(Music Review) Scene 0005.TUNERMUSAK 8/3/01 10:43 AM Page 90 SPUR OF THE MOMENT MUSIK {Spontaneous} Good Vibe Music/Atomic Pop : JOEL MARASIGAN mr Spontaneous comes at you manipulating a universal hip-hop sound the entire hip-hop community will feed 90 off of. Spontaneous, with assistance from some GoodVibe labelmates who also frontline as some of hip hop’s finest (Xzibit, Saukrates & DJ Drez, Rock From Heltah Skelter, Asthete, Roman Numeral & Xtrakdt of Dislexik, Bahamadia), puts down an album that will no doubt be a soon-to-be classic. Spontaneous sometimes seems to direct a cipher that crosses the rapstyles of the Pharcyde and Tash, (of the Alkaholiks) yet on cuts like “Reprezen’N (Featuring Xzibit, Saukrates & DJ Drez),” and “Transmit” (Featuring Roman Numeral & Xtrakdt of Dislexik) he changes up his delivery to prove he’s got the styles he claims. Additionally, cuts like “SRV1 (featuring Tash From Tha Alkaholiks & DJ Revolution),” “Rock to the Rhythm,” and especially “Krush Groove 2000” (featuring Kurtis Blow & DJ Phyz Ed) will inspire born again b-boys, and perhaps hip hop heads in general, to keep up rocking through 2000. FACE THE MUSIC {Isosceles} Thick N Thin Records The likeness of Joseph Simmons (Run of RUN DMC) to his brother Russell (of Def Jam) was as close to twins as you could get in the rap scene until Canada’s recently recognized Shrmpy and DJ Sasafras of Isosceles. These brothers along with third angle Boya D use a raw sound that incorporates long, jazzy xylo- phone, violin, cello and trumpet samples with world-class scratching which complements their dark style of verbal attack. Check songs like “Clean Slate,” “Dream Big,” “Open Wounds,” and “The Telepathic Triplet.” > SERVING MORE SUCKERS THAN DUM-DUMS The familiarity of their music is explained by the similarities to the production quality early hip-hop records bore—a refreshing, rough sound that keeps the b-boy roots alive. Isosceles is one group in a long list of Canadian rappers that forego all the commercialization to give the underground something to rap about. LANDMARKED {Various Artists} Lifted Research Group What is the Lifted Research Group? Is it a crew of underground MCs—maybe a fresh team of DJs? Possibly a new record company? Nope. LRG makes dope clothes. Seems lots of companies are getting in on this scene. The companies at the February ASR in Long Beach have shown that they want to be noticed in this (music review) scene. LRG stands out by producing an album that blends the parts of hip-hop that focus on the soul of funk and jazz. DJ Pash’s jazz-snippet scratching shows that his techniques are down-pat, but has a distinguish- able style that not many DJs strive to acquire. Primarily along the lines of turntable music, LRG chooses to accent the CD with only a couple of cuts with lyrics. Since, after all, LRG is a clothing company, it seems fit- ting (pun!) that track one, “First of All,” is about their clothing line—rappers find direction for their lyrics in most anything. If LRG is attempting to someway give their clothing a similar aura of the soul and funk depict- ed on its CD (or vice versa) it seems that they’ve done so, leaving most other clothing companies hangin’. DMT: C4 {Dj Cue} Stray records The Bay Area’s DJ Cue, famous for co-creating the DJ battle break record “Hamster Breaks Volume 1”, comes with his 13th project “DMT: C4” (DMT = Drum Machine Technician). DMT is a series of five CDs that alter- nates the music of DMTs DJ Cue and Eddie Def. Cue’s C4 is the second album in their series. In case you doubt the value of C4, I offer up Cue’s resume: Member of the Bullet Proof Scratch Hamsters, Member of the Space Travelers, owner of Cue’s records. C4 is a genre that cusps between rave scene and hip-hop break beat music. Branded a “Drum Machine” project, Cue’s subtle overlays, turntable style, and and beat-juggling and looping techniques shine as well as the mixing. Cue says, “DMT is not something you listen to. It is some- thing you take”. Cue’s C4 truly provides the explosion to burst into a different realm of musical psychosis— all without the use of any mind altering drugs. C4 will be the most economical natural-high you’ll ever get. INFINITE POSSIBILITIES {Amel Larrieux} 550 Music/Epic Records The voice of Groove Theory is back with her self-titled debut album. Infinite Possibilities is aimed in a slightly different direction than the 1995, Bryce Wilson (formerly of Mantronix) produced Groove Theory album. Amel steps away from the hip-hop tracks, seemingly drawing her eclectic style rhythmically from jazz, R&B and African influences; vocally from the likes of Erykah Badu, and Janet Jackson. Don’t get it twisted—Amel’s style is all her own. The transition from the up-tempo, jazz-club styled “Down” with its 90 IMPORT TUNER MAY 2000 0005.TUNERMUSAK 8/3/01 10:43 AM Page 92 double-time snare and high-hat, strumming bass, and banging piano com- first release “Do you want my love” with its funk guitar licks has a styled plements to the gentle and soulful yet jazzy, “Infinite Possibilities” R&B dance flavor that shows her Carey influence.

