DJ Kool Herc is the person, America is the society, Hip Hop is the culture, the South Bronx in New York City is the environment, and 1973 is the time. Hip Hop you don’t stop, from the birth place to the tip top, from the ghetto to the world non stop, oh yeah! Bboys and Girls gonna get down, way before Netflix was in your town, from rags to riches putting rappers in pictures, we’ve come so far femcees aint bitches, from Queen Latifah to the one Jean Grae, now Jay Z’s Mum has come out gay, times have changed from way back in the day, when we said “Old School” the records they played were The Trecherous Three and The Furious Five, now Melle Mel’s on TV trying to survive “Don’t push me ‘cause I’m close to the edge….” of being that guy that raps in a TV car commercial. True story. That car commercial on TV with a guy rapping “Don’t push me” is the original Melle Mel, one of the first MCs ever, the king of socio-political commentary with “The Message” being his masterpiece as one member of Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PobrSpMwKk4 Salt’n’Pepa are in another accompanying TV ad singing their song “Push It” – no irony there yeah? I watched a Holden car ad with a young white boy top rocking in the great outdoors and since I’m a new father I couldn’t help but love the toilet paper TV ad with a computer animated baby busting out some Bboy moves in the clouds to sell, wait for it……toilet paper. Hip Hop You Don’t Stop! But before we get carried away, a couple of basic questions; what is Hip Hop, who invented it and where does it come from? Discussions about Hip Hop often end up focussing on mainstream recording artists as if they are the be all and end all of the culture, but we need to be aware that this is a reflection more of recording labels and their marketing departments than the full breadth of the culture. It’s a limited scope and shows a small amount of knowledge when people frame these discussions around what I would define as Hip Pop. To be clear, they think that Hip Hop is rapping, that it’s MCs, that it’s just a form of music – it’s not. Hip Hop is a cultural form that started in the South Bronx in New York City in the early 70s, that has four elements; 1. MCing (or rapping) 2. DJing 3. Bboying or Bgirling Disclosure with KRS One (breakdancing) and, https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9483Y5L5nG0/maxresdefault 4. Graffiti. Some would argue that the fifth element is the vocal percussion form known as Beat boxing, others such as KRS One https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppR7s19c1RY would argue that other elements include philosophy, street entrepreneurship and fashion, but you get the idea, Hip Hop is not just rapping, it’s a multipronged urban cultural form. The inventor of Hip Hop is universally acknowledged to be DJ Kool Herc, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhisX4mVoDI a Jamaican DJ who travelled to New York with his mother on her search for a better life. He pulled from the dub and reggae scene of Jamaica to transplant the idea of two turntables and a sound system as a way to share music and also “battle” with other DJs or crews in a musical form. One of the first names for Hip Hop was “Punk, Rock, Disco”, because there was no actual word to describe what was happening as all these different cultures, people, fashions and ideas started to meld themselves together in the South Bronx in the early 70s. It was the birth of a global – even interplanetary – form of funk music. A new form of movement such a Bboying pulled from elements of gymnastics, mime, Kung Fu movies and Puerto Rican folk dances. Hip Hop invented DJ culture as we know it, chopping, mixing and sampling from German electronic groups like Kraftwerk to Aussie rock like AC/DC, from James Brown’s drum breaks to disco bass lines. The MCs channelled the call and response of the gospel church, the fiery invocations of the preacher, the poet and the boxer to cajole, entice, enrage and excite the crowd. Graffiti artists turned the New York train system into a moving museum of aerosol art on wheels. One thing that all these forms had in common was the unique attitude of making an object do something that it wasn’t supposed to. For example, an aerosol can wasn’t designed to do huge colourful works of art, so the graffiti artists made their own nozzles so that the paint flow could be better controlled and directed. Record turntables weren’t designed to spin backwards, records themselves weren’t designed to be “scratched” and there was no machine that allowed DJs to listen to one record in their headphones while the other one played through the speakers – that is, until DJ Grandmaster Flash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA-OpvH4CIQ invented it. An MC on the mike could hype the crowd at a basketball court in a housing project and turn the location into a party place, a party for the whole block, a “Block Party”. Back when I started Bboying in North Sydney in 1984 there were no “Hip Hop” clothing labels, no “Hip Hop” friendly electronics companies, no local “Hip Hop” record labels; if you wanted to be a “Hip Hopper” you had to make it yourself. Hip Hop, like Punk music, was a DIY culture, a participatory culture. I went to the chemist and bought some white gloves for my mime inspired popping moves, I went to Paddy’s markets to buy a local fashion label called “Odyssey” that made baggy pants that local Bboys dug because they were good to dance in. I went to a Hobbyco store in Crows Nest to buy paint and glue to stick coffee jar lids and lego tyres onto my stereo to make my own “ghetto blaster” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=- DeTR8n7eTU We practiced our Bboying in a car park next to North Sydney train station, learning off each other in a time before the internet. We went to hardware stores to buy rolls of linoleum – we called it “lino” – to dance on when we were busking down at Circular Quay. From the periphery of mainstream society Hip Hop has quickly moved to the centre of the production of consumer culture. Will Smith started out as an MC, as did other Hollywood actors Queen Latifah, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube. Ice Cube was in N.W.A. the group famous for their song “F--- the Police” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7-TTWgiYL4 I can remember Triple J playing the song, then some politicians said they shouldn’t be playing it, that it should be banned, so they played it on repeat for 24hrs. Now Ice Cube makes kids movies like “Are We There Yet?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFvco0kn7bw Red Bull spends thousands on the international Red Bull BC One Bboy championships https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9oEzPGZiTE692KucAsTY1g Apple paid millions for Dr Dre’s headphone brand Beats, Missy Elliot plays for halftime entertainment at The Superbowl, Obama publicly states that he likes Jay Z’s album “The Blueprint” and Jay Z starts his own streaming service, Tidal, while Kanye West….well, let’s just leave it there.

