Suicide in the Music Industry By: Carlee Ayers On January 7, 2019, rapper Elizabeth Eden Harris, who goes by the name of CupcakKe, made a post that shocked many. She wrote,“I am about to commit suicide” on her Instagram page. She reposted this on Twitter and added, “Thank you for everything y’all have done for me I really appreciate it.” Many people were shocked by her post and immediately tried to ask her if she was ok. Many celebrities and people from the Youtube community such as Shane Dawson and Charlie XCX have shown her support and attempted to reach out. While love was being spread to the rapper, there was also a group of people encouraging her to commit suicide and accusing her of faking suicide in order to promote her music. Twitter user Chewiechae posted, “Am I the one faking suicide and triggering thousands so people can buy my music? No” after getting called out for all of her harsh words. CupcakKe’s tweet impacted many people and fans all around the world. A lot of people struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts and when they see someone they know and support struggling as well, they will do what they can to reach out and show them love. Some people made the Suicide Hotline available to CupcakKe and anyone else who needed it. Most people were very shocked and scared about what she posted on her social media. There were little to no updates on the rapper’s condition for hours, so nobody actually knew if she was all right and that scared most of her supporters even more. I asked Adrian Lago their thoughts on CupcakKe’s post and they said, “It made me sad and it concerned me. Even though I don’t know her personally, it still made me feel sad that anyone would feel that way and I hope she gets better soon.” A Youtuber and friend of CupcakKe named Elijah Daniel began texting her team, mother and mutual friends. He got a hold of the Chicago PD, who did a wellness check on the rapper and took her to the hospital. Elijah was one of the first people to give any updates on the rapper’s condition after her post was made stating that she was in the hospital and receiving help. CupcakKe later posted an apology to all of her fans on social media stating, “I’ve been fighting with depression for the longest... sorry that I did it public last night but I’m ok. I went to the hospital & im finally getting the help that I need to get through, be happy, & deliver great music. thanks for all the prayers but please don’t worry bout me.” This of course was a huge relief for her fans who are continuing to show her support through her journey towards recovery. .

Junglepussy One Tweet at a Time
BY AMBER ALSTON Photographer: Micaiah Carter, Stylist: Mel’Renee, MUA: Jaleesa Jaikaran, Hair: Sergio Estrada Fashion Assistants: Charles Barbary + Annette Voll Junglepussy is challenging assumptions about black women in music using 140 characters or less. Tall and graceful, Junglepussy seemed at home as she posed in a pink afro and designer threads on set. Though quiet, the 27-year old rapper, who has been vocal about her struggles with imposter syn- drome and self-image, maintained a confident reserve. The follow- ing day, she posted a photo to Instagram: a tight shot of her sheer Calvin Klein panties stuffed with loose scraps of pink curls that she nabbed from the hair team. She is, at all times, harmonizing con- scious poise and outlandish humor. “I used to think one day I would run out of jokes and feared what would happen if I wasn’t funny any- more,” she tells me candidly on the phone a few days prior to her shoot. “Somehow, all these years later, people are still entertained.” Six years after releasing her first jab-heavy tracks on Youtube, the Brooklyn-born artist has no shortage of jokes. Her most re- cent album, JP3 delivers a self-actualized response to her first two projects—2014’s Satisfaction Guaranteed and 2015’s Pregnant with Success. The album is awash with social commentary, but her most urgent messages are sandwiched between gut-busting lyrics. “Stank attitude, bad allergies, might embarrass you; Make your granny see me at your barbecue; Pop a Plan B, stop the family, your father not cute,” she rhymes, on the topic of contraceptive options in the grocery store inspired tune “Trader Joe’s.” Across the album’s sultry, grind-wor- thy tracks, Junglepussy explores systematic racism, gender dynamics and intimacy with a quick-witted cool.

Hip-Hop Librarianship for Scholarly Communication: An Approach to Introducing Topics Arthur Boston Murray State University Abstract: Hip-Hop music, business, distribution, and culture exhibit highly-comparable trends in the scholarly communication and publication industry. This article discusses Hip-Hop artists and research authors as content creators, each operating within marketplaces still adjusting to digital, online connectivity. These discussions are intended for classroom use, where students may access their existing knowledge framework of popular media and apply it to a new understanding of the scholarly communication environment. Research instructors and librarians may discover new perspectives to familiar issues through conversations with students engaging with this material in a novel way. Keywords: bibliometrics, data, fair use, grey literature, hip-hop, impact factor, institutional repositories, open access, piracy, preprints, scholarly communication This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Journal of New Librarianship, 4 (2019) pp. 1-62 10.21173/newlibs/6/1 About This Article The inspiration for this article originally came from an intellectual property (IP) course the author taught in the Spring of 2017. IP from a wide range of industries was covered in the curriculum, with special interest in how the nature of these have been changing during the Information Age. The section taught on scholarly publishing posed particular difficulty because the scholarly communication librarian teaching the course was new to the position, and the students were unfamiliar with the subject.
