Krebs Office: Wilson-Short 115 Office Hours: TR 11:00-12:00, or by appointment E-mail: [email protected] Course Description and Objectives “It is what the paint signifies in the public imagination that defines whether it conveys high status or lowly character virtue.’‘ – Leonard Harris (2013), “Against Minstrelsy,” Black Diaspora Review. Vol 3, No. 2: p. 3. “Babylon, Babylon, out my window all I see is Babylon. On the news all I see is Babylon, and all niggas do is just babble on….ain’t got no gavel, I ain't tryna fight nobody battle, I-I just wanna be free, I ain't tryna be nobodies chattel.” – Ab-Soul (2012), “Terrorist Threats (feat.

Beyoncé, Charlie Wilson & Big Sean),” My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. This course introduces students to the critical investigation of hip hop around the globe, and begins by recognizing hip hop as a social cultural movement that exerts significant resistance against oppressive societal forces while simultaneously producing material and mental empowerment for marginalized peoples around the world. We will establish this claim by thoroughly examining both the aesthetics and elements of the art form, and its resultant sociocultural movement. Focusing on the roots of hip hop in the inner-cities of the United States during the late twentieth century, and its continued prominence in urban environments across the globe in the twenty-first century, we will highlight the relationships between art, capitalism, politics, and social movements in order to provide students with a working critique of the structural context in which hip hop arose, matured, and continues to evolve.

A qualitative exploratory study with a social constructionist lens used a non-probability sampling method to recruit six Masters-level social work students in a stakeholder-engaged focus group. Subjects took the Rap Music Attitude and Perception (RAP) Scale, to gage perceptions about the music genre. As part of the focus group, open-ended questions were presented about Hip Hop music video content with themes of institutional racism. Data analysis verified individual and collective processes of social identity construction, delineating social agency versus oppression, and exploring the educational merits of Hip Hop. A remarkable result was how students reacted to satirical manifestations of discrimination in the videos with both laughter and indignation towards misogynistic motifs.

If you’re LORDE, you go Hollywood, cold-call Kanye and curate the Hunger Games soundtrack — all while still finding your way around fame CRITICS ARE RAVINGWorldMags.net ABOUT ARETHA’S BRAND NEW ALBUM AS CANDIDATE FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR “Divas are everywhere these days, but there’s still only one Aretha. Franklin can still shut down the competition with a breathtaking, gospel-trained grace and power. Here, she tackles tunes by her peers, adding royal luster to Gladys Knight’s ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ and the Supremes’ ‘You Keep Me Hangin’ On.’ She saves extra energy for songs by younger neo-soul stars. She adds a welcome reggae feel to Alicia Keys’ ‘No One,’ and takes Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ to stratospheric heights. When Franklin then surprises with a segue into the Motown classic ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,’ the wow factor is off the charts. That’s also the case on a mashup of ‘I’m Every Woman’ with a revived version of ‘Respect,’ on which Franklin ad-libs, ‘I am the Queen.’ Let there be no argument about that.” - THE BOSTON GLOBE “Aretha’s brand new album is shaping up as another key moment in Franklin’s half-century recording career, artistically and potentially commercially rejuvenating her once again.
