    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.

"Never let me down" is influenced by the near-death car crash occurring in West. The song features Jay-Z, who, despite his chart success, is rhyming about retaining wealth and influence while Western focuses on racism and deprivation. The album features lyrics from spoken word actor J. Ivy who gives uplifting words. "Nobody Let Me Down" reuses a verse from Jay-Z first heard in his song "Hovi Boy" remix. "Through the Wire" features Chaka Khan's high-pitched vocal sample and describes West's real life experience of being in a car accident.[11] The song offers a largely comic account of his complicated recovery, and features West rapping of his jaw still wired from the crash.

  • Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, Its People
    It’s Not Me, It’s You: Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, its People by Sharieka Shontae Botex April, 2019 Director of Thesis: Dr. Wendy Sharer Major Department: English The origins of Hip Hop evidence that the art form was intended to provide more than music to listen to, but instead offer art that delivers messages on behalf of people who were not always listened to. My thesis offers an analysis of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content and adds to an ongoing discussion of the potential Hip Hop artists have to be effective leaders for the Black community, whose lyrical content can be used to make positive change in society, and how this ability at times can be compromised by creating content that doesn’t evidence this potential or undermines it. Along with this, my work highlights how some of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content exhibits their use of some rhetorical strategies and techniques used in social movements and their use of some African American rhetorical practices and strategies. In addition to this, I acknowledge and discuss points in scholarship that connect with my discussion of their lyrical content, or that aided me in proposing what they could consider for future lyrical content. I analyzed six Jay-Z songs and six J. Cole songs, including one song from their earliest released studio album and one from their most recently released studio album. I examined their lyrical content to document responses to the following questions: What issues and topics are discussed in the lyrics; Is money referenced? If so, how; Is there a message of uplift or unity?; What does the artist speak out against?; What lifestyles and habits are promoted?; What guidance is provided?; What problems are mentioned? and What solutions are offered? In my thesis, I explored Jay-Z and J.

  • Basquiat and the Bayou,’ the No
    The Times-Picayune October 20, 2014 GAGOSIAN GALLERY ‘Basquiat and the Bayou,’ the No. 1 Prospect.3 art festival stop in New Orleans Doug MacCash Franklin Sirmans, artistic director, Prospect.3 international art festival in New Orleans (Photo by Doug MacCash / NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune) Though he died at age 27 in 1988, artist Jean-Michel Basquiat remains among the brightest of American art stars. For a short time, he was a street artist in New York’s burgeoning 1970s graffiti scene. His tag, SAMO, became a graffiti icon. Not long after, Basquiat climbed to the highest rungs of the rarified Manhattan art world, eventually even collaborating on paintings with pop legend Andy Warhol. His celebrity was almost unparalleled among visual artists. His expressionist paintings now hang in museums across the globe and sell for tens of millions. Reebok recently released a line of athletic shoes decorated with Basquiat images. A suite of nine of Basquiat’s artworks based on Southern themes has been assembled for the first time ever on the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s fifth floor. The exhibit, “Basquiat and the Bayou,” is certain to be the most popular stop during the Prospect.3 art festival that opens Oct. 25 and continues through Jan. 25, 2015. Franklin Sirmans, the artistic director of Prospect.3, has studied Basquiat for years. During a visit to the Ogden on Saturday (Oct. 18), Sirmans explained the amazing persistence of the artist’s popularity. Basquiat, as part of the New York graffiti and club scene in the 1970s and ‘80s, became a link to the beginnings of hip-hop culture, Sirmans said.

  • Critical Excess Watch the Throne and the New Gilded Age Tracking Pop Series
    Critical Excess Watch the Throne and the New Gilded Age Tracking Pop Series Jay-Z and Kanye West’s 2011 Watch the Throne is a self-avowed “luxury rap” album centered on Eurocentric conceptions of nobility, artistry, and haute couture. Critical Excess performs a close reading of the sonic and social commentary on this album, examining how the album alternately imagines and critiques the mutually reinforcing ideas of Europe, nobility, old money, art, and their standard bearer, whiteness. Reading the album alongside Black critical theory and work on the prophetic nature of music, Rollefson argues that through their performance of black excellence, opulence, and decadence, Jay-Z and Kanye West poured gas on the white resentment of the Obama presidency—a resentment that would ultimately spill over into public life, make audible the dog whistling of the Far Right, and embolden white supremacists to come out from under their rocks. Ultimately, Rollefson argues, Jay-Z and Kanye West’s performance of what Rollefson calls “critical excess” on this album exceeds the limits of conspicuous consumption and heralds the final stage of late capitalism—“the New Gilded Age.” J. Griffith Rollefson is professor of music at University College Cork, National University of Ireland. Rollefson is author of Flip the Script: European Hip Hop and the Politics of Postcoloniality and founding co- editor of the journal Global Hip Hop Studies. “J. Griffith Rollefson delivers a fresh and necessary revisitation to Watch the Throne in time for the pivotal album’s 10th anniversary. Rollefson’s Save 30% at analysis is wide-ranging and deep-probing, offering an intersectional framework for understanding Watch the Throne as a significant case press.umich.edu study of engaging hip hop’s tethering to globalization, commercialism, with promotion code and racial performance.” - Regina N.

