  • Hip Hop, Memes, and the Internet
    BY ALL MEMES NECESSARY: HIP HOP, MEMES, AND THE INTERNET MAX TRETTER FRIEDRICH-ALEXANDER-UNIVERSITY ERLANGEN-NUREMBERG INTRODUCTION: HIP HOP ON THE INTERNET The internet influences hip hop in various ways. First and foremost, the internet is a medium that opens up a new space and stage in which hip hop can be performed. This stage is no longer local, but global, which represents both opportunity and challenge. On the one hand, each hip hop artist must assert themselves against countless compet- itors from all over the world; on the other hand, their breakthrough online, if it suc- ceeds, can be monumental in comparison to an analog breakthrough, which is usually confined to a limited area. Therefore, for hip hop artists it is increasingly important to attract attention – as only those who get the attention succeed in this new medium (Prior 2018, Jenkins et al. 2013). The internet’s central influence on hip hop is the inten- sification of the battle for attention – which results in hip hop artists trying new ap- proaches and strategies to gain that attention. One of them is producing their content with an eye to making it as meme-able as possible and capitalizing on meme dynamics on the internet. In this study, I approach memes as a concept, following the definition of Dawkins (2006) who originally defined the concept of memes in his work The Selfish Gene. Memes are small units of information that are usually very simple and catchy (ges- tures, styles, melodies, or phrases). They are transmitted from person to person by imitation or adaption, replicate and spread very quickly, and contribute to the dissem- ination and formation of common behaviors and cultures (Dawkins 2006).

    FLIPP DINERO RELEASES DEBUT PROJECT LOVE FOR GUALA TODAY PREMIERES “WESTSIDE” MUSIC VIDEO WATCH HERE! (November 22, 2019 – Los Angeles, CA) – After building anticipation with one banger after another, multiplatinum Brooklyn phenomenon Flipp Dinero officially unleashes his brand new project, Love For Guala, today. Get it HERE via We The Best Music Group/Cinematic Music Group/Epic Records. By carefully assembling a bold body of work, he set the stage to make a statement. Among the stacked tracklisting, “If I Tell You” has already surpassed 10.6 million Spotify streams, while the recent single “How I Move” [feat. Lil Baby] nears 1 million Spotify streams. Not to mention, it incited enthusiastic critical applause within a week since dropping. About“How I Move,” Billboard wrote, “Led by Dinero’s entrancing melodies, the hard- hitting anthem finds Dinero and Baby seeking respect on what is likely to be another chart hit,” andVibe dubbed it, “a hustling anthem.” To celebrate the release, Flipp also uncovered the music video for “Westside.” Revved-up with airtight verses and a hypnotic hook, he and his crew run the streets on four-wheelers before pulling up to a chop shop—manned by gorgeous mechanics—in a sleek yellow sports car with butterfly doors wide open. All manner of action ensues! Guala doubles as an acronym for “God’s Unique Accolade Life Acquired.” Throughout these thirteen tracks, Flipp both levels up and ascends to a new plateau on his own terms. He goes bar-for-bar with fellow New Yorker Jay Critch on the catchy and crunchy “Fritolays.”Meanwhile, “Looking At Me” places him in lockstep alongside superstar Rich The Kid.

The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

  • 'And I Swear...' – Profanity in Pop Music Lyrics on the American Billboard Charts 2009-2018 and the Effect on Youtube Popularity
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 'And I Swear...' – Profanity In Pop Music Lyrics On The American Billboard Charts 2009-2018 And The Effect On Youtube Popularity Martin James Moloney, Hanifah Mutiara Sylva Abstract: The Billboard Chart tracks the sales and popularity of popular music in the United States of America. Due to the cross-cultural appeal of the music, the Billboard Chart is the de facto international chart. A concern among cultural commentators was the prevalence of swearing in songs by artists who were previously regarded as suitable content for the youth or ‗pop‘ market. The researchers studied songs on the Billboard Top 10 from 2009 to 2018 and checked each song for profanities. The study found that ‗pop‘, a sub-genre of ‗popular music‘ did contain profanities; the most profane genre, ‗Hip-hop/Rap‘ accounted for 76% of swearing over the ten-year period. A relationship between amount of profanity and YouTube popularity was moderately supported. The researchers recommended adapting a scale used by the British television regulator Ofcom to measure the gravity of swearing per song. Index Terms: Billboard charts, popularity, profanity, Soundcloud, swearing, YouTube. —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION Ipsos Mori [7] the regulator of British television said that profane language fell into two main categories: (a) general 1.1 The American Billboard Charts and ‘Hot 100’ swear words and those with clear links to body parts, sexual The Billboard Chart of popular music was first created in 1936 references, and offensive gestures; and (b) specifically to archive the details of sales of phonographic records in the discriminatory language, whether directed at older people, United States [1].

  • Kodak Black Deler Nytt Album Fullt Av Hits
    Kodak Black - Dying To Live artwork 17-12-2018 15:09 CET Kodak Black deler nytt album fullt av hits Forrige fredag slapp Kodak Black sitt andre studioalbum Dying To Livevia Atlantic. Dette er hans første fullengder siden R&B-prosjektet Heartbreak Kodak fra tidligere i år, og inkluderer den platina-sertifiserte hitsingelen «ZEZE (feat. Travis Scott & Offset)». Sistnevnte ble #1 på Billboard’s "Top R&B/Hip Hop" liste og hadde en tilhørende musikkvideo regissert av Travis Scott som har tiltrukket seg over 20 millioner visninger. Dying To Live inkluderer også låter som «Calling My Spirit», «Take One» produsert av Ben Billions, og «If I’m Lyin, I’m Flyin,», der videoen til sistnevnte har over 32 millioner visninger. Andre nøkkellåter er «Moshpit» feat. Juice WRLD, «Testimony» og «Gnarly» feat. Lil Pump, med en splitter ny musikkvideo som hadde premiere forrige uke. Man kommer heller ikke utenom samarbeidet mellom Kodak, Gucci Mane og Bruno Mars for en av årets deiligste låter "Wake Up In The Sky". Nok en gang viste musikkvideoen seg å bli en sensasjon, regissert av Bruno Mars selv, med over 68 millioner individuelle visninger per dags dato. Kodak Black, som kom med på både Rolling Stone og Complex sine lister over det beste fra 2017, i tillegg til Billboard sin «21 under 21» liste, sparket i gang 2018 med den offisielle videoen til hiten «Roll In Peace (feat.
