Before Mobb Deep jumped the couch, they could be depended on for gritty street tales accompanied by some trademarked dark-as-fuck theme music. After the balderdash that was Infamy , Havoc and Prodigy lost their grip on the audience, who had already moved on to other ventures, and the duo's sales suffered tremendously. The critical indifference to Infamy wasn't a benefit to them, either. The combination of these effects, plus the fact that their label, Loud Records, was about to fold like an origami moose, led to Mobb Deep being without a record deal for the first time since they were teenagers. Businessmen that they are, Havoc and Prodigy used their newfound free time to send out resumes to other labels, in the form of Free Agents: The Murda Mix Tape , which they also released to the public, thanks to a one-off distribution deal with Landspeed Records. Considering that only fifty copies seem to have been printed, the album sold out quickly, and is damn near impossible to find on store shelves today: however, since it is a mixtape, after all, everyone that missed out probably already bootlegged it anyway . At least one person that checked their mail on a regular basis was paying attention, though: Mobb Deep soon found themselves signing with Jive Records, home of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears (which, as you could probably tell, ended up being a huge mistake, but I'll get to that in a later post). Free Agents: The Murda Mix Tape is far to disjointed to qualify as an actual album, but contains all-new material, in an effort to appeal to the longtime fans that the Mobb still had. Initial pressings of the "album" also contained a second 19-track disc featuring artists that either were somehow affiliated with Mobb Deep (such as producer The Alchemist, Big Noyd, and weed carriers Infamous Mobb) or had done songs with them in the past (all of the other guests). According to Interweb legend, there was even a third disc included with some pressings that featured a bunch of remixes, but I've never heard anything about it until today, so I'll believe it to be bullshit unless someone proves otherwise in the comments. However, just because this isn't an "album" doesn't mean the critical red pen is put away. DISC ONE. 1. THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE POSITIVE. (INTRO) An old Ice-T interview is appropriated as the intro for the mixtape. It fits, but all I could think of was when Ice-T played a kangaroo in Tank Girl . 2. SOLIDIFIED Losing his record deal apparently hasn't caused Prodigy to think about studying his chosen craft, but he doesn't sound altogether terrible over this unorthodox Havoc beat. Speaking of Hav, he sounds pretty refreshed here; looks like someone did the summer reading like he was supposed to. 3. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST 2003 It's like these two guys listened to The Infamous one day and decided that rhyming over those beats was a good idea for their demo. Except, in this case, these two guys actually were the guys that originally made The Infamous , and completely missed its point . You can skip this one with no feelings of guilt. 4. PAID IN FULL Yeah, I was expecting Hav and P to spit over Eric B & Rakim's classic track, too, so I have to give them credit for having an original beat. P starts off promising, but his flow would only deteriorate more quickly if he were bitten by a zombie while in the booth. 5. DOUBLE SHOTS (FEAT BIG NOYD) I get that this "mixtape" album was intended to show prospective labels that Mobb Deep could still be relevant to today's audience, and could actually sell records if they wanted to, so radio-friendly tracks would obviously have to be part of the deal. Big Noyd doesn't really need to be on here, but otherwise, this song isn't completely horrible. It certainly isn't any good , but it's not horrible. 6. WHAT CAN I DO? Havoc does the best he can with this gimmicky track, and even manages to spit a hot line at the end of his verse: "They say an unoccupied mind is the devil's playground/so I wrote this [song] to kill time." Prodigy, however, fucks it up with some comically violent overkill. 7. FAVORITE RAPPER This song is pretty awful. Havoc and Prodigy have realized that they aren't anybody's favorite rapper at this point, so it makes sense that they would start threatening the folks that happen to be your favorite rappers. Still, awful. And more than a little bit desperate. 8. LET'S POP (FEAT DOG) Contains a piece of advice for guys that you would think is common sense, but whatever: "When you in the guts, be sure to hit the g-spot." Dog, the women of the world thank you. 9. IT'S OVER You know how a lot of people believe that black Michael Jackson was secretly replaced with white Michael Jackson, and that happened around the time when the drop in talent and the alleged child molestation kicked in? I believe that Prodigy was secretly replaced with decaf while he was in the middle of recording Murda Muzik. 10. THE ILLEST Havoc actually believes that the definition of success would be to co-host a talk show with Regis Philbin. You would think he would brag about fucking Kelly Ripa doggystyle or something. Anyway, Havoc's verses on here aren't bad. 11. JUST GOT OUT THE BOX. (SKIT) . 12. NARCOTIC Now that's what I'm talking about. If "Narcotic" were included on Infamy , maybe I would have liked it a bit more. Nah ; that project was doomed from the jump. But this song is pretty good. 13. CLAP FIRST Wouldn't it actually be cooler if you clapped last , after the other guy runs out of bullets while you're showing off your flexibility and skills at adapting to the situation, and he knows that he's fucked ? Maybe I've been watching too many action flicks these days. 14. WATCH THAT N---A Sure, okay. What am I watching for? Oh. Is that it? That's nothing special. I've seen rappers make bad rap songs before. I like how Prodigy just gave all of the Mobb Deep fans permission to bootleg their shit, though, so you heard the man: get to work, my two readers! 