The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond.

PROLOGUE Sidelines of chairs neatly divide the center field and a large stage stands erect. At its center, there is a stately podium flanked by disciplined men wearing the militaristic suits of the Fruit of Islam, a visible security squad. This is Ford Field, usually known for housing the Detroit Lions football team, but on this occasion it plays host to a different gathering and sentiment. The seats are mostly full, both on the floor and in the stands, but if you look closely, you’ll find that this audience isn’t the standard sporting fare: the men are in smart suits, the women dress equally so, in long white dresses, gloves, and headscarves.

Genre as Bait: Using Pop Soundtrack as Narrative Counterpoint or Complement By: Margaret Dudasik May 15, 2013 BA Film & Screen Studies/ BFA Musical Theatre Dr. Ruth Johnston Film & Screen Studies, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences 1 Abstract There is much argument against using pre-existing music in film, Ian Garwood noting three potential problems with the pop song: obtrusiveness, cultural relevance, and distance from the narrative (103-106). It is believed that lyrics and cultural connotations can distract from the action, but it is my belief that these elements only aid narrative. By examining the cinematic functions of the soundtracks of O Brother Where Are Thou? (2000) and Marie Antoinette (2006), I will argue that using pre-existing music in film is actually more effective than a score composed specifically for a film. Film theorist Claudia Gorbman notes that film scores have “temporal, spatial, dramatic, structural, denotative, [and] connotative” abilities” (22), and it is my belief that pop music is just as economical in forming character, conveying setting, and furthering plot.

INFLO-Mation: a Model for Exploring Information Behavior Through Hip Hop
The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults Volume 9 No.1: July 2018 www.yalsa.ala.org/jrlya INFLO-mation: A Model for Exploring Information Behavior through Hip Hop Kafi D. Kumasi, PhD, Wayne State University Abstract This paper explores the insights that hip hop might afford young adult library researchers who study information behavior, particularly in online environments. A Critical Race Theory (CRT) approach was used to explain how existing information behavior models describe youth experiences in ways that mask their unique racialized experiences and culturally specific information-creating behaviors. Using CRT’s counter-storytelling method, a new model called INFLO-mation is introduced, featuring a continuum of information behaviors captured within three descriptive categories of creativity: Rhythm, Rhyme, and Remix (R3). Findings include a discussion the INFLO model, its classification scheme, and illustrative examples from contemporary teens’ digital media practices rooted in hip hop culture. Introduction “Okay, Ladies, now let’s get in formation.” —Beyoncé, “Formation,” Lemonade (2016) In this paper, I introduce a model for exploring information behavior (IB) called INFLO-mation (INFLO). This model also serves as a call to action for library and information science (LIS) professionals to “Get INFLO-mation,” or to leverage hip hop culture as a way to expand how they view, study, and support the everyday IB of teens. This call to action is reminiscent of a popular song by singer Beyoncé, who commands listeners to “get in formation,” or to get in one accord with a radical aura of Black positivity. JRLYA: Volume 9 No.1: July 2018 1 This INFLO model is grounded in over fifteen years of my thinking and writing about the intersections of adolescent literacy, school librarianship, and issues of equity in education.i It also reflects my lived experiences as a Black female scholar who came of age in the 1990s during the golden era of hip hop, which was the proverbial soundtrack of my youth.
