  • Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, Its People
    It’s Not Me, It’s You: Considering the Worthy Sacrifice Hip Hop Artists May Need to Make to Reclaim the Heart of Hip Hop, its People by Sharieka Shontae Botex April, 2019 Director of Thesis: Dr. Wendy Sharer Major Department: English The origins of Hip Hop evidence that the art form was intended to provide more than music to listen to, but instead offer art that delivers messages on behalf of people who were not always listened to. My thesis offers an analysis of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content and adds to an ongoing discussion of the potential Hip Hop artists have to be effective leaders for the Black community, whose lyrical content can be used to make positive change in society, and how this ability at times can be compromised by creating content that doesn’t evidence this potential or undermines it. Along with this, my work highlights how some of Jay-Z and J. Cole’s lyrical content exhibits their use of some rhetorical strategies and techniques used in social movements and their use of some African American rhetorical practices and strategies. In addition to this, I acknowledge and discuss points in scholarship that connect with my discussion of their lyrical content, or that aided me in proposing what they could consider for future lyrical content. I analyzed six Jay-Z songs and six J. Cole songs, including one song from their earliest released studio album and one from their most recently released studio album. I examined their lyrical content to document responses to the following questions: What issues and topics are discussed in the lyrics; Is money referenced? If so, how; Is there a message of uplift or unity?; What does the artist speak out against?; What lifestyles and habits are promoted?; What guidance is provided?; What problems are mentioned? and What solutions are offered? In my thesis, I explored Jay-Z and J.

Rev. ___ Draft Oct. 1, 2014 INTRODUCTION Copyright law sets up an inevitable tension between the intellectual property of creators and the personal property of consumers—in other words, between copyrights and copies. On the one hand, ownership of the copyright confers the rights holder exclusivity over an intangible creative work. On the other, ownership of the copy secures domain over the use and alienation of a concrete instantiation of the work, sometimes in ways that would otherwise violate the exclusive rights of the copyright holder.1 The tension between these rights highlights copyright law’s role in regulating consumer behavior and personal property. It tells us, after all, where we can play our records, to whom we display our paintings, and whether we can sell our books.2 † Associate Professor, Case Western Reserve University School of Law †† Associate Professor of Clinical Law, New York University School of Law Thanks to Dave Fagundes, Brad Greenberg, James Grimmelmann, Jessica Litman, Mike Madison, Christina Mulligan, Sarah Schindler, and Lea Shaver, as well the participants of the Intellectual Property Scholars Conference at Cardozo Law School, the Works in Progress IP Conference at Santa Clara University School of Law, the University of Michigan Law School IP Workshop series, the Indiana University Robert H.

  • Never Change 2.1
    Never Change 2.1: A Look at Jay-Z’s Lyrical Evolution kashema h. www.kashema.com Never Change 2.1: A look Jay-Z’s Lyrical Evolution By kashema h. “Intro” Jay-Z’s classic album Reasonable Doubt (1996) turned 20 years old this summer but it has been two years since he has released another album. He released “Spiritual” after the extrajudicial killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Jay is featured on the remix of “All the Way Up” and teamed up with DJ Khaled and Future to create “I Got the Keys.” Back in April, Mr. Carter made a cameo on his wife’s Beyoncé’s visual album, Lemonade as a family man. The last time we saw the lyricist in full rap mode (e.g. album, singles and tour) was for Magna Carta Holy Grail in 2013. The promotional On The Run trailer for the married couple’s tour stars Jay-Z and Beyoncé as bank robbers à la Bonnie and Clyde, and features all kinds of guns, ski masks, shady figures, cop chases and a line-up. In 2014, I started to think about Jay’s past criminal life as a drug dealer, and his references to it on his records. I let the thing between my eyes analyze Jay’s skills, then put it down—type Braille...you feel me? Last month, the rapper narrated the New York Times Op-Ed: “The War on Drugs Is an Epic Fail.” I went back to my study of Jay-Z and his lyrics with a more critical eye.

  • The Authenticity of a Rapper: the Lyrical Divide Between Personas
    The Authenticity of a Rapper: The Lyrical Divide Between Personas and Persons by Hannah Weiner A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2014 © March 25, 2014 Hannah Weiner Acknowledgements The past year has been dedicated to listening to countless hours of rap music, researching hip hop blogs, talking to everyone who will listen about exciting ideas about Kanye West, and, naturally, writing. Many individuals have provided assistance that helped an incredible amount during the process of writing and researching for this thesis. Firstly, I am truly indebted to my advisor, Macklin Smith. This thesis would not be nearly as thorough in rap’s historical background or in hip hop poetics without his intelligent ideas. His helpfulness with drafts, inclusion of his own work in e-mails, and willingness to meet over coffee not only deepened my understanding of my own topic, but also made me excited to write and research hip hop poetics. I cannot express how much I appreciated his feedback and flexibility in working with me. I am also grateful for Gillian White’s helpfulness throughout the writing process, as well. After several office hours and meetings outside of class, she has offered invaluable insight into theories on sincerity and the “personal,” and provided me with numerous resources that helped form many of the ideas expressed in my argument. I thank my family for supporting me and offering me hospitality when the stresses of thesis writing overwhelmed me on campus. They have been supportive and a source of love and compassion throughout this process and the past 21 years, as well.

The new \Uncle Tom"'s of Our New Media. Camille Akmut Working paper. Abstract In his unfinished manuscript, James Baldwin created what can be considered the premise of a complete and general theory of the re- lationship between our new media, popular culture particularly, and the structures of our domination. According to Marx, they who have power control ideas. Because, our times are not theirs, though many parallels can be found, we must turn to them, who, poison our minds, and make all of our lives unlike they should be. We must turn to them in all areas : no matter if \false intellectuals", or the false idols of our times. In the times that are ours, and we cannot escape, unfortunately, but they remain at all times the best times, we must bring ourselves to confront what our days offer, and have to offer.

    AN ABSTRACT OF! THE THESIS OF Annelise H. Moss for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Business Administration presented on April 23, 2014. Title: The Challenges Faced by !Entrepreneurs While Trying to Innovate Using Public Display of Music Rights. ! Abstract approved: ___________________________________________________ Michelle Barnhart ! This study outlines the challenges an entrepreneur faces when trying to innovate using public display of music rights. Public display of music rights are the licenses an individual or business needs to play music for a group of people larger than your immediate family either inside your home or in public. As an aspiring entrepreneur myself, I attempted to take a product to market using public display of music rights and encountered significant challenges. Through my startup journey I documented my team’s struggles. Then I compared our struggles with those of others who have attempted to innovate in the music industry using public display of music rights. I found four significant challenges. The challenges include: the lack of a streamlined process for gaining public display of music rights, lack of education about what is allowed by rights holders which has encouraged businesses to use streaming services illegally, the need for an extremely large amount of capital to gain public display of music rights, and ethical !issues regarding how far an entrepreneur is willing go to take a product. ! ! ! ! ! !