15. CAME UP Hav and P use the same sample that The Rza gave to Method Man and Redman on their "Cereal Killa". The team of the Abbott, Meth, and Reggie wins the race hands down. 16. DON'T CALL TASHA Don't you do it! Don't you put that curse on me, Hav and P! 17. ONE TRIBE. (SKIT . 18. CRADLE TO THE GRAVE FREESTYLE Uh oh. Hav and P found some of their old beats and decided to spit over them again. This time, they decided to go with a track from The Infamous that wasn't as well-known, but that's still no excuse. 19. TOUGH LOVE FREESTYLE The beat from "More Trife Life", from Hell On Earth (Mobb Deep's other almost-perfect album), is pinched, but they changed up the title in an effort to trick you. Don't you worry, though: Max is here to pull the rubber masks off of the thieves that robbed the amusement park, and I brought my dog, too. 20. CAN'T FUCK WITH US FREESTYLE It's like Bizarro Hav and P, or even like listening to the Fugees's "Killing A Soundbwoy With This Song" instead of "Killing Me Softly". Mobb Deep redoes their own song, this time from the Murda Muzik album, and actually come off okay. 21. RIGHT BACK AT YOU FREESTYLE The original from The Infamous featured both Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. Why try to re-do greatness? Speaking of which. 22. SHOOK ONES FREESTYLE This is fucking blasphemy . I actually had to choke down vomit during Prodigy's verse. My favorite Mobb Deep song (and yours too, I would guess) will be forever tainted if you hear the older-but-clearly-not-wiser P rhyme about all of the R&B chicks he wants to fuck over this classic beat, completely destroying the original intent of the track. Oh wow , this was a misfire. DISC TWO. 1. BURN SOMETHING (MOBB DEEP FEAT LITTLES) Other than the guitar, this sounds like an outtake from Infamy . Is that a good thing, though? Not really, but I will admit that Littles, who I am usually not that impressed with, seems to have gotten a smidgen better behind the mic. 2. GET BACK (REMIX) (MOBB DEEP FEAT BIG NOYD) This is actually pretty good. The Godfather Don beat is very engaging, and Prodigy sounds almost energized, as if he drank six Red Bulls and inhaled a box of Sour Patch Kids before getting to the office that morning.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • In Hip-Hop Published on Ethnomusicology Review (
    Under the Blasphemous W(RAP): Locating the “Spirit” in Hip-Hop Published on Ethnomusicology Review (https://ethnomusicologyreview.ucla.edu) Under the Blasphemous W(RAP): Locating the “Spirit” in Hip-Hop By Christina Zanfagna - University of California, Los Angeles This article is an expanded version of the Ki Mantle Hood Prize-winning paper presented at the SEMSCC 2004 Conference in Los Angeles, California. Biography Christina Zanfagna is a Ph.D. student in ethnomusicology at UCLA. Her work has appeared in The Beat, fRoots, Afropop Quarterly, and she has a forthcoming article on krump dancing in The Social and Popular Dance Reader (University of Illinois Press, 2007). Her proposed doctoral dissertation explores themes of spirituality and commercialism in holy hip-hop music and culture. In addition, Christina has performed with the Gospel Workshop of America (GMWA) mass choir in New Orleans, the UCLA Music of Brazil Ensemble (batUCLAda), and co-organized the first Hip-Hop Film Festival at UCLA. Abstract Black popular music has always been a spiritual art form, from its sacred roots in the spirituals and gospel and extending to the blues, jazz, soul, and finally hip-hop. Despite its blasphemous w(rap), mainstream hip-hop percolates with unexpected and multifaceted religious inclinations. While many rap listeners experience a sense of spiritual ecstasy through its words and music, the sacred underbelly of rap music remains elusive to the outsider. As descendents of black music’s sacred-profane ideology, rap artists encode spiritual philosophies in the thorny arenas of sexuality, substance, and suffering. To accept this presupposes that popular culture could be a theological space— an arena in which one may encounter God even in what may be deemed unholy places.

  • Exploring Rap Music As Critical Pedagogy
    “POETRY OUT OF POISON:” EXPLORING RAP MUSIC AS CRITICAL PEDAGOGY by JASMINE DARES B.A., Concordia University, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Society, Culture and Politics in Education) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2013 © Jasmine Dares, 2013 Abstract How to create learning experiences that are more relevant and empowering for young people is an ongoing issue for educators, youth workers, parents, social scientists, and students. Critical pedagogical theorists have identified gaps in formal education which limit the possibilities for critical thinking and student-centredness (Ibrahim, 2004; Low, 2007, 2011; McLaren, 1997). While many of these studies have been conducted in classroom settings, this study focuses on what can be learned from youth programs that were collaboratively developed by program directors and rap artists in community organizations. Using qualitative interviews and drawing from cultural studies, this research engages the perspectives of five participants who are actively involved in the development and implementation of hip hop youth programs. The emergent themes from the interviews highlighted hip hop culture’s relationship with social justice and social contradictions. These findings support the claim that critical rap pedagogies provide young people with more relevant learning experiences and with greater possibilities to draw connections between their own experiences and the wider community leading to greater opportunities for agency and empowerment. ii Preface This dissertation is an original intellectual product of the author, Jasmine Dares. The fieldwork reported in Chapters 2-6 was covered by the UBC Behavioural Research Ethics Board Certificate number H10-00530.
