Charlamagne hosted the MTV2 show ‘Uncommon Sense’ in 2015, and helped revolutionize the television industry since then through the first live therapy session on ‘In Session Live with Dr. Jess’ on VH1.

Black Female Masculinity in Hip-Hop Culture
“Thank God for Hip-hop”: Black Female Masculinity in Hip-hop Culture THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Saidah K. Isoke Graduate Program in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies The Ohio State University 2017 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Treva Lindsey, Advisor Dr. Mary Thomas Copyrighted by Saidah Kamaria Oni Isoke 2017 iii Abstract “Thank God for Hip-hop” explores the racial, gendered, and sexual relations in hip-hop culture. To do this, this project centers Black tomboys and masculine-presenting lesbians (MPL). I differentiate between MPLs and tomboys based on the extent to which people within each identity centers masculinity. Masculine-presenting lesbian is understood as a strong masculine presentation of gender by lesbian-identified women. Tomboy, on the other hand, is understood as a hybrid space between femininity and masculinity and sexual orientation varies. This project challenges perceptions of hip-hop as an exclusively male, misogynist, homophobic and transphobic genre and culture. Black tomboys and MPLs represent queer potentials in hip-hop. What can we discover about racial, gendered and sexual relations within the culture? How is gender and sexuality negotiated by Black women who are tomboys or masculine-presenting lesbians? Gwendolyn Pough’s “bringing wreck” theory is centered in my analysis on how Black women disrupt gender and sexual politics in hip-hop. Utilizing hip-hop feminism, gender and queer theory, and queer of color critique strengthens my figuration of hip-hop queerness by opening the culture up to the margins of the margins.

Macklemore, Iggy Azalea, and Contested Authenticity Within the Hip-Hop Discourse Community
MACKLEMORE, IGGY AZALEA, AND CONTESTED AUTHENTICITY WITHIN THE HIP-HOP DISCOURSE COMMUNITY by Olivia Rines A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Charlotte 2015 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Elizabeth Miller ______________________________ Dr. Pilar Blitvich ______________________________ Dr. Janaka Lewis ii ©2015 Olivia Rines ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT OLIVIA RINES. Macklemore, Iggy Azalea, and contested authenticity within the hip- hop discourse community. (Under the direction of DR. ELIZABETH MILLER) Authenticity within the hip-hop community has been a topic of conversation amongst researchers for a number of years. The hip-hop movement started in the 1970’s and has steadily grown over the years into a worldwide phenomenon. Although the success of hip-hop is regarded by the majority of the hip-hop community as positive, it has also caused significant issues in terms of (mis)representation and (in)authenticity. One aspect of authenticity that has been foregrounded is race. Can a white hip-hop artist be considered authentic in the hip-hop discourse community? To examine this question, this paper will explore the authenticity of white hip-hop artists Macklemore and Iggy Azalea. In order to explore how their authenticity has been both constructed and challenged by the hip-hop discourse community, authenticity will be considered in two, overlapping forms: authenticity in terms of the linguistic community and authenticity in terms of the hip-hop community. Through an examination of the artists’ lyrics, commentary in response to their music videos, and interviews with the artists, I will analyze how Macklemore and Azalea have attempted to construct themselves as authentic hip-hop artists and how others have contested their identity.
