    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

The powerful are inoculated from the consequences of their actions by lifetimes of privilege and cor- ruption.

We have just over ten years to avert an irreversible climate change catastrophe. Siberia is burning so hot you can see it from space. The zeitgeist is dam- aged.

After last month’s bumper issue, we thought this month would be a doddle, but what with assorted internet problems, cancelled gigs and a near miss with floodwater it’s a wonder it’s here at all. Suffice to say, the sooner humanity abandons modern technology and returns to potato printing and carrier pigeons the sooner we shall start feeling at home in the world. Preferably a world where it never rains and singers never lose their voices. Is that really too much to ask? Last month’s feature on the closure of regional venues has provoked quite a reaction and it’s good to hear from people who are making the effort to start promoting live music around the county. Hopefully music fans out there will support them as much as they can.

W. ROLLESTON MYTHS & LEGENDS OF THE CELTIC RACE CONSTABLE - LONDON [8] British edition published by Constable and Company Limited, London First published 1911 by George G. Harrap & Co., London [9] PREFACE The Past may be forgotten, but it never dies. The elements which in the most remote times have entered into a nation's composition endure through all its history, and help to mould that history, and to stamp the character and genius of the people. The examination, therefore, of these elements, and the recognition, as far as possible, of the part they have actually contributed to the warp and weft of a nation's life, must be a matter of no small interest and importance to those who realise that the present is the child of the past, and the future of the present; who will not regard themselves, their kinsfolk, and their fellow-citizens as mere transitory phantoms, hurrying from darkness into darkness, but who know that, in them, a vast historic stream of national life is passing from its distant and mysterious origin towards a future which is largely conditioned by all the past wanderings of that human stream, but which is also, in no small degree, what they, by their courage, their patriotism, their knowledge, and their understanding, choose to make it.

  • Elizabeth Campbell Johannah Fisher
    Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington High School February 2017 Edition By: Elizabeth Campbell What is love? As Valentine’s Day rolls around, I ask myself this question. To me, love is a feeling you get when you find someone you would do anything for. It’s when you would do anything to protect that per- son, and care for them no matter what obstacles you face. Love is unconditional and has no limits. Love never ends; it only grows stronger. I’ve been lucky enough to experience love, and it is the best feeling. Love is a feeling that is hard to come by, but once you find it, you are changed forever. I found love about one year and six months ago. My boyfriend’s name is Timothy, and he is my best friend. He has helped me understand what love truly is. We care about each other, and we put each other first. When you are in a relationship, you have to consider how your actions affect the other person. We enjoy our time together be- cause every minute is precious. Relationships aren’t perfect, but if it’s love, you work for it. Not everything is perfect though. Some- times there are arguments, but they never come to the point where we question our love for one another. Our love is unconditional. We don’t isolate ourselves from the world like some couples do. We enjoy our time with each other, but we make time for our friends as well. We have the best times together; we’re con- stantly laughing and joking around with each other.

  • Foals Släpper Dubbla Album Under 2019 – Första Singeln ”Exits” Ute Nu!
    Foals 2019-01-22 13:53 CET Foals släpper dubbla album under 2019 – Första singeln ”Exits” ute nu! Den 8 mars släpper brittiska Foals det första av två kommande album 2019; ”Everything not saved will be lost – Part 1”. Part 2 släpps senare under hösten 2019. Den första låten från det nya albumet; ”Exits” är redan släppt. “They’re two halves of the same locket,” säger frontmannen Yannis Philippakis. “They can be listened to and appreciated individually, but fundamentally, they are companion pieces.” Foals har sedan 2015 streamats över en halv miljard gånger på Spotify. Bandet har gått från stökiga hemmafester till headline-bokningar på några av världens största festivaler. Foals har också nominerats i bland annat BRIT Awards, Mercury Prize och Novello samt vunnit priser i NME och Q-Awards. Efter drygt tio år sen starten har medlemmarna Yannis Philippakis (frontman), JimmySmith (gitarr), JackBevan (trummor), EdwinCongreave (keyboard) och WalterGervers (bassist) skapat två fullängdsalbum under 2019 ”Everything not saved will be lost – Part 1” och “Everything not saved will be lost – Part 2”. Den första singeln från albumet ”Exits” förkroppsligar temat för de två kommande albumen, i fokus står en desorienterad värld som ackompanjeras av melodiösa textrader. “There's a definite idea about the world being no longer habitable in the way that it was,” fortsätter Yannis. “A kind of perilousness lack of predictability and a feeling of being overwhelmed by the magnitudes of the problems we face. What's the response? And what’s the purpose of any response that one individual can have?” “Lyrically, there are resonances with what's going on in the world at the moment,” sammanfattar Yannis.
