged to steer a $100 million donation from owner Len Blavatnik to music industry charities and social justice as well.

  • Kendrick Lamar's Criticism of Racism and The
    ‘We Gon’ Be Alright’: Kendrick Lamar’s Criticism of Racism and the Potential for Social Change Through Love by Courtney Julia Heffernan B.A. Hons., University of Western Ontario, 2014 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2016 © Courtney Julia Heffernan, 2016 Abstract This thesis explores Kendrick Lamar’s criticism of institutionalized racism in America and its damaging effects on African-American subjectivity on his albums Section.80, Good Kid M.A.A.D City and To Pimp a Butterfly. The albums address the social implications of racism in the present day, throughout Lamar’s life and throughout the lives of his ancestors. In my analysis of Lamar’s albums, I address the history of American chattel slavery and its aftermath as a social system that privileges white over black. On the basis of my interpretation of the penultimate track on To Pimp a Butterfly, “i,” I propose a love ethic as a means through which the American social order can be changed. I take the term love ethic from Cornel West and bell hooks. A love ethic is a means through which individual bodies hurt by racism can be recognized and revalorized. Through the course of his three studio albums Lamar offers a narrative remediation of America’s discriminatory social order. In so doing, Lamar enacts the social change he wishes to see in America. ii Preface This thesis is original, unpublished, independent work by the author, Courtney Heffernan.
