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.

  • Hip Hop Club Songs
    Hip Hop Club Songs Did you Know? The credit of coining the term 'Hip-Hop' lies with Keith 'Cowboy' Wiggins, a member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Around 1978, he used to tease his friend who was in the US Army by singing hip/hop/hip/hop. He was mimicking the cadence rhythm of the soldiers. Initially known as Disco Rap, hip-hop music is a stylized download mp3 rocket pro free 2010 rhythmic music form which contains rapping and beat boxing as its elements. This music developed as a part of the 'hip-hop culture' in New York, particularly among the African-Americans. Today, hip hop music has become extremely popular among the masses. With the commercialization of this genre of music, a new era of talent paved its path to give music a new feel and rhythm by using words in the interim as a form of expression. Artists like Snoop Dog, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Black- Eyed Peas have popularized this particular genre even further. Certain artists, who were known for performing other genres also started experimenting with rap and hip-hop. Couple of such examples would be Beyonce and none other than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Another factor that has added to hip-hop's popularity is that this music is ideal for nightclubs and dance floors.

  • Words and Guitar
    # 2021/24 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2021/24/words-and-guitar Ein Rückblick auf die Diskographie von Sleater-Kinney Words and Guitar Von Dierk Saathoff Vojin Saša Vukadinović Zehn Alben haben Sleater-Kinney in den 27 Jahren seit ihrer Gründung aufgenommen, von denen das zehnte, »Path of Wellness«, kürzlich erschienen ist. Ein Rückblick auf die Diskographie der wohl besten Band der Welt. »Sleater-Kinney« (LP: Villa Villakula, CD: Chainsaw Records, 1995) 1995 spielten die beiden Gitarristinnen Corin Tucker und Carrie Brownstein erst seit einem Jahr unter dem Namen Sleater-Kinney, waren nach Misty Farrell und Stephen O’Neil (The Cannanes) aber bereits bei der dritten Besetzung am Schlagzeug angelangt, der schottisch-australischen Indie-­Musikerin Lora MacFarlane. Nach einer frechen Single und Compilation-Tracks auf Tinuviel Sampsons feministischem Label Villa Villakula erschien dort das Vinyl vom Debütalbum, die CD-Version aber auf Donna Dreschs Queercore-Label Chainsaw. Selten klang Angst durchdringender als auf diesem derben wie dunklen Erstlingswerk, das mit zehn Liedern in weniger als 23 Minuten aufwartet. Corin Tucker kreischt sich die Seele aus dem Leib und Carrie Brownsteins Schreien auf »The Last Song« stellt mit Leichtigkeit ganze Karrieren mediokrer männlicher Hardcore-Bands in den Schatten. Mit Sicherheit nicht nur das unterschätzteste Album der Bandgeschichte, sondern des Punk in den neunziger Jahren überhaupt. »Call the Doctor« (Chainsaw Records, 1996) Album Nummer zwei zeigte eine enorme musikalische Weiterentwicklung. »Call the Doctor« ist das streckenweise intelligenteste Album von Sleater-Kinney, das sich einerseits vor der avancierten Musikszene im Nordwesten der USA verneigte, in der die Band entstanden war (Olympia, Washington), zugleich aber äußerst eigenständig vorwärtspreschte und bei allem Zorn auf die Ausprägungen misogyner Kultur Anflüge von Zärtlichkeit nicht scheute: Selten wurde Unsicherheit so ehrlich vorgetragen wie auf »Heart Attack«.

  • State University of New York at New Paltz Breaking Bad and the Intersection of Critical Theory at Race, Disability, and Gender
    Breaking Bad and the intersection of critical theory at race, disability, and gender Item Type Honor's Project Authors McDonough, Matthew Rights Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Download date 01/10/2021 02:24:17 Item License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12648/1578 State University of New York at New Paltz Breaking Bad and the Intersection of Critical Theory at Race, Disability, and Gender Matthew McDonough Independent Study Honors 495-06 Professor Sarah Wyman 8 December 2020 Thesis Abstract: The television series Breaking Bad (created by Vince Gilligan) is considered by audience and critics alike as one of the greatest television series ever made. It tells the story of the rise and fall of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a mild-mannered chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin. He turns to a life of crime after having been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he sees meth manufacturing as the most lucrative way to provide for his family. It has been nearly a decade since the series finale, yet it endures through sequel films, spin-offs, and online streaming. My thesis investigates the series’ staying power, and I would argue that lies in its thematic content. Breaking Bad is not just a straightforward story of one man’s descent into a life of crime, but it is also a mediation on dominant, repressive power structures. The series offers a look at these structures through the lens of race, gender, and disability through the actions of characters and their interactions with one another.

  • The Albums We're Looking Forward to in 2015
    The albums we’re looking forward to in 2015 CHRISTOPHER POLK/GETTY IMAGES Kendrick Lamar. GLOBE STAFF AND CORRESPONDENTS JANUARY 05, 2015 Sneak­attack releases might be the new normal for the biggest albums, but here are some major releases already scheduled for the first few months of 2015 — subject to change, naturally. KENDRICK LAMAR Title TBA The Los Angeles­based MC has the daunting task of following up his critically and commercially successful “good kid, m.A.A.d. city,” but if any artist is up to the challenge, it’s Lamar. The mercurial rapper has debuted two songs, the well­received, Isley Brothers sampling “i,” and a dazzling, determined untitled track he performed on “The Colbert Report.” Lamar is poised for a banner year; some reports claim his sophomore set could be imminent, possibly with a Beyoncé­like stealth launch. (Early 2015) KEN CAPOBIANCO JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE “Absent Fathers” CONTINUE READING BELOW ▼ A bookend to September’s “Single Mothers,” Earle’s latest is the other side of the coin. “Absent Fathers” completes a poignant song cycle about the messy nature of family dynamics. The country singer­songwriter knows plenty about the subject matter: His single mother mostly raised him while his father, alt­country renegade Steve Earle, struggled to kick drugs and get his life back on track. (The younger Earle would follow in Dad’s footsteps, too.) “Absent Fathers” was recorded in the same sessions for its predecessor, but Earle felt like he had made two separate albums. (Jan. 13) JAMES REED SLEATER­KINNEY “No Cities to Love” Ever since Sleater­Kinney went quiet in 2006, guitarist Carrie Brownstein’s comedy career has taken off in earnest thanks to “Portlandia.” But anyone counting on “No Cities to Love” to show nine years of accumulated dust hasn’t been paying attention: Brownstein and drummer Janet Weiss blew the doors off in 2011 with Wild Flag, and singer/guitarist Corin Tucker dropped the fiery “Kill My Blues” the next year.