  • The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap
    Open Cultural Studies 2018; 2: 122–135 Research Article Adam de Paor-Evans* The Futurism of Hip Hop: Space, Electro and Science Fiction in Rap https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2018-0012 Received January 27, 2018; accepted June 2, 2018 Abstract: In the early 1980s, an important facet of hip hop culture developed a style of music known as electro-rap, much of which carries narratives linked to science fiction, fantasy and references to arcade games and comic books. The aim of this article is to build a critical inquiry into the cultural and socio- political presence of these ideas as drivers for the productions of electro-rap, and subsequently through artists from Newcleus to Strange U seeks to interrogate the value of science fiction from the 1980s to the 2000s, evaluating the validity of science fiction’s place in the future of hip hop. Theoretically underpinned by the emerging theories associated with Afrofuturism and Paul Virilio’s dromosphere and picnolepsy concepts, the article reconsiders time and spatial context as a palimpsest whereby the saturation of digitalisation becomes both accelerator and obstacle and proposes a thirdspace-dromology. In conclusion, the article repositions contemporary hip hop and unearths the realities of science fiction and closes by offering specific directions for both the future within and the future of hip hop culture and its potential impact on future society. Keywords: dromosphere, dromology, Afrofuturism, electro-rap, thirdspace, fantasy, Newcleus, Strange U Introduction During the mid-1970s, the language of New York City’s pioneering hip hop practitioners brought them fame amongst their peers, yet the methods of its musical production brought heavy criticism from established musicians.

  • Check out 8 Songs Musical Artists Have
    Search TRAILBLAZERS IN MUSIC: CHECK OUT SONGS MUSICAL ARTISTS HAVE SAMPLED FROM WOMEN OF MOTOWN By Brianna Rhodes Photo: Classic Motown - Advertisement - The Sound Of Young America wouldn’t be known for what it is today without the trailblazing Women of Motown. Throughout its 60-year existence, Motown Records made an impact on the world thanks to music genius and founder, Berry Gordy. It's important to note though, that the African- American owned label wouldn’t have reached so many monumental milestones without The Supremes, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, Mary Wells, The Marvelettes, Tammi Terrell and Gladys Knight. The success of these talented women proved that women voices needed to be heard through radio airwaves everywhere. As a kid, you were probably singing melodies created by these women around the house with family members or even performing the songs in your school’s talent show, not even realizing how much of an impact these women made on Black culture and Black music. This is why it’s important to acknowledge these women during the celebration of the label’s 60th anniversary. The legendary reign of the Women of Motown began back in 1960, with then 17-year-old musical artist Mary Wells with her debut single, “Bye Bye Baby.” Wells, who wrote the song herself, helped Motown attain its first Top 10 R&B hit ever. Wells continued to make history with her chart-topping single, “My Guy” becoming Motown’s fourth No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and the company’s first major U.K. single.

  • 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-Hop
    MUSICAL BORROWING IN HIP-HOP MUSIC: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS AND CASE STUDIES Justin A. Williams, BA, MMus Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2009 0 Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop Music: Theoretical Frameworks and Case Studies Justin A. Williams ABSTRACT ‗Musical Borrowing in Hip-hop‘ begins with a crucial premise: the hip-hop world, as an imagined community, regards unconcealed intertextuality as integral to the production and reception of its artistic culture. In other words, borrowing, in its multidimensional forms and manifestations, is central to the aesthetics of hip-hop. This study of borrowing in hip-hop music, which transcends narrow discourses on ‗sampling‘ (digital sampling), illustrates the variety of ways that one can borrow from a source text or trope, and ways that audiences identify and respond to these practices. Another function of this thesis is to initiate a more nuanced discourse in hip-hop studies, to allow for the number of intertextual avenues travelled within hip-hop recordings, and to present academic frameworks with which to study them. The following five chapters provide case studies that prove that musical borrowing, part and parcel of hip-hop aesthetics, occurs on multiple planes and within myriad dimensions. These case studies include borrowing from the internal past of the genre (Ch. 1), the use of jazz and its reception as an ‗art music‘ within hip-hop (Ch. 2), borrowing and mixing intended for listening spaces such as the automobile (Ch. 3), sampling the voice of rap artists posthumously (Ch. 4), and sampling and borrowing as lineage within the gangsta rap subgenre (Ch.
