  • Williams, Hipness, Hybridity, and Neo-Bohemian Hip-Hop
    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.

Dr. Kelton Edmonds was my advisor for this project and I appreciate him helping me to study hip- hop. Dr. Susan Jasko was my advisor at California University of Pennsylvania since 2005 and encouraged me to stay in the Honors Program. Dr. Drew McGukin had the initiative to bring me to the Honors Program in the first place. I wanted to acknowledge everybody in the Honors Department (Dr. Ed Chute, Dr. Erin Mountz, Mrs. Kim Orslene, and Dr. Don Lawson). Doing a Red Hot Chili Peppers project in 2008 for Mr. Max Gonano was also very important.

In celebration of Midnight Marauders’ and YBCA’s twenty-fifth anniversaries, ​ ​ ​ UnderCover has invited local acts to re-interpret the classic album that bridged the gap between hip-hop and jazz. A Tribute to A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders takes place May ​ ​ ​ 16–18, 2019, at the YBCA Forum. ​ YBCA and UnderCover aim to reflect the spirit of Midnight Marauders by collaborating with ​ ​ GRAMMY-nominated music producer Starita, who has worked with Phife Dawg and A Tribe ​ ​ Called Quest in the past. The show incorporates elements from all four pillars of hip-hop: DJing, MCing, writing (graffiti), and B-Boying (breakdancing), along with the minimalism and free-form nature of jazz instrumentation. Through this tribute, YBCA and UnderCover invite the audience ​ ​ to think about how hip-hop can break down barriers to foster equality and unity. The concept is simple, one distinctive band per song reinterpreting an entire classic album from start to finish.

Years later, despite a signed peace agreement, the war continues in the minds of survivors: the Srebrenica women who remain mourn more than the dead, as their connections to the wider world and their own communities have been severed. 1 Join us for this upcoming event: Join us as Selma Leydesdorff, professor of oral history and culture at the University of Amsterdam, gives voice to the women of Srebrenica, discussing why their stories need to be told, and how such stories can help us reflect on the need for peace as a lived reality.

    00:00:00 Music Transition “Crown Ones” off the album Stepfather by People Under The Stairs. Chill, grooving instrumentals. 00:00:05 Oliver Host Hello, I’m Oliver Wang. 00:00:07 Morgan Host And I’m Morgan Rhodes. You’re listening to Heat Rocks. Like the rest of you, we are all in our social distancing mode, and this of course is an unprecedented time of isolation and anxiety. And I know many of us, myself included, are turning to art and culture as a way to stay sane and connected and inspired. As such, we wanted to create a few episodes around the idea of comfort music, and we’ve already been engaging with all of you in our audience about it. 00:00:31 Oliver Host To tackle this, we will be using a format that Morgan helped to inspire, the Starting Five, which is both a reference to basketball as well as a nod to those five-CD changers that used to be all the range back in the 1990s. And so both Morgan and I chose five albums, and the last episode you heard her starting five. And today, it’s gonna be my five in terms fo what constitutes my idea of comfort music. 00:00:56 Morgan Host In the third installment, that airs next week, we’ll be choosing a starting five from suggestions that you, our audience, has made via our various social media accounts. So, you asked me and now I’m asking you, what is your definition of comfort music, or what does comfort music really mean to you, especially now? 00:01:15 Oliver Host I really enjoyed hearing what you had to say last week in terms of the albums or the music that reminded you of falling in love wit music, or just falling in love in general.
