  • Aesthetic Play and Bad Intent
    Article Aesthetic Play and Bad Intent Andrew J. Kerr† Threatening words or images are assumed by American courts to be non-art. But this threshold question of art status is complicated by the evolution of rap and performance art. There is no articulable way to discern art from non-art for these non- textual media, a problem compounded in the unique context of the Internet. In civil litigation we can resort to institutionalist tests like audience reception. But mens rea matters in criminal prosecution. I favor judicial pragmatism in what I argue here is a very non-legal area of law. I. INTRODUCTION In March 2016, Compton rapper YG released the single, “FDT”, shorthand for “fuck Donald Trump,” as a critical response to the then Republican primary challenger. The track was rec- orded in about an hour,1 and eventually became a summer an- them because of its political appeal.2 VICE Media’s Noisey pub- lication celebrated it as the best track of 2016.

  • A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West's Twitter Practice
    The Life Of Kanye A Qualitative Content Analysis of Kanye West’s Twitter Practice. 15.08.2016 Lund University M.Sc. in Media and Communications Studies Gloe Lucas 920721-T197 !1 ABSTRACT Celebrity Twitter use has recently been the subject of celebrity studies. Performing authenticity and intimacy as well as engaging interactively with followers are considered central characteristics of ‘micro-celebrity’ practice, which is widely considered to be extensively utilized by celebrities in their use of Twitter. Taking this framework suggested by celebrity studies as a point of departure, this thesis focuses on the case study of Kanye West, whose recent use of Twitter has been given much attention by celebrity news media due to his controversial tweets. In carrying out a content analysis of this case study’s tweets, this thesis aims to understand the way Kanye West is using Twitter, what strategies he is employing and how this links to the structural implications of celebrity. As the findings suggest, Kanye West employs two main strategies in his usage of Twitter: In his first strategy he uses Twitter as a tool to promote his celebrity commodity, increase his celebrity capital and create an elite network of fellow celebrities. The second strategy aims at creating an authentic and personal narrative that redefines and extends Kanye West’s celebrity persona. Within this second strategy, “stream-of-consciousness” writing was identified as a unique strategy employed by Kanye West in his Twitter practice. Keywords: Celebrity, Twitter, Micro-Celebrity, Authenticity, Intimacy, Performance. Number of words: 20.650 !2 Acknowledgements I hereby want to thank those that enabled and helped to create this paper.

  • Kanye West and Male Emotionality 1 the Department of Communication
    Kanye West and Male Emotionality 1 The Department of Communication Arts and Sciences Kanye West, Emotionality, & Individualism – Pioneering a Paradigm Shift Amongst Rap’s Elite Cory Steinle The Pennsylvania State University Kanye West and Male Emotionality 2 Abstract By analyzing countless song lyrics, criminal data, and investigate interviews from popular rappers, I was able to draw the conclusion that Kanye West had a significant and quantifiable impact on the frequency of emotionality & individualism within popular rap music. His status as a celebrity allowed for the cathartic release of emotions throughout his music career to be labeled as “revolutionary.”. At the time he released his freshman album, The College Dropout (2004), violence and hate were two emotions largely represented in the popular rap sphere. This was the aftermath of a previous decade of rap music besieged by violent, criminalistics themes inspired by rap’s very best – Biggie, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, and N.W.A. However, with Kanye’s new “pink polo” Chicago style, he was successfully able to enter the marketplace with a unique, individualistic style and sound. Themes of individualism and healthy emotionality can be found throughout his career, from his 2002 single “Through the Wire” through his seventh solo studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016). He stayed true to these themes throughout his first three studio albums, but it was his fourth album, 808’s & Heartbreak, that truly shifted the paradigm of rap music. This album cemented West’s place in history as one of the most influential artists of his time, inspiring many of his peers to adopt similar styles and motives as his own.

Wright “I miss the old Kanye, straight from the 'Go Kanye. Chop up the soul Kanye, set on his goals Kanye. I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye. The always rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye.” Kanye West, “I Love Kanye” (2016) When Kanye West debuted his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo on Saturday Night Live (February 14, 2016) few people were expecting to witness a passing of the torch. Halfway through Kanye’s performance of “Ultralight Beam” Chance The Rapper, stepped on stage with a mic in hand and not so quietly announced to the world that a new king was here to watch the throne. Fans who have been alienated by the recent profane direction in Kanye’s music, his erratic behavior during concerts, his confounding pro-Donald Trump tweets, and ignorance about American slavery and institutional racism, no longer have to recite the lyrics “I miss the old Kanye.” Chance The Rapper, affectionately known as Kanye’s best prodigy, is the embodiment of Kanye’s best musical qualities and the promise that he once gave Hip Hop enthusiasts to shift paradigms on Christian masculinity, faith, and spirituality with the release of his debut album, The College Dropout (2004).
