  • Music Glocalization
    Music Glocalization Master Thesis Submitted on September 16, 2019 Pages: 58 Character count: 96,127 Student number: 122725 Name: Giulia Laregina Supervisor: Alexander Josiassen 1 Abstract 3 Introduction 4 Literature Review 7 Conceptual Model 17 Preliminary Analysis 20 Hypotheses 37 Method 41 Results 46 Discussion 52 Conclusion 57 Bibliography 60 Discography 69 Appendix I - A Brief History of Italian Trap Music 71 Appendix II – SPSS Data 74 2 Abstract Almost two decades after its birth, trap music is now a worldwide phenomenon. Nevertheless, despite its popularity - or better, precisely because of it - in the past years trap music has been heavily criticized over and over again, being depicted as an evil force that is gradually wiping out musical diversity from the world. But is trap music really always the same? To answer this question, this Master Thesis analyzed the Italian trap music case, one of the many examples of trap music glocalization. This Thesis had a dual approach: first, descriptive, and then quantitative, in order to present the most objective evaluation possible. The descriptive analysis compared our global music form - namely, American trap music - and of our glocal music form - namely, Italian trap music. Then, the findings of the aforementioned analysis were used to better specify the similarities and differences of the two music forms, both in terms of sound and of feelings. Finally, the findings were tested using some of the so-called Spotify audio features. The quantitative analysis confirmed the two main hypotheses of the Thesis: Italian trap music sound very similar to American trap music, but ultimately feels quite different from it.

    1. A theory about the origin of this term points out that it appears after the line “I’m trill working the wheel” in the 2000 Three 6 Mafia song “Sippin on Some Syrup.” A TikTok trend associated with this term uses an audio mashup of “Hey Ya!’ by Outkast and “Rockstar” by Post Malone. A popular TikTok song by Yung Nugget titled for this word contains the lyrics “Just cop you some ice to put on your wrist / And take off those cargo shorts, they look like shit” and contains a dialogue between a young boy and his (*) doctor, who has diagnosed the boy high on a scale named for this word. A Tweet from user @kingfadedz in October of 2019 using this word posted a video of clips from the Regular Show to illustrate how Mordecai personifies this word. TikTok user neekolul has been called the “Queen of” this word after men started drooling over her viral “OK Boomer” TikTok. For 10 points, name this slang word which has gained recent attention for its use as a derogatory description of submissive men. ANSWER: simp [accept other word forms] 2. In one TikTok with this song as the background audio, a teacher infiltrates the boys bathroom and seems to be about to bust two boys for vaping, but instead takes a fat hit of the JUUL. In a similar TikTok using this same song, an RA shows up to bust a pregame at a dorm but gets knocked out by a punch from Chad. The song “No Time For Emotion” from the Kingsman: Golden Circle soundtrack is an adaptation of this song.

Gangsta Rap and the Trapped Mentality An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in Communication Arts. By Mikalah Guyton Under the mentorship of Shana Bridges ABSTRACT This research paper provides historical background into the evolution of Hip Hop culture and further investigation into the evolution and foundation of Gangsta Rap music. Throughout this investigation, five recurring fundamental themes are recognized through patterns presented by its pioneers. The five themes that are addressed within this subgenre include: (1) masculinity, (2) respect, (3) violence and retaliation, (4) misogyny, and (5) wealth. As Gangsta Rap emerged into popular culture, it became socially acceptable to exploit issues and limitations experienced within African American communities. In turn, Gangsta rappers overcame limitations typically experienced by black males. In what follows I will provide origins and characteristics of Gangsta Rap. I will discuss the emergence of Trap music from Gangsta Rap.
