A John Steptoe New Talent Award WinnerBefore there was hip hop, there was DJ Kool Herc. On a hot day at the end of summer in 1973 Cindy Campbell threw a back-to-school party at a park in the South Bronx. Her brother, Clive Campbell, spun the records. He had a new way of playing the music to make the breaks-the musical interludes between verses-longer for dancing. He called himself DJ Kool Herc and this is When the Beat Was Born. From his childhood in Jamaica to his youth in the Bronx, Laban Carrick Hill's book tells how Kool Herc came to be a DJ, how kids in gangs stopped fighting in order to breakdance, and how the music he invented went on to define a culture and transform the world.

Trip-hop described some of the 1990s' best music, and it was one of the decade's most revealing bad ideas. This book chronicles the music and its leading artists, packed with recommended listening, essential tracks, great remixes, and under-recognized albums."Your playlists will soon be overflowing." - Spectrum CultureThe music itself was an intoxication of beats, bass, and voice. It emerged amid the social tensions of the late 1980s, and as part of hip-hop's rise to global dominance. It carried the innovations of Jamaican soundsystem culture, the sweet refuge of Lovers Rock, the bliss of club jazz dancefloors and post-rave chill-out rooms. It went mainstream with Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, DJ Shadow, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and Björk; and with record labels like Ninja Tune and Mo' Wax. To the artists' despair, the music was tagged with a silly label and packaged as music for the boutique and the lounge; made respectable with awards and acclaim.But the music at its best still sounds experimental and dramatic; and its influence lingers through artists like FKA twigs, Sevdaliza, James Blake, Billie Eilish, and Lana Del Rey. This short book is a guide to 'trip-hop' in its context of the weird 1990s: nostalgia and consumerism; pre-millenium angst and lo-fi technology; casual exoticism amid accelerating globalization and gentrification.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Medienökonomie, -management, Note: 1,0, Universität zu Köln (Institut für Medienkultur und Theater), Veranstaltung: Postmoderne als Archiv, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Eine zehn Inch große Schallplatte; veröffentlicht von einer lutherischen Kirche, das pinke Label trägt den Aufdruck eines schwarzen Fisches. Mehr Informationen bot Christopher Martin, der in der HipHop-Szene unter dem Pseudonym DJ Premier als DJ und Produzent Weltruhm erlangte, zu keiner Zeit. Dennoch genügten die Hinweise, um in Internetforen selbsternannter Musikarchäologen seitenweise Diskussionen zu initiieren, welche die Ergebnisse der geleisteten Detektivarbeit thematisierten. Ziel war es, anhand der neuen Hinweise die Quelle jenes Samples zu identifizieren, welches DJ Premier 1999 in dem von ihm produzierten Song NAS IS LIKE des Rappers Nas verwendete.Das große Interesse zeigte erneut, welch große Rolle Samples, Intertextualität und das Wiederverwenden bestehender Werke im Bereich der Rapmusik spielen. Ähnlich der Vorgehensweise von Regisseuren wie Quentin Tarantino, greifen Produzenten der Rapmusik regelmäßig auf Werke anderer Künstler und Epochen zurück und verweigern ¿the purist aesthetic according to which elements from different periods, styles, or genres should never be combined.¿ (Shusterman) Nachfolgend soll die in der Rapmusik verwendete Technik des Sampelns im Kontext der Postmoderne dahingehend untersucht werden, ob eine Korrelation von Kriterien der Postmoderne innerhalb der Filmwissenschaft und der Vorgehensweise von Produzenten der Rapmusik besteht.

"A strong and timely book for the new day in hip-hop. Don't miss it!"-Cornel West For many African Americans of a certain demographic the sixties and seventies were the golden age of political movements. The Civil Rights movement segued into the Black Power movement which begat the Black Arts movement. Fast forward to 1979 and the release of Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight." With the onset of the Reagan years, we begin to see the unraveling of many of the advances fought for in the previous decades. Much of this occurred in the absence of credible, long-term leadership in the black community. Young blacks disillusioned with politics and feeling society no longer cared or looked out for their concerns started rapping with each other about their plight, becoming their own leaders on the battlefield of culture and birthing Hip-Hop in the process. In Somebody Scream, Marcus Reeves explores hip-hop music and its politics. Looking at ten artists that have impacted rap-from Run-DMC (Black Pop in a B-Boy Stance) to Eminem (Vanilla Nice)-and puts their music and celebrity in a larger socio-political context. In doing so, he tells the story of hip hop's rise from New York-based musical form to commercial music revolution to unifying expression for a post-black power generation.

Our generation made hip-hop. But hip-hop also made us. Why are suburban kids referring to their subdivision as "block”? Why has the pimp become a figure of male power? Why has dodging the feds become an act of honor long after one has made millions as a legitimate artist? What happens when fantasy does more harm than reality?—From the IntroductionHip-hop culture has been in the mainstream for years. Suburban teens take their fashion cues from Diddy and expect to have Three 6 Mafia play their sweet-sixteen parties. From the "Boogie Down Bronx” to the heartland, hip-hop's influence is major. But has the movement taken a wrong turn? In Beats Rhymes and Life, hot journalists Kenji Jasper and Ytasha Womack have focused on what they consider to be the most prominent symbols of the genre: the fan, the turntable, the ice, the dance floor, the shell casing, the buzz, the tag, the whip, the ass, the stiletto, the (pimp's) cane, the coffin, the cross, and the corner. Each is the focus of an essay by a journalist who skillfully dissects what their chosen symbol means to them and to the hip-hop community.The collection also features many original interviews with some of rap's biggest stars talking candidly about how they connect to the culture and their fans. With a foreword by the renowned scholar Michael Eric Dyson, Beats Rhymes and Life is an innovative and daring look at the state of the hip-hop nation.
