  • Go-Go Forever
    mtv news FEATURE GO-GO FOREVER THE RISE, FALL, AND AFTERLIFE OF WASHINGTON, D.C.’S ULTIMATE RHYTHM 06/14/2017 MTV ERICKA BLOUNT DANOIS Ericka Blount Danois is based in Baltimore and writes about music and culture. Her first book, 'Love, Peace and Soul,' about the show 'Soul Train,' was published in 2013. We had made plans to walk the more than 10 treacherous blocks to the show that Saturday autumn night in the Chocolate City. So we walked from my friend Cheryl's building on 14th and Fairmont Streets all the way to The Black Hole, one of the most popular go-go spots in town, strolling past hustlers and the infamous Clifton Terrace projects as we went. We weren't in heels, like most girls going to nightclubs. We wore New Balance tennis shoes with our Guess jeans. At The Black Hole, you had to be prepared to run at any moment. In Washington, D.C.'s 1980s go-go scene, The Black Hole was what CBGB was to punk rock, what The Paradise Garage was to dance music. You couldn't call yourself a true go-go head if you'd never stepped past its hefty bodyguards after wading through the mass of bodies stretching down Georgia Avenue whenever a show was happening. It was a hole in the wall, really — a former car garage that regularly packed in excess of 400 sweaty teenagers. And it was our spot to hear uncut go-go, dance all night, and be seen. Dancing there was the closest thing that a non- churchgoer could find to catching the spirit at a Pentecostal church, and as close to a juke joint as a saved soul could experience.

    ­Biddy My name is Biddy. Some call me other names. Granny call me Retard. Quincy call me White Trash sometimes and Fool most of the time. Most kids call me Speddie. That’s short for Special Education. I can’t write or read. A little bit, but not good enough to matter. There’s a lots of stuff I don’t know. If I could write, I could make a long list. List might reach all the way through Texas to someplace like Chicago. I don’t know where Chicago is. That’s another thing for the list. But there’s some things I do know. And once I know a thing, I hold it tight and don’t let it stray off. Granny shouldn’t call me Retard. I know that. It ain’t nice. It hurts my feelings. I know it’s a wrong thing to hurt somebody’s feelings. I know that I ain’t White Trash. Trash is some- thing you throw away. You don’t throw nobody away. That’s wrong. Even if my mama done it to me.

  • “Don't Believe the Hype”: the Polemics of Hip Hop and The
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: “DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE”: THE POLEMICS OF HIP HOP AND THE POETICS OF RESISTANCE AND RESILIENCE IN BLACK GIRLHOOD. Chyann L. Oliver, PhD, 2009 Directed By: Associate Professor, Sheri L. Parks, Department of American Studies At a time when Hip Hop is mired in masculinity, and scholars are “struggling for the soul of this movement” through excavating legacies in a black nationalist past, black girls and women continue to be bombarded with incessant, one-dimensional, images of black women who are reduced solely to sum of their sexual parts. Without the presence of a counter narrative on black womanhood and femininity in Hip Hop, black girls who are growing up encountering Hip Hop are left to define and negotiate their identities as emerging black women within a sexualized context. This dissertation asks: how can black girls, and more specifically, working class black girls, who are faced with inequities because of their race, class, and gender find new ways to define themselves, and name their experiences, in their own words and on their own terms? How can black girls develop ways of being resistant and resilient in the face of adversity, and in the midst of this Hip Hop “attack on black womanhood?” Using myriad forms of writing and fusing genres of critical essay, poetry, prose, ethnography, and life history, this dissertation, as a feminist, artistic, cultural, and political Hip Hop intervention, seeks to address the aforementioned issues by demonstrating the importance of black women’s vocality in Hip Hop. It examines how black women in Hip Hop have negotiated race, class, gender, and sexuality from 1979 to the present.