  • 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).

  • DJ Skills the Rise of the Hip-Hop DJ 3
    The Rise of the Hip-Hop DJ 1 74 The Rise of The Hip-hop DJ DJs were Hip-hop’s original architects, and remain crucial to its contin- ued development. Hip-hop is more than a style of music; it’s a culture. As with any culture, there are various artistic expressions of Hip-hop, the four principal expressions being: • visual art (graffiti) • dance (breaking, rocking, locking, and popping, collectively known in the media as “break dancing”) • literature (rap lyrics and slam poetry) • music (DJing and turntablism) Unlike the European Renaissance or the Ming Dynasty, Hip-hop is a culture that is very much alive and still evolving. Some argue that Hip-hop is the most influential cultural movement in history, point- ing to the globalization of Hip-hop music, fashion, and other forms of expression. Style has always been at the forefront of Hip-hop. Improvisation is called free styling, whether in rap, turntablism, breaking, or graf- fiti writing. Since everyone is using the essentially same tools (spray paint for graffiti writers, microphones for rappers and beat boxers, their bodies for dancers, and two turntables with a mixer for DJs), it’s the artists’ personal styles that set them apart. It’s no coincidence that two of the most authentic movies about the genesis of the move- ment are titled Wild Style and Style Wars. There are also many styles of writing the word “Hip-hop.” The mainstream media most often oscillates between “hip-hop” and “hip hop.” The Hiphop Archive at Harvard writes “Hiphop” as one word, 2 DJ Skills The Rise of the Hip-Hop DJ 3 with a capital H, embracing KRS-ONE’s line of reasoning that “Hiphop Kool DJ Herc is a culture with its own foundation narrative, history, natives, and 7 In 1955 in Jamaica, a young woman from the parish of Saint Mary mission.” After a great deal of input from many people in the Hip-hop community, I’ve decided to capitalize the word but keep the hyphen, gave birth to a son who would become the father of Hip-hop.

  • Audience Affect, Interactivity, and Genre in the Age of Streaming TV
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 Navigating the Nebula: Audience affect, interactivity, and genre in the age of streaming TV James M. Elrod, University of Michigan, USA Abstract: Streaming technologies continue to shift audience viewing practices. However, aside from addressing how these developments allow for more complex serialized streaming television, not much work has approached concerns of specific genres that fall under the field of digital streaming. How do emergent and encouraged modes of viewing across various SVOD platforms re-shape how audiences affectively experience and interact with genre and generic texts? What happens to collective audience discourses as the majority of viewers’ situated consumption of new serial content becomes increasingly accelerated, adaptable, and individualized? Given the range and diversity of genres and fandoms, which often intersect and overlap despite their current fragmentation across geographies, platforms, and lines of access, why might it be pertinent to reconfigure genre itself as a site or node of affective experience and interactive, collective production? Finally, as studies of streaming television advance within the industry and academia, how might we ponder on a genre-by- genre basis, fandoms’ potential need for time and space to collectively process and interact affectively with generic serial texts – in other words, to consider genres and generic texts themselves as key mediative sites between the contexts of production and those of fans’ interactivity and communal, affective pleasure? This article draws together threads of commentary from the industry, scholars, and culture writers about SVOD platforms, emergent viewing practices, speculative genres, and fandoms to argue for the centrality of genre in interventions into audience studies.

  • The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
    The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

  • “Rapper's Delight”
    1 “Rapper’s Delight” From Genre-less to New Genre I was approached in ’77. A gentleman walked up to me and said, “We can put what you’re doing on a record.” I would have to admit that I was blind. I didn’t think that somebody else would want to hear a record re-recorded onto another record with talking on it. I didn’t think it would reach the masses like that. I didn’t see it. I knew of all the crews that had any sort of juice and power, or that was drawing crowds. So here it is two years later and I hear, “To the hip-hop, to the bang to the boogie,” and it’s not Bam, Herc, Breakout, AJ. Who is this?1 DJ Grandmaster Flash I did not think it was conceivable that there would be such thing as a hip-hop record. I could not see it. I’m like, record? Fuck, how you gon’ put hip-hop onto a record? ’Cause it was a whole gig, you know? How you gon’ put three hours on a record? Bam! They made “Rapper’s Delight.” And the ironic twist is not how long that record was, but how short it was. I’m thinking, “Man, they cut that shit down to fifteen minutes?” It was a miracle.2 MC Chuck D [“Rapper’s Delight”] is a disco record with rapping on it. So we could do that. We were trying to make a buck.3 Richard Taninbaum (percussion) As early as May of 1979, Billboard magazine noted the growing popularity of “rapping DJs” performing live for clubgoers at New York City’s black discos.4 But it was not until September of the same year that the trend gar- nered widespread attention, with the release of the Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” a fifteen-minute track powered by humorous party rhymes and a relentlessly funky bass line that took the country by storm and introduced a national audience to rap.
