  • In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence
    In Defense of Rap Music: Not Just Beats, Rhymes, Sex, and Violence THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Joesell Radford, BA Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Beverly Gordon, Advisor Professor Adrienne Dixson Copyrighted by Crystal Joesell Radford 2011 Abstract This study critically analyzes rap through an interdisciplinary framework. The study explains rap‟s socio-cultural history and it examines the multi-generational, classed, racialized, and gendered identities in rap. Rap music grew out of hip-hop culture, which has – in part – earned it a garnering of criticism of being too “violent,” “sexist,” and “noisy.” This criticism became especially pronounced with the emergence of the rap subgenre dubbed “gangsta rap” in the 1990s, which is particularly known for its sexist and violent content. Rap music, which captures the spirit of hip-hop culture, evolved in American inner cities in the early 1970s in the South Bronx at the wake of the Civil Rights, Black Nationalist, and Women‟s Liberation movements during a new technological revolution. During the 1970s and 80s, a series of sociopolitical conscious raps were launched, as young people of color found a cathartic means of expression by which to describe the conditions of the inner-city – a space largely constructed by those in power. Rap thrived under poverty, police repression, social policy, class, and gender relations (Baker, 1993; Boyd, 1997; Keyes, 2000, 2002; Perkins, 1996; Potter, 1995; Rose, 1994, 2008; Watkins, 1998).

  • ENG 350 Summer12
    ENG 350: THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP With your host, Dr. Russell A. Potter, a.k.a. Professa RAp Monday - Thursday, 6:30-8:30, Craig-Lee 252 http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ In its rise to the top of the American popular music scene, Hip-hop has taken on all comers, and issued beatdown after beatdown. Yet how many of its fans today know the origins of the music? Sure, people might have heard something of Afrika Bambaataa or Grandmaster Flash, but how about the Last Poets or Grandmaster CAZ? For this class, we’ve booked a ride on the wayback machine which will take us all the way back to Hip-hop’s precursors, including the Blues, Calypso, Ska, and West African griots. From there, we’ll trace its roots and routes through the ‘parties in the park’ in the late 1970’s, the emergence of political Hip-hop with Public Enemy and KRS-One, the turn towards “gangsta” style in the 1990’s, and on into the current pantheon of rappers. Along the way, we’ll take a closer look at the essential elements of Hip-hop culture, including Breaking (breakdancing), Writing (graffiti), and Rapping, with a special look at the past and future of turntablism and digital sampling. Our two required textbook are Bradley and DuBois’s Anthology of Rap (Yale University Press) and Neal and Forman’s That's the Joint: The Hip-Hop Studies Reader are both available at the RIC campus store. Films shown in part or in whole will include Bamboozled, Style Wars, The Freshest Kids: A History of the B-Boy, Wild Style, and Zebrahead; there will is also a course blog with a discussion board and a wide array of links to audio and text resources at http://350hiphop.blogspot.com/ WRITTEN WORK: An informal response to our readings and listenings is due each week on the blog.

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.

  • Article on Conscious Hip Hop
    Article on Conscious Hip Hop Excerpt From De La Soul Article By Sheryl Garret, Sunday Times (London), July 1996 In 1989, De La Soul's debut album Three Feet High And Rising was hailed by New York's Village Voice as "the Sergeant Pepper of hip hop". The 24 short but sweet tracks rapped about everything from dandruff to their so-called Daisy Age philosophy, but the quirky humour and catchy hooks hid a more serious intent that may have got lost in the face of the album's massive commercial success. Along with the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul were part of a loose organisation called Native Tongues, a hip hop collective based around zany humour, eclectic samples and, most of all, positive vibes. Hip hop meanwhile became dominated by the West Coast sound known as gangsta rap – a verbal cocktail of violence, sexism, guns, drugs and money. On the phone from the US, De La Soul's main spokesman Pos (Kelvin Mercer) says they're reluctant to be seen as a kind of "hip hop police", but admits they took a back-to-basics approach this time because "there are a lot of messages that we wanted to put across to the people, and if you want to teach something, you can't present eleventh- or twelfth-grade material to ninth-grade students". The problem, [Pos] points out, is that … one man's poetry is another's obscenity. If it were left to politicians, many would favour silencing all rap as an inconvenient articulation of black experience.

  • Ellis Stagg-Neal
    Catch up Sessions: Ellis Stagg-Neal One of East London’s most innovative young music producers, discusses his career so far. A week ago I had the pleasure of catching up with Ellis Stagg Neal, an up and coming hip-hop producer from East London. We met in Stoke Newington, his birthplace and coincidentally, mine too. Despite living so close, arranging an interview proved to be quite difficult, it took a few weeks for him to find a slot to come and speak to me. As he strolls in to meet me at The Prince of Wales pub, he is wearing navy blue trousers, a harrington jacket and classic all black air max 90’s, and he has a surprisingly relaxed persona for someone who seems to be quite so busy, ‘you have to try and stay calm no matter how hectic things are getting, stressing gets you nowhere, I like to just get on with my shit as soon as it’s given to me, whether it’s coursework or music projects out of college”. “There is no secret, it’s just trial and error” We immediately start talking about genres the music scene is being dominated by. He admits his style ‘isn’t accessible to everyone,’ but this obviously doesn’t stop him from making his skippy yet soulful hip hop beats. It’s clear his inspirations aren’t entirely from our generation, he reminisced about when he first listened to D’Angelo and J Dilla, and how at that point something in his brain clicked, he said to himself “that’s what I wanna do.” It wasn’t too long before we got on to the topic of trap.
