WHOOP! WHOOP! The Insane Clown Posse calls itself "the most hated band in the world," but with 11 million albums sold, the horrorcore hip hop duo from Detroit is a widespread music phenomenon with a cult following. This book is the story of Craven Rock's journey to their annual festival, the Gathering of the Juggalos, where legions of fans in clown makeup come together every year to attend this family-reunion-like event and enjoy musical celebrities, feats of wrestling, debauchery, and most of all, a supportive, tight-knit community.Juggalos gained the political spotlight in 2017, when thousands of fans marched on Washington, DC to protest their classification by the FBI as a violent gang. Dwarfing the pro-Trump rally at the same time and place, Juggalos proved themselves to be a growing voice of dissent for some of the most neglected parts of the United States. Rock's reporting casts a light on many contradictions and perils of Juggalodom, sensitively handling questions of gender, health, religion, and what it means to be part of something. Part festival-goer's journal, part music history, part investigative report, part social commentary, Juggalo Country takes us into the heart of a much-derided and controversial movement and shows us the redemptive power of family and community.

A docu-style investigation of our fascination with the gun, from the perspective of the hip-hop generation.The 2003 shooting death of Toronto community-centre worker Kempton Howard put the spotlight on hip hop's fixation with guns. Media and police soon blamed rap music and its tales of gang life on bullet-ridden US streets for the rising use of firearms in Canadian crime. Were these songs artful accounts of a terrible truth, or a self-fulfilling prophecy?Rodrigo Bascunan and Christian Pearce have interviewed many of the major players in the hip-hop world. As publishers of an award-winning magazine of urban culture, they'd watched rap music become a scapegoat for society's much older and widely spread fascination with guns. What follows is their international adventure to deconstruct modern gun culture in all its manifestations. Bascunan and Pearce seek out hip-hop artists, illegal gun runners, firearms aficionados and manufacturers, museum curators, academics, politicians, video-game creators, activists, victims of gun violence and the family and friends left behind.Somewhere between Fast Food Nation, No Logo and a Michael Moore documentary, featuring sly sidebar material and original artwork, Enter the Babylon System is part outrageous journalistic pursuit and part passionate cri de coeur for sanity in the face of a society's obsession.

"Will Ashon tells, in 36 interlinked 'chambers', the story of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and how it changed the world. As unexpected and complex as the album itself, Chamber Music ranges from provocative essays to semi-comic skits, from deep scholarly analysis to satirical celebration, seeking to contextualize, reveal and honor this singular work of art. Chamber Music is an explosive and revelatory new way of writing about music and culture."--

"Sue Kwon's undeniable hip-hop résumé should be bowed down to! Sue is definitely one of the greats in visually capturing a culture." -Posdnuos of De La SoulA New York Magazine 2021 holiday gift guide pick The last decade of the 20th century into the first decade of the 21st represent a High Renaissance age of hip hop--an era in which rap music had reached critical mass and was exploding, and in which New York City itself witnessed the worldwide ascension and cultural domination of its powerful homegrown art form. In Rap Is Risen: New York Photographs 1988-2008, celebrated photographer Sue Kwon documents this era with a combination of incisive portraits and unposed, spontaneous images that capture the energy of these ascendant artists and the city itself.With access to some of rap music's biggest legends--some stars already, some at the cusp of their fame--Kwon's work offers an intimacy rarely seen in the hip hop photography of the time.

Method Man brushing his teeth, Fat Joe playing softball in the Bronx, Prince Paul kissing his baby son--the trust inherent between subject and photographer is evident in intimate, joyful shots like these.Giving a rare glimpse into real rap culture, and featuring 300 photographs, most of which have never been published before, Rap Is Risen is a necessary offering to music history and the faithful followers of hip hop.Sue Kwon began her career at the Village Voice and went on to shoot primarily hip hop artists for record labels such as Def Jam, Sony and Loud Records. Recent commercial collaborations include MCM, Sergio Tacchini and Carhartt WIP national campaigns.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,0, Universität zu Köln (IdSL), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Hausarbeit macht sich somit zur Aufgabe verschiedene Arten des Dissens, Sprecherabsichten und -tendenzen zu untersuchen, Diskursstränge dessen herauszuarbeiten und anhand wiederkommender Merkmale diese Sprachform sprechakttheoretisch einzuordnen. Mediale Performanzrahmen, die ebenfalls zur Konstutierung des eigenen ¿Images¿ dienen können, sollen nicht besprochen werden. Das sogenannte Boasten (engl. to boast, übersetzt ¿prahlen¿), soll ebenfalls in Augenschein genommen werden, ausgehend von der Annahme, dass Dissen und Boasten sich nicht nur im Deutschrap abwechseln, sondern gegenseitig unterstützen, um ein extremes Selbstbild zu konstruieren und im Vergleich dazu einen ganz bestimmten Augenschein auf das (suggerierte) Gegenüber zu werfen. Die Arbeit wird somit zunächst mit einer groben theoretischen Einführung anhand von John L. Austins und John R. Searles Ideen in die Sprechakttheorie beginnen. Hintergründe der deutschen HipHop-Kultur sollen dargelegt werden, bevor dann die Diskursstränge Boasten und Dissen anhand wiederkommender inhaltlicher Themen genauer untersucht werden sollen. Dabei wird im Kontext des Boasten auf Kategorien wie Hautfarbe, Kriminalität und Rapstil eingegangen, im Vordergrund sollen allerdings die Handlungsstränge des Dissens in Bezug auf Gruppen, Geschlechter und Sexualität stehen. Die Relation von den Aussagen und ihren Benutzern soll anschließend sprechakttheoretisch eingeordnet werden. Es soll hinterfragt werden, ob Dissen als eigenständiger Sprechakt verstanden werden kann und inwiefern sich ein Diss von einer Beleidigung abgrenzt.

Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum–selling artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Fat Joe pulls back the curtain on his larger-than-life persona in this gritty, intimate memoir about growing up in the South Bronx and finding his voice through music.“An adrenaline rush . . . buckle up and lean back.”—SpinFat Joe is a hip-hop legend, but this is not a tale of celebrity; it is the story of Joseph Cartagena, a kid who came of age in the South Bronx during its darkest years of drugs, violence, and abandonment, and how he navigated that traumatizing landscape until he found—through art, friendship, luck, and will—a rocky path to a different life.Joe is born into a sprawling Puerto Rican and Cuban family in the projects of the South Bronx. From infancy his life is threatened by violence, and by the time he starts middle school, he is faced with the grim choice that defined a generation: to become predator or prey. Soon Joe and his crew dominate the streets, but he finds his true love among the park jams where the Bronx’s wild energy takes musical form. His identity splits in two: a hustler roaming record stores, looking for beats; and a budding rapper whose violent rep rings in the streets. As Joe’s day-to-day life becomes more fraught with betrayal, addiction, and death, until he himself is shot and almost killed, he gravitates toward the music that gives him both a voice to tell the stories of his young life and the tools he needs to create a new one. The challenges never stop—but neither does Joe.This memoir, written in Joe’s own intensely compelling voice, moves with the momentum of pulp fiction, but underneath the tragicomedy and riveting tales of the streets and the industry is a thought-provoking story about a generation of survivors raised in warlike conditions—the life-and-death choices they had to make, the friends they lost and mourned, and the glittering lives they created from the ruins.
