  • 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.

  • Senate Companion
    In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War. GrayRobinson's newsletter reports on the most recent issues, individuals, and discourse deemed fairest in Washington. November 15, 2019 House approves Ex-Im Bank reform, reauthorization The House of Representatives voted today to revamp the Export-Import Bank and extend its operating authority for ten years. H.R. 4863, the United States Export Finance Agency Act of 2019, would rename the Export-Import Bank the US Export Finance Agency, would block any support to Chinese military or intelligence services, and make it easier for the agency to respond to predatory export financing by China. The bill passed roughly along party lines, 235-184, and President Trump has said he will veto it if it reaches his desk. It has no Senate companion. House Financial Services Committee approves bills on debt collection, fair lending The House Committee on Financial Services spent much of this week marking up legislation, and approved eight bills for floor action. The Committee voted unanimously to pass H.R. 5003, which gives service members additional protections from threats by debt collectors; H.R. 4403, which extends Fair Debt Collection protections to debts owed to federal agencies and clarifies its application to debt buyers; and H.R. 2398, which would expand eligibility for the HUD-VASH program. Members voted along party lines on H.R. 5021, which would limit debt collectors’ ability to email or text consumers; H.R. 5013, which would extend Fair Debt Collection protections to small business loans; H.R.

  • 3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (Guest Post)*
    “3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (guest post)* De La Soul For hip-hop, the late 1980’s was a tinderbox of possibility. The music had already raised its voice over tensions stemming from the “crack epidemic,” from Reagan-era politics, and an inner city community hit hard by failing policies of policing and an underfunded education system--a general energy rife with tension and desperation. From coast to coast, groundbreaking albums from Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” to N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton” were expressing an unprecedented line of fire into American musical and political norms. The line was drawn and now the stage was set for an unparalleled time of creativity, righteousness and possibility in hip-hop. Enter De La Soul. De La Soul didn’t just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in. If the preceding generation took hip-hop from the park jams and revolutionary commentary to lay the foundation of a burgeoning hip-hop music industry, De La Soul was going to take that foundation and flip it. The kids on the outside who were a little different, dressed different and had a sense of humor and experimentation for days. In 1987, a trio from Long Island, NY--Kelvin “Posdnous” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Plug Three” Mason—were classmates at Amityville Memorial High in the “black belt” enclave of Long Island were dusting off their parents’ record collections and digging into the possibilities of rhyming over breaks like the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” all the while immersing themselves in the imperfections and dust-laden loops and interludes of early funk and soul albums.

Hefur hún beitt sér af hörku gegn auknum umsvifum alríkisins og fyrir ýmsum íhaldssömum gildum. Hreyfingin hefur ekki viljað stofna sérstakan stjórnmálaflokk og kljúfa þar með fylgi hægrimanna í Bandaríkjunum í tvennt, heldur kosið að starfa sem einskonar þrýstihópur innan Repúblikanaflokksins. Markmið þessarar ritgerðar er að athuga hvort að greina megi orðræðu í anda Teboðshreyfingarinnar í orðræðu á meðal frambjóðenda Repúblikanaflokksins og ef svo er, að hvaða leyti. Gerð verður grein fyrir þeim pólitíska jarðvegi sem hreyfingin spratt upp úr og hún í framhaldinu skilgreind og staðsett innan bandarískra stjórnmála. Einblínt er á að skoða orðræðu tengda félagslegum álitamálum eins og fóstureyðingum og hjónaböndum samkynhneigðra sem og orðræðu tengdri hinu umdeilda heilbrigðisfrumvarpi Barack Obama. Ummæli áberandi talsmanna Teboðshreyfingarinnar um þessi mál, þeirra Söruh Palin, Michele Bachmann og Ron Paul eru skoðuð og borin saman við ummæli forsetaframbjóðandans Mitt Romney. Komist er að þeirri niðurstöðu að greina megi orðræðu í anda Teboðshreyfingarinnar á meðal frambjóðenda Repúblikanaflokksins. Þó svo að slík orðræða sé ekkert nýnæmi á meðal repúblikana virðist tilkoma hreyfingarinnar hafa magnað mikilvægi þessara mála í aðdraganda kosninganna og kynt undir aukinni íhaldssemi innan flokksins.