  • “I Gotta Testify”: Conversations on Kanye West, Religion & Hip-Hop
    H-Announce “I Gotta Testify”: Conversations on Kanye West, Religion & Hip-Hop Announcement published by VaNatta Ford on Monday, September 21, 2015 Type: Call for Papers Date: October 19, 2015 Location: United States Subject Fields: African American History / Studies, Black History / Studies, Communication, Popular Culture Studies, Religious Studies and Theology CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS “I Gotta Testify”: Conversations on Kanye West, Religion & Hip-Hop Editors: Joshua K. Wright, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of History, University of Maryland Eastern Shore VaNatta Ford, Ph.D., Visiting Assistant Professor of Africana Studies, Williams College Adria Goldman, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Communication, Gordon State College Is Kanye West taking his listeners to heaven or hell? Is he a modern day bluesman promoting the devil’s music or a secular alternative to traditional as well as contemporary religious music? These are important questions to consider when evaluating the spiritual characteristics of hip-hop’s most polarizing artist. Since his 2004 debut album The College Dropout, Kanye West has been engaging his audience in ongoing conversations about God, religion, spirituality, and theodicy. Kanye’s fascination with these topics has been evident since his first hit song “Through the Wire,” which credits God for his survival from a nearly fatal car accident. An alternate music video for his Grammy Award winning song “Jesus Walks,” visualizes man’s personal relationship with Christ by featuring Kanye walking through the hood with his homeboy Jesus. Kanye provides listeners with a revival-like experience through his “GOOD Music” as he testifies on his sophomore album, Late Registration, about God’s mercy, his grandmother’s illness, inequality, temptation, gold diggers, the evils of the world, and “looking extra fly.” His third album, Graduation, with its heavy emphasis on Nommo (a West African term for the generative power of words) and self- Citation: VaNatta Ford.

  • Kanye West and Male Emotionality 1 the Department of Communication
    Kanye West and Male Emotionality 1 The Department of Communication Arts and Sciences Kanye West, Emotionality, & Individualism – Pioneering a Paradigm Shift Amongst Rap’s Elite Cory Steinle The Pennsylvania State University Kanye West and Male Emotionality 2 Abstract By analyzing countless song lyrics, criminal data, and investigate interviews from popular rappers, I was able to draw the conclusion that Kanye West had a significant and quantifiable impact on the frequency of emotionality & individualism within popular rap music. His status as a celebrity allowed for the cathartic release of emotions throughout his music career to be labeled as “revolutionary.”. At the time he released his freshman album, The College Dropout (2004), violence and hate were two emotions largely represented in the popular rap sphere. This was the aftermath of a previous decade of rap music besieged by violent, criminalistics themes inspired by rap’s very best – Biggie, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, and N.W.A. However, with Kanye’s new “pink polo” Chicago style, he was successfully able to enter the marketplace with a unique, individualistic style and sound. Themes of individualism and healthy emotionality can be found throughout his career, from his 2002 single “Through the Wire” through his seventh solo studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016). He stayed true to these themes throughout his first three studio albums, but it was his fourth album, 808’s & Heartbreak, that truly shifted the paradigm of rap music. This album cemented West’s place in history as one of the most influential artists of his time, inspiring many of his peers to adopt similar styles and motives as his own.

  • Steve Mcqueen Interviews Kanye West”, Interview Magazine, January 22, 2014
    Steve McQueen, “Steve McQueen Interviews Kanye West”, Interview Magazine, January 22, 2014 What's there left to say about Kanye West? Certainly, West himself would have plenty to say. After all, he's the guy who, during an NBC telethon to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina, proclaimed, off script, that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." He's the guy who stormed the stage at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and announced that his good friend Jay-Z's significant other, Beyoncé, should have won the prize just bestowed upon the perpetually in faux-awe Taylor Swift. He's the guy who, in front of the large fabricated-mountain set on his recent "Yeezus" tour, has alternately taken aim at Hedi Slimane, Bernard Arnault, François-Henri Pinault, and Nike; likened himself to Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, and Michelangelo; embarked on a long and winding monologue about Lenny Kravitz (at which Kravitz was present); and asked Google head Eric Schmidt to invest in his design firm Donda (named after West's late mother)—all while still retaining the level-eyed insight to hold Le Corbusier and Q-Tip as inhabitors of similarly lofty creative planes. A lot of it, of course, is just old-fashioned "I'm the Alpha with no Omega" hip-hop theater. But some of it seems to emanate from some deeper, less performative place for West. Lest we forget that before he was a pop-star polymath, he was an in-demand producer whose aspirations to become a rapper in his own right were thoroughly and consistently dismissed by the very people who were profiting from his skills as a songwriter and beat- maker.
