  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Rice and Rap: Hip Hop
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Rice and Rap: Hip Hop Music, Black/Asian American Racialization, and the Role of the U.S. Multicultural Neoliberal State A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Asian American Studies by Michelle Mihwa Chang 2015 © Copyright by Michelle Mihwa Chang 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Rice and Rap: Hip Hop Music, Black/Asian American Racialization, and the Role of the U.S. Multicultural Neoliberal State by Michelle Mihwa Chang Master of Arts in Asian American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Kyungwon Hong, Chair This paper explores Black and Asian American racialization within the multicultural neoliberal state. Looking at Los Angeles in the 1980s and early 1990s, I examine the rise of multiculturalism and neoliberalism within the US as it parallels the rise and commercialization of hip hop music sub-genre, gangsta rap. By examining the multicultural neoliberal state, and its consequences for communities of color, I look at the ways in which Black/Asian American racialization occurred through the tropes of the gangster and the model minority, respectively. Moreover, I contend that the multicultural neoliberal state relied on popular constructions of Asianness and Blackness in order to maintain whiteness, conceal state-violences, and define its national borders of inclusion and exclusion, and gangsta rap provided an ideal space for this. My project also explores progressive rap and the ways in which it ii manifested from the same conditions of gangsta rap, yet managed to produce itself differently. Lastly, I conclude with a close examination of the hip hop duo Blue Scholars (featuring Asian American emcee Prometheus Brown) and their song, “Morning of America,” which addresses and challenges this particular moment of the 1980s through the lens of the colonized subject and racialized other.

  • “Raising Hell”—Run-DMC (1986) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Bill Adler (Guest Post)*
    “Raising Hell”—Run-DMC (1986) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Bill Adler (guest post)* Album cover Label Run-DMC Released in May of 1986, “Raising Hell” is to Run-DMC what “Sgt. Pepper’s” is to the Beatles--the pinnacle of their recorded achievements. The trio--Run, DMC, and Jam Master Jay--had entered the album arena just two years earlier with an eponymous effort that was likewise earth-shakingly Beatlesque. Just as “Meet the Beatles” had introduced a new group, a new sound, a new language, a new look, and a new attitude all at once, so “Run-DMC” divided the history of hip-hop into Before-Run-DMC and After-Run-DMC. Of course, the only pressure on Run-DMC at the very beginning was self-imposed. They were the young guns then, nothing to lose and the world to gain. By the time of “Raising Hell,” they were monarchs, having anointed themselves the Kings of Rock in the title of their second album. And no one was more keenly aware of the challenge facing them in ’86 than the guys themselves. Just a year earlier, LL Cool J, another rapper from Queens, younger than his role models, had released his debut album to great acclaim. Run couldn’t help but notice. “All I saw on TV and all I heard on the radio was LL Cool J,” he recalls, “Oh my god! It was like I was Richard Pryor and he was Eddie Murphy!” Happily, the crew was girded for battle. Run-DMC’s first two albums had succeeded as albums, not just a collection of singles--a plan put into effect by Larry Smith, who produced those recordings with Russell Simmons, the group’s manager.

Strategic Audit of Adidas An Undergraduate Honors Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of University Honors Program Requirements University of Nebraska-Lincoln by Mason Wright, BS Computer Science College of Arts and Sciences April 11, 2019 Faculty Mentor: Sam Nelson, Ph.D., Management Abstract Adidas is a well-established brand in the world of sportswear and lifestyle clothing. In recent years, the company has been regaining success after a period of stagnation. Spurring this success is the renewed popularity of old classic shoe models and a surge in the lifestyle clothing trend. While adidas is doing well, it is not the top sportswear company in the world and is far behind in North America. In an attempt to boost the recent success even further, this thesis analyzes the current situation that adidas faces including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. With this information as a background, this paper then discusses potential new strategies for adidas, ultimately deciding that obtaining a larger number of star athlete endorsements is a strategy that could quickly make a large impact for the company.

    adidas Olympic Games Heritage 1920 Herzogenaurach Adi Dassler Adi Dassler made his first ‘handmade’ training shoe in his parents’ 20-square metre washroom. 1928 Amsterdam Lina Radke Eight years on and adi's shoes made their debut at the Amsterdam Olympic Games with immediate success as Karoline Radke-Batschauer “Lina Radke” won Gold in the first ever Women’s 800m competition in World Record time. 1932 Los Angeles Arthur Jonath As the Great Depression gripped the world, Hollywood welcomed the Olympic Games and Adi Dassler crafted a new track spike, featuring stitched “stripes” and reinforced eye-stays. Two athletes won medals in Adi’s shoes: Germany’s Arthur Jonath and American Wilhelmina von Bremen both clinched gold in their respective 100m finals. 1936 Berlin Jesse Owens As politics and sport collided in Berlin, Adi Dassler remained focused on making the best footwear products for athletes including James Cleveland “Jesse” Owens. The young American was the most successful athlete in Berlin, winning four gold medals in front of Adolf Hitler in shoes that boasted specially positioned spikes and low-cut upper. 1948 London Emil Zátopek Post World War II the Olympic Games were seen as a way of reuniting the world through athletic competition and the spirit of true sportsmanship. In a glimpse of things to come, Emil Zátopek, the young “Czech Locomotive”, ran to Gold in the 10,000m and Silver in the 5,000m wearing Dassler’s lightweight shoes. In the same year, “adidas” was registered as the brand with the three stripes. 1952 Helsinki Bob Mathias In one of the greatest performances of all time, Emil Zátopek pulled off an incredible triple at the Helsinki Olympic Games winning Gold in the 5,000m, 10,000m, and the marathon over the course of seven days.

  • Taking a Closer Look at the Moral Fabric of Athletic Footwear an INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
    Taking a Closer Look at the Moral Fabric of Athletic Footwear AN INDUSTRY ANALYSIS © 2020 Center for a Humane Economy. All Rights Reserved. SUMMARY Signicant developments in plant-based fabrics, plastics, and other synthetic products have spurred a sharp reduction in the amount of leather in footwear in the last decade, particularly in athletic shoes. The total number of shoes containing leather has declined by tens of millions in recent years. When you hear the name Stella McCartney, you might initially think of a high-end fashion show with models striding down the runway, cameras clicking, from New York to Paris to Milan. McCartney is also known for items suited to a dierent kind of runway — the track and eld kind. Her latest collection of shoes and athletic wear for adidas launched in March 2009, marking over a decade of collaboration between the fashion icon and the tness powerhouse. McCartney’s athletic wear line does not just strive for good-looking apparel. It’s also animal-friendly. Her line shuns leather, fur, feathers, wool, or other animal products. The McCartney brand equals cruelty-free. Adding to the sustainability credentials of these products, about 70 % of the fabrics McCartney uses come from recycled materials. Last year adidas released a cruelty-free shoe assembled with heat rather than glue that also addresses the international disposal of millions of pairs headed for landlls. According to Eric Leidtke, adidas’ executive board member responsible for global brands, “Futurecraft Loop is [the] rst running shoe that is made to be remade.” The key to its recyclability is the shoe’s design, which utilizes only a single ingredient – thermoplastic polyurethane – rather than the typical 12-15 materials which make recycling so dicult.
