Research is still continuing on this little rap project of mine

Though after doing more reading on lyrical meaning of the form, even ganssta rap (ironically the most commercially succesful, and more persecuted) can be extremely political

Listen to this one. Local rapper, nope, the production values do not include video. But the soundtrack is there. Brandon Duncan is his name and he was targeted by the DA... to say we were gobsmacked would be an under-statement. What do you mean you are using lyrics to charge somebody with a murder he had no knowledge off?

The references to well known leaders in African life and recent events, like Trayvon Martin, make this piece of music extremely political. This is pure and rank speculation, and I doubt I could ever get the DA to admit it, but I suspect this one of the motives to target Tiny Doo. No, that is not going into an article, since as I said, I could never ever prove it. But the reading I am doing points to some of that.

Have I mentioned before that I feel I am back in graduate school? But the only way to do this right is to jump in, both feet in and do a lot of listening and a lot of reading. I have the full album in my phone, and will have to start listening (with headphones, good rhythm but I live in a nice white, mostly, building... don't think some of my neighbors will appreciate).

Anyway. Taking notes using headphones is much easier anyway.

Oh and here is the coverage the day the charges were dismissed. I also feel this is the kind of material that GD is not truly ready for... and the question is, will many Americans ever be?

So... after reading a LOT into the lyrical meaning of gansta rap... I got a new appreciation for the music form. No wonder DAs go after it and hope that we white folks never look into it. Yup part of the research...

This is one thing I love about the job... you get exposed, while researching stories, to material that otherwise you would never ever think of reading. The RAP story continues, and it is getting deep. Let's just say that the war on Rap by the judiciary is sadly, not unprecedented.

She is insane.

Welcome back to the Island, gNads. It hasn't been nearly as entertaining without you!

Mid-season form! This is so great.

I knew she'd come back from exile all tanned, rested, and ready to reclaim the Top DUmmy throne.

What other DUmpmonkey can serve up word salad like this?

Yuo hear exactly that
If you speak of Folson prison and you are Johnny Cash, well, that is country music, None will assume the man was talking of auto  biography. On the other hand... with rappers, somehow they are.  Why defense attorneys try hard to prevent this form, and it only Rap, from being introduced to evidence.

As to the form, as much as I am bothered about the mysoginy and the rest, it is part of the persona that people in the inner city are required to take in order to succeed.

Now you know why I feel I Bach in a graduate Seminar.

I Bach? Is that Johann Sebastian's younger brother, the classical rapper?

Seminar. I am also looking at previous forms of music and connection to social movements and change. This is connected in the same way.

Edit, silly phone
