  • S Mumble Rap
    Popular Music (2020) Volume 39/2. © The Author(s), 2020. Published by Cambridge University Press, pp. 208–232 10.1017/S026114302000015X ‘Every time I dress myself, it go motherfuckin’ viral’: Post-verbal flows and memetic hype in Young Thug’s mumble rap MICHAEL WAUGH Newcastle University, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK Abstract Hip-hop studies have historically centred on issues of the ‘street’ or virtuosic lyricism and flow, fore- grounded as evidence of the ‘seriousness’ of the genre. While these have undoubtedly been valuable theoretical approaches, the prominence of social networking in the 2010s (with its vast implications for communication and identity politics) has sculpted a generation of rappers whose vocal style and self-representation disintegrate prior assumptions about hip-hop identity. These artists, who have flourished in tandem with the rise of streaming services, have been disparagingly dubbed ‘mumble rap’ by traditionalists owing to the apparent indecipherability of their vocals and a lack of emphasis on observational or poetic lyricism. In this article I argue that this myopic label undervalues the groundbreakingly post-verbal nature of the music being created by these rappers, and highlights the innovations of mumble rap, exploring the centrality of social media, memes and streaming to its existence while critically examining its protagonists’ unconventionally stylised vocals. After ana- lysing the impact of streaming, information overload and audience participation (through social media hype and memes) on contemporary hip-hop, I survey the growth of melodic Auto-Tuned vocals and repetitive lyricism in the work of pioneering mumble rappers such as Future, before turn- ing to an extended examination of Atlanta’s Young Thug, whose controversially malleable vocal style, which prioritises experimentation with vocal textures while confounding the rules of hip-hop flow, is mirrored by his impulsive exploitation of social media and androgynous fashion sense, establishing him as the most revolutionary archetype of so-called mumble rap.

  • Hip-Hop Packet (2007-Present) Questions by William Golden
    Hip-Hop Packet (2007-present) Questions by William Golden 1. Rich Boy raps “Let me introduce my lady / Her name is Beretta and she’s motherfucking crazy” in a “Street Remix” to this song also featuring Bun B. This song is prominently sampled in one where Kanye raps “I’m Christopher Columbus, y’all just the Pilgrims”; that song also features Lil Wayne and is by T.I. This song gained popularity after it was featured in the trailer for the stoner comedy film (*) Pineapple Express. ​ ​ ​ This Diplo-produced song is the biggest hit from the album Kala, and a sample from it was used in the song ​ ​ “Swagga Like Us.” In this song, whose primary sample is taken from the Clash’s “Straight to Hell,” the artist sings “All I wanna do is” before the sounds of gunshots and a cash register play. For 10 points, name this 2007 song whose title refers to counterfeit visas, by M.I.A. ANSWER: “Paper Planes” ​ ​ 2. In his bizarre verse on the remix of iLoveMakonnen’s “Down 4 so Long,” Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig claims he is doing this dance “with some goth teens.” In a song named for this dance, the main artist raps “I’m G-U-N, bitch, I’mma die with my gun” and says “I brr with that, ah-ah-ah.” In the song that popularized this dance, the artist raps “Free Greasy tho, let all of my dogs out / Mama said no pussycats inside my doghouse.” (*) Rowdy Rebel released a song named for this dance with its creator, who throws his ​ Knicks cap into the air before doing this dance in one music video.
