In recent months, King has been in the news for controversial comments about immigrants and other minority groups. His new- est commentary has had tough consequences for him on Capitol Hill. According to the New York Times, King has pre- viously “publicly promoted white nationalists and neo-Nazis on Twitter and disparaged nonwhite groups for years.” Despite most of this and more happening be- fore the midterm election this past November, in which King was up for re-election, he was still chosen again to represent the 4th District – although by a surprisingly small margin for this historically conservative area. It seems the final straw for members of the GOP was an interview with the New York Times in which King wondered why terms such as “white nationalist” had be- PHOTO COURTESY OF GOOGLE IMAGES come offensive, according to CNN.

I would like to thank Annagret Pelz for her support, as well as all the participants in the 2015-2016 Franz Werfel Seminar, whose feedback and suggestions were invaluable, especially Caroline Kita and organizers Michael Rohrwasser and Constanze Fliedl. During my time in Vienna, I had the opportunity to learn about Austrian rap from a number of artists and practitioners, and would like to thank Flip and Huckey of Texta, Millionen Keys, and DJ Taekwondo. A special thank you to Tibor Valyi-Nagy for attending shows with me and drawing my attention to connections I otherwise would have missed.

  • Some Rap Songs Full Album Download
    some rap songs full album download What Is Rap Music? Rap music, also known as Hip-Hop music is a rhythmic music genre derived from the Hip-Hop culture (rapping, beatboxing, DJing, break dancing and graffiti writing). Rapping is performed by Emcees/MC’s/Rappers who use their vocals in a melodic rhyme form which is often described as being very similar to poetry. Rappers can go acapella (rapping without a beat/instrumental) or perform on a track in a freestyle or written form. As a whole, rap music has grown to be immensely popular, especially to those who live in poor areas or/and people who are going through personal struggles. This is because many rap artists come from poor areas themselves and have also gone through the same strugglers experienced by the listener, so naturally they can relate to their music. Styles Of Rap Music. Rap music is one of the most popular music genres in the world and since its birth in the 1970’s in Bronx, New York, it has broken off into various subgenres and has even fused with other music genres. Its heavily influenced by Funk, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Soul and Disco music. Entire books can be written (and has been written) about rapping and the history of hip-hop. I won’t get into that as they can be better explained by other authors. My main focus in this article is on the different styles of modern rap music. Generally, rap beats are between 75-110 BPM (beats per minute), although there is no rule and it can range widely depending on one’s personal preference.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.
