HIP-HOP’S DIVERSITY AND MISPERCEPTIONS by Andrew Cashman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a Degree with Honors (Anthropology) The Honors College University of Maine August 2020 Advisory Committee: Joline Blais, Associate Professor of New Media, Advisor Kreg Ettenger, Associate Professor of Anthropology Christine Beitl, Associate Professor of Anthropology Sharon Tisher, Lecturer, School of Economics and Honors Stuart Marrs, Professor of Music 2020 Andrew Cashman All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The misperception that hip-hop is a single entity that glorifies wealth and the selling of drugs, and promotes misogynistic attitudes towards women, as well as advocating gang violence is one that supports a mainstream perspective towards the marginalized.1 The prevalence of drug dealing and drug use is not a picture of inherent actions of members in the hip-hop community, but a reflection of economic opportunities that those in poverty see as a means towards living well. Some artists may glorify that, but other artists either decry it or offer it as a tragic reality. In hip-hop trends build off of music and music builds off of trends in a cyclical manner.

D’Andrea’s is an insightful study of expressive indi- vidualism manifested in and through key cosmopolitan sites. This book is an 5 invaluable contribution to the anthropology/sociology of contemporary culture, 6 and presents required reading for students and scholars of new spiritualities, 7 techno-dance culture and globalization. 8 Graham St John, Research Fellow, 9 School of American Research, New Mexico 20111 1 D'Andrea breaks new ground in the scholarship on both globalization and the shaping of subjectivities.

Anthony D’Andrea examines 30111 the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit of counter- 1 cultural practice in paradoxical paradises. 2 Based on nomadic fieldwork across Spain and India, the study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland to shape an alternative 3 lifestyle.

  • Rapp Snitch Knishes: the Danger of Using Gangster Rap Lyrics to Prove Defendants’ Character
    RAPP SNITCH KNISHES: THE DANGER OF USING GANGSTER RAP LYRICS TO PROVE DEFENDANTS’ CHARACTER Rap Snitches, Telling all their business/ Sit in the court and be their own star witness/ Do you see the perpetrator? – Yeah I’m right here/ Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years.1 -- From Rapp Snitch Knishes (2004) INTRODUCTION Suppose the year is 1842. The dismembered body of a man has been found beneath the floorboards of a home in the city of Baltimore. The prime suspect in this homicide is current Baltimore resident, Edgar Allan Poe. The prosecution seeks to enter into evidence a short story that the defendant has been preparing for publication. In this story, the narrator murders a man who has, as the narrator describes it, a “vulture-eye,” and cuts the body to pieces in his bathtub and buries the remains below his floorboards. The victim in the case at hand had a lazy eye and the home under which he was buried did not belong to Mr. Poe. Despite the differences between the novel and the real-life case, the prosecution seeks to have Mr. Poe’s short story presented to show that Mr. Poe had the intent to commit the crime, knowledge of methods of homicide and disposal of evidence, and a plan to commit homicide and dispose of the evidence. Should the admission of Mr. Poe’s in- progress short story be admitted?2 Evidence is anything offered to the court to be shown to a jury to persuade it of the “existence or nonexistence of a fact.”3 Rule 401 of the Federal Rules of Evidence requires that evidence be relevant.4 To be 1.
