NOTES FOIA’S GOT 99 PROBLEMS, AND CIRCUIT COURT DISAGREEMENT ABOUT AUTHORITY TO COMPEL AFFIRMATIVE DISCLOSURES IS DEFINITELY ONE Emily Costantinou* INTRODUCTION Imagine that you work for a nonprofit organization, and your job routinely requires you to review records from a federal government agency. You discover that the information you need falls under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which requires federal agencies to make such information freely available to the public for inspection.1 Fortunately, a searchable online collection of records exists that allows you to find all the information you need in one place—without having to make repeated requests to the government for each document.2 However, there’s a catch: this collection is behind a paywall.3 * Candidate for J.D., 2021, University of Pittsburgh School of Law; B.A. English Literature, 2013, summa cum laude, University of Pittsburgh. 1 Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552 (2018). 2 See generally Margaret B.

As hip-hop continues to become commercially viable, performances of Black masculinities can be easily found on magazine covers, television shows, and popular websites. How do these representations affect the collective consciousness of Black men, while helping to construct a particular brand of masculinity that plays into the White imagination? This theoretical article explores how representations of Black masculinity vary in underground versus mainstream hip-hop, stemming directly from White patriarchal ideals of manhood. Conceptual and theoretical analyses of songs from the likes of Jay-Z and Dead Prez and Imani Perry’s Prophets of the Hood help provide an understanding of the parallels between hip-hop performances/identities and Black masculinities. Keywords Black masculinity, hip-hop, patriarchy, manhood 1Columbia University, New York, NY, USA Corresponding Author: Crystal Belle, PhD Candidate, English Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, 525 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027, USA.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2013 Remarks at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner April 27, 2013 White House Correspondents' Association President Ed Henry. And without further ado, I'd like to introduce the President of the United States. [At this point "Hail to the Chief" began to play. The music then changed to "All I Do Is Win" by rap artist DJ Khaled.] The President. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. [Laughter] How do you like my new entrance music? Rush Limbaugh warned you about this. Second term, baby. [Laughter] We're changing things around here a little bit. [Laughter] Actually, my advisers were a little worried about the new rap entrance music. [Laughter] They are a little more traditional. They suggested that I should start with some jokes at my own expense, just take myself down a peg. I was like, guys, after 4½ years, how many pegs are there left? [Laughter] I want to thank the White House correspondents. Ed, you're doing an outstanding job. We are grateful for—the great work you've done. To all the dignitaries who are here, everybody on the dais—I especially want to say thank you to Ray Odierno, who does outstanding service on behalf of our country, and all our men and women in uniform every single day. And of course, our extraordinary First Lady, Michelle Obama. Everybody loves Michelle. [Laughter] She's on the cover of Vogue, high poll numbers. But don't worry, I recently got my own magazine cover. [Laughter] [An image of a magazine titled "Senior Leisure" with a photo of the President and Vice President Biden playing golf was shown.] Now, look, I get it.

  • 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.

  • Abstract Humanities Jordan Iii, Augustus W. B.S. Florida
    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JORDAN III, AUGUSTUS W. B.S. FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY, 1994 M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1998 THE IDEOLOGICAL AND NARRATIVE STRUCTURES OF HIP-HOP MUSIC: A STUDY OF SELECTED HIP-HOP ARTISTS Advisor: Dr. Viktor Osinubi Dissertation Dated May 2009 This study examined the discourse of selected Hip-Hop artists and the biographical aspects of the works. The study was based on the structuralist theory of Roland Barthes which claims that many times a performer’s life experiences with class struggle are directly reflected in his artistic works. Since rap music is a counter-culture invention which was started by minorities in the South Bronx borough ofNew York over dissatisfaction with their community, it is a cultural phenomenon that fits into the category of economic and political class struggle. The study recorded and interpreted the lyrics of New York artists Shawn Carter (Jay Z), Nasir Jones (Nas), and southern artists Clifford Harris II (T.I.) and Wesley Weston (Lii’ Flip). The artists were selected on the basis of geographical spread and diversity. Although Hip-Hop was again founded in New York City, it has now spread to other parts of the United States and worldwide. The study investigated the biography of the artists to illuminate their struggles with poverty, family dysfunction, aggression, and intimidation. 1 The artists were found to engage in lyrical battles; therefore, their competitive discourses were analyzed in specific Hip-Hop selections to investigate their claims of authorship, imitation, and authenticity, including their use of sexual discourse and artistic rivalry, to gain competitive advantage.
