Comparing The Slim Shady LP (1999) with his relatively unknown and commercially unsuccessful first album, Infinite (1996), reveals that instead of transcending racial boundaries as some critics have suggested, Eminem negotiated them in ways that made sense to his target audiences. In particular, Eminem’s influential single “My Name Is,” which helped launch his mainstream career, parodied various representations of whiteness to help counter charges that the white rapper lacked authenticity or was simply stealing black culture.

  • I'm Not a Rapper: Donald Glover Aka Childish Gambino's Search For
    I’m Not a Rapper: Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino’s search for authenticity in the hip-hop industry Natalie Robertson Virginia Tech I’m not a rapper: Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino’s search for authenticity in the hip-hop industry In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Polonius gives Laertes this advice: “This above all: to thine own self be true.” The notion of being real and not false has played a firm role in society since the early 1600s, and perhaps earlier. ‘Keeping it real’ transcends cultural boundaries that are normally predetermined and untouched, from English literature to hip-hop music. In the hip-hop industry, authenticating oneself reigns paramount among all feats. Whether it is the car you drive, the people you know or the music you produce, such factors aid hip-hop artists in their quest for authenticity. On the other hand, what factors hinder artists as they try to ‘keep it real’? Could one of those elements involve an artist’s acting career? In this paper, I will examine actor Donald Glover’s transition from acting to rapping under the stage name Childish Gambino. In addition, I will examine the cultural nuances associated with authenticity. Although Childish Gambino uses many authenticating strategies, he also asserts himself as an individual. My research will dive into if and how this can be attributed to his background in acting. Moreover, I will examine how the rapper persona is similar and/or different to the actor persona. Does he face struggles in authenticating himself because of his overlapping careers in television and film? Specifically, I will assess the ‘keeping it real’ category of authenticity, and how the combination of acting and rapping either hinders or helps Gambino as he tries to be ‘real.’ More generally, I will delve into the other categories of authenticity, including culture, location, sexuality and race.

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.
