    HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Maxwell Lewis Williams August 2020 © 2020 Maxwell Lewis Williams HIPNESS, HYBRIDITY, AND “NEO-BOHEMIAN” HIP-HOP: RETHINKING EXISTENCE IN THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Maxwell Lewis Williams Cornell University 2020 This dissertation theorizes a contemporary hip-hop genre that I call “neo-bohemian,” typified by rapper Kendrick Lamar and his collective, Black Hippy. I argue that, by reclaiming the origins of hipness as a set of hybridizing Black cultural responses to the experience of modernity, neo- bohemian rappers imagine and live out liberating ways of being beyond the West’s objectification and dehumanization of Blackness. In turn, I situate neo-bohemian hip-hop within a history of Black musical expression in the United States, Senegal, Mali, and South Africa to locate an “aesthetics of existence” in the African diaspora. By centering this aesthetics as a unifying component of these musical practices, I challenge top-down models of essential diasporic interconnection. Instead, I present diaspora as emerging primarily through comparable responses to experiences of paradigmatic racial violence, through which to imagine radical alternatives to our anti-Black global society. Overall, by rethinking the heuristic value of hipness as a musical and lived Black aesthetic, the project develops an innovative method for connecting the aesthetic and the social in music studies and Black studies, while offering original historical and musicological insights into Black metaphysics and studies of the African diaspora.

  • Elizabeth Campbell Johannah Fisher
    Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington High School February 2017 Edition By: Elizabeth Campbell What is love? As Valentine’s Day rolls around, I ask myself this question. To me, love is a feeling you get when you find someone you would do anything for. It’s when you would do anything to protect that per- son, and care for them no matter what obstacles you face. Love is unconditional and has no limits. Love never ends; it only grows stronger. I’ve been lucky enough to experience love, and it is the best feeling. Love is a feeling that is hard to come by, but once you find it, you are changed forever. I found love about one year and six months ago. My boyfriend’s name is Timothy, and he is my best friend. He has helped me understand what love truly is. We care about each other, and we put each other first. When you are in a relationship, you have to consider how your actions affect the other person. We enjoy our time together be- cause every minute is precious. Relationships aren’t perfect, but if it’s love, you work for it. Not everything is perfect though. Some- times there are arguments, but they never come to the point where we question our love for one another. Our love is unconditional. We don’t isolate ourselves from the world like some couples do. We enjoy our time with each other, but we make time for our friends as well. We have the best times together; we’re con- stantly laughing and joking around with each other.

  • The Evolution of Masculinity and Mental Health Narratives in Rap Music
    Man Down: The Evolution of Masculinity and Mental Health Narratives in Rap Music Rachel Hart,[1] Department of English, University of Bristol Abstract This article explores how one of the most typically hyper-masculine cultural arenas in Britain and America has evolved over the past 30 years, as rap artists decide to reject the stoicism of toxic masculinity in favour of promoting healthier conversations surrounding men’s mental health and associated coping mechanisms. Though rap has always been vocal about mental distress, its dominant narratives have evolved over the past 30 years to talk more specifically and positively about mental health issues. Over time rap has begun promoting therapy, medication, self-care and treatment, rather than self-medication via drugs and alcohol, or violence against the self or others. This is symbiotically informing and being informed by society’s changing ideas about masculinity and the construct of gender. In order to explore the evolution in discussions around men’s mental health from the 1990s to the present day, this article is split into three sections, each focusing on a different decade. I closely analyse the lyrics of one rap song in each chapter, which has been selected to represent rap’s general trends regarding discussions of mental health from that decade. I also briefly explore other songs that prove the decade’s trends. This article draws upon academic research as well as personal interviews undertaken with Solomon OB (2016’s National Poetry Slam champion), and Elias Williams, founder of MANDEM.com (an online media platform engaging with social issues and shining a light on young men of colour).

From The Ground Up: Cultural and Musical Implications of Live­Instrumental Hip­Hop A thesis submitted by Jonah Ullman In fulfillment of the requirements for College Honors UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT College of Arts and Sciences May, 2016 ADVISER: Alex Stewart ii ABSTRACT Traditional live instruments have played an important role in hip­hop production in various capacities since the earliest stages of the genre’s development. The dominant historical narrative often omits the frequency with which live instruments have been used in hip­hop. The authenticity of their use has been a point of contention in the discourse of hip­hop producers, consumers, critics and scholars. When used in accordance with hip­hop’s aesthetic sensibilities, however, they become a vehicle for innovative and authentic hip­hop. Tasteful use of live instruments opens up a range of possibilities in the realms of arrangement techniques and compositional freedom.

Promise That You Will Sing About Me: Kendrick Lamar and Posterity Sometimes it would seem that the quietest moments turn out to have the loudest repercussions. This would certainly seem to be a consistent case for twenty eight-year old Kendrick Lamar, whose career has been defined by surprise and unannounced publications of music that shortly afterward are spun wildly into massively respected works of art. With an album that no one anticipated going to the 2013 Grammy awards, an album that leaked a week ahead of schedule (and brought Kendrick 5 Grammys), and an album that was released with almost no warning whatsoever, Kendrick Lamar Duckworth makes headlines with his art; of this there is no doubt. The question, however, as posed by Kendrick himself, is this: “And I hope that at least one of you sing about me when I’m gone; Am I worth it? Did I put enough work in?”1 I would like to argue that Kendrick Lamar belongs in music history textbooks of the future because of his performance abilities, intellectual and lyrical content (particularly relative to his peers), musical push within the rap genre, and his position with critics and fans alike.

  • Towards an African-American Genealogy of Market and Religion in Rap Music
    POPULAR MUSIC AND SOCIETY, 2018 https://doi.org/10.1080/03007766.2018.1458275 Towards an African-American Genealogy of Market and Religion in Rap Music Kevin Pyon The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, USA ABSTRACT This essay provides a new reading of the intersections between religion and rap music in its genealogical consideration of how black laborers’ orientations to the market—from the antebellum slave market to the contemporary music industry—have informed their consequent commodifications of race and religion. The essay (1) traces the informal economy and sacred world of the slaves to the twinned births of the modern black prosperity gospel and hip-hop culture and (2) connects the religio-economic modalities of postbellum peddling and celebrity preachers to contemporary black prosperity preachers and hip-hop moguls. Finally, this essay concludes that the commodified formulations of race and religion in rap music represent transformations of spiritual and market categories of “authenticity” and “freedom” which have structured and sometimes limited our understandings of distinct articulations of race, religion, and the market throughout African-American history. Articulations of Race, Religion, and the Market This essay situates hip-hop music within a lineage of black laborers who have both nego- tiated with and disrupted the market’s commodification of them through various means: the medium of the market itself, their religious belief and practices, and—oftentimes—a paradoxical combination of both.1 It argues that the
