  • Race and Justice 2014, Vol
    Article Race and Justice 2014, Vol. 4(3) 185-211 ª The Author(s) 2014 Rap on Trial Reprints and permission: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/2153368714525411 raj.sagepub.com Charis E. Kubrin1 and Erik Nielson2 Abstract In criminal proceedings across the United States, rap music lyrics are being introduced as evidence of a defendant’s guilt. In this article, we draw attention to this disturbing practice, what we call ‘‘rap on trial,’’ and explore its context, describe its elements and contours, and consider its broader significance. We first offer historical context, demonstrating that although the widespread use of rap lyrics in criminal trials may be a relatively recent phenomenon, it resides within a long tradition of antagonism between the legal establishment and hip-hop culture, one that can be traced back to hip-hop’s earliest roots. We then offer examples of recent cases in which rap music has been used as evidence in trials against amateur rappers, almost all of whom are young men of color, in order to illustrate the specific ways that prosecutors present the music to judges and juries, as well as to highlight the devastating effects it can have on defendants. In the final section, we consider the elements of rap music that leave it vulnerable to judicial abuse and the artistic, racial, and legal ramifications of using this particular genre of music to put people in jail. We conclude with recommendations for further research in this area, pointing out specific areas where scholarship would most effectively expose what it means to put rap on trial.

    U.S. Hip-Hop Studies: Formation, Flow and Trajectory Interview with Murray Forman by Séverin Guillard How did Hip-Hop Studies emerge as a legitimate field of study? This interview with Murray Forman, who has contributed to the development of this field, shows the links between the recognition of rap and related artforms and the rise of academic analyses. This interview1 is published in partnership with Volume! The French Journal of Popular Music Studies, to mark the publication of a special issue dedicated to hip-hop (“Le Monde ou Rien ? Légitimité et authenticité des musiques hip-hop”, co-edited by Séverin Guillard and Marie Sonnette). Murray Forman is a professor in Media and Screen Studies at Northeastern University, Boston, and a prominent figure in U.S. Hip-Hop Studies. In 2002, he published a touchstone book (The Hood Comes First: Race, Space and Place in Rap and Hip-Hop, Wesleyan University Press) in which he analyzed the history of U.S. rap via representations and discourses on spatiality and cultural geographies. With Mark Anthony Neal, he co-edited That’s the Joint! The Hip-Hop Studies Reader (2004, Routledge, 2nd edition in 2012), the first anthology of its kind. In 2014–2015, he was one 1 It is also an extension of a keynote Murray Forman presented at the “Conçues pour durer: perspectives francophones sur les musiques hip-hop” 2017 conference. of the two inaugural recipients of the Harvard University Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship, which enabled him to develop new research on age and aging in hip-hop.

  • Migration and Musical Creativity in Bronx Neighbourhoods

Most of the early Bronx hip-hop jams, led by pioneering DJs like Kool Herc, Afri- ka Bambatta, Charley Chase, and Disco King Mario took place in the community centres and public spaces of Bronx housing pro- ject and subsidized middle income housing developments created under the Mitchell Lama program. The Bronx’s legacy of musical creativity was not only a reflection of the immigrants and migrants who came into its neighbourhoods it was fostered by enlightened government policies which created affordable housing for the Bronx’s working class and middle class residents of the borough. It is my argument that culture is political, and that cultural creati- vity is responsive to government initiatives ranging from liberali- sed immigration laws to the construction of affordable housing. Keywords Migration, musical creativity, Bronx, jazz, Bronx History, housing policy. * Professor of African American Studies and History at Fordham University in New York, Principal Investigator, Bronx African American History Project, he has also been a po- litical activist since the 1960s, ([email protected]).

  • The Demand for Collective and Individual Human Rights Action in the Music of Rebel Diaz
    FORUM FOR INTER-AMERICAN RESEARCH (FIAR) VOL. 12.2 (OCT. 2019) 65-73 ISSN: 1867-1519 © forum for inter-american research Persistent Resistance: The Demand for Collective and Individual Human Rights Action in the Music of Rebel Diaz TERENCE KUMPF (TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT DORTMUND, GERMANY) Abstract From the 19th to the 21st centuries, and through folk, blues, jazz, punk, and hip-hop, activists have relied on music to engage people in the fight for human rights. When it comes to conscious hip-hop and activism in the United States today, few artists compare to Rebel Diaz. A bilingual English-Spanish duo triangulated between the South Bronx, Chicago, and Chile, the group consists of brothers Rodrigo (RodStarz) and Gonzalo (G1) Venegas, UK-born/US-educated children of Chilean dissidents who fled the Pinochet regime in the 1970s. From labor rights (“Work Like Chavez”) and immigration (“I’m an Alien”) to police malfeasance (“Stop! Stop and Frisk!”) and corrupt elected officials (“#Crook”), the issues Rebel Diaz takes up resonate locally and globally. Concentrating on aesthetics, this article examines how the group marshals their music to demand justice. Close readings of “Stop! Stop and Frisk!” and “#Crook” detail how Rebel Diaz’s lyrical, musical, and visualization strategies cohere to create rich, semiotic texts that entertain, educate, and encourage audiences to confront police misconduct—specifically, the harassment and murder of people of color in America’s urban communities. In closing, this article considers how the Venegas brothers utilize independent media to further the human rights agenda outlined in their music. Keywords: Hip-hop, Activism, Police Misconduct, Aesthetics, Independent Media A Thumbnail Sketch of Music’s Role in the suffered immense hardship as a result of the US Fight for Human Rights government’s failed, monocultural agriculture policies of the 1930s.

Retrieved from doi: https://doi.org/10.31294/jc.v19i1 Abstract - Hip hop has the power to be a political force. It has also been successful in mobilizing young people for political activities through organizations and big rappers. Unlike its past where the music genre had a commitment to resist and challenge mainstream politics, the United States presidential election of 2008 changed the tradition from defying politics to actively engaging in it. Obama’s blackness became the impetus to this progressive move for his candidacy was regarded as the most tangible manifestation of a black leader. The political engagement, however, is limited to the fact that music has been monopolized by few companies and that hip-hop artists often have personal interests when involving in politics.

There are numerous people who have supported me along the way, without whose contributions this project would not have been possible. I first want to thank Olis Simmons, Executive Director of Youth UpRising (YU), as well as the entire crew at YU, the youth leadership development organization in Oakland that provided me with a much-needed social anchor in an otherwise expansive fieldwork setting that felt daunting at first. The YU team is truly fighting the good fight in its efforts to reach out to young people in danger of “falling through the cracks” of our frayed social fabric.
