All rights reserved. Getting Hip to the Hop: A Rap Bibliography/Discography Leta Hendricks ABSTRACT. This bibliographic/discographic essay examines works which may be used to develop a core collection on Rap music. A selected bibliography and discography is also provided. INTRODUCTION Research interest has recently emerged in the popular African-American musical idiom known as Rap and continues to grow as social and cultural scholars have embarked on a serious study of Rap music and culture. Therefore, the student, scholar, and general library patron may seek information on Rap and its relationship with the African-American community. During the 1970's, libraries rushed to include in their holdings culturally diverse materials, especially materials on African-American history, literature, and culture. Today, emphasis is placed on cultural diversity, Rap is sometimes deemed to be low art and may be overlooked in the collecting of diverse materials. However, Rap has already celebrated its sixteenth anniversary and, like Rock and Roll, Rap is here to stay. Rap music research is difficult because (1) the librarian or information provider generally lacks knowledge of the category,' and (2) primary/ephemeral materials are not widely accessible.2 This selective bibliographic and discographic essay examines a variety of Rap resources and materials including biographies, criticisms, discographies, histories, recordings, and serials to help fill the Rap knowledge and culture gap and assist in the development of a core collection on Rap music.

  • 1 (Pro-) Socially Conscious Hip
    (Pro-) Socially conscious hip hop: Empathy and attitude, prosocial effects of hip hop Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Todd Cameron Haery Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2020 Thesis Committee: Dr. Osei Appiah, Advisor Dr. Lanier Holt 1 Copyrighted by Todd Cameron Haery 2020 2 Abstract The scope of this thesis addresses the widening cultural, racial, and social divide in the U.S. today and the potential in which hip hop music can serve as a remedy to these social divides. It has been said that race relations are at a 20-year low, hate crimes against gays (and the LGBT community) are prevalent, and attitudes towards the homeless seem to be in perpetual decline (Dann, 2017). Here I discuss the current social disharmony between the dominant in-group and socially stigmatized outgroups while exploring potential remedies for such intergroup discord. One such potential remedy in particular is socially conscious hip hop. Being that hip hop music’s origins are rooted in providing a platform and a voice for marginalized members of society who otherwise would go unheard, this form of entertainment media may possess unique and novel capacity to affect prosocial outcomes. By re-conceptualizing the nature of hip hop culture, highlighting the significance of understanding its complex history, and emphasizing the socio-political forces driving rap music’s foundation, several potential pro-social impacts—commonly understated within literature concerning the effects of consuming rap music—begin to surface.

  • Lumumba in the Hood
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography Gert HUSKENS and Idesbald GODDEERIS Lumumba in the Hood The Legacy of Patrice Lumumba in Rap Music since 1990 April, 2019 “I got the blood of Lumumba in every cell, no hyperbole brother my daddy will tell. About Central Intelligence, killing our relatives like we Max Payne. They quell our rebellions and send us to heaven just like a match made. It’s the exact same. Some have the scars on they backs and some in their last name.” - Sammus [Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo]. 2016. “Back Stabbers”. As shown by the above lyrics of the American-born Ivorian-Congolese rapper Sammus, a family member of Lumumba on her paternal side, Lumumba is still present in rap music. In this particular case, Sammus used the story of her ancestor in a well-thought-out way to give a glimpse at both history and the process of constructing her personal multi-layered identity. Sammus is far from the only rapper who uses Lumumba in his or her lyrics. Ever since Lumumba’s death, artists across the globe have named songs after or dedicated lyrics to the first prime minister of Congo. An exploratory search for ‘Lumumba’ on YouTube leads to an extremely heterogeneous repertoire of songs with even more surprising backgrounds. The Soviet composer Dmitry Pokrass wrote “Песня о Лумумбе” (“Song about Lumumba”, 1961) in the context of the Cold War, during the alignment of the country with the Congo and the opening of a Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow.
