Download Rhymes in the Flow Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Despite its global popularity, rap has received little scholarly attention in terms of its poetic features. Rhymes in the Flow systematically analyzes the poetics (rap beats, rhythms, rhymes, verse and song structures) of many notable rap songs to provide new insights on rap artistry and performance. Defining and describing the features of what rappers commonly call flow, the authors establish a theory of the rap line as they trace rap’s deepest roots and stylistic evolution—from Anglo-Saxon poetry to Lil Wayne—and contextualize its complex poetics. Rhymes in the Flow helps explain rap’s wide appeal by focusing primarily on its rhythmic and thematic power, while also claiming its historical, cultural, musical, and poetic importance.

Download Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor, 1980–1983 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
As the 1970s gave way to the 80s, New York's party scene entered a ferociously inventive period characterized by its creativity, intensity, and hybridity. Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor chronicles this tumultuous time, charting the sonic and social eruptions that took place in the city’s subterranean party venues as well as the way they cultivated breakthrough movements in art, performance, video, and film. Interviewing DJs, party hosts, producers, musicians, artists, and dancers, Tim Lawrence illustrates how the relatively discrete post-disco, post-punk, and hip hop scenes became marked by their level of plurality, interaction, and convergence. He also explains how the shifting urban landscape of New York supported the cultural renaissance before gentrification, Reaganomics, corporate intrusion, and the spread of AIDS brought this gritty and protean time and place in American culture to a troubled denouement.

Download Shelterball Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Dante Grabina was the latest great point guard coming out of New York City and the world seemingly was at his feet. Not unlike many before him, his dream was soon transformed when he saw nothing but dollar signs; he declined to go to college and instead chose to go straight to the NBA. Nicknamed Blur, he was physically and mentally unprepared for the NBA, and as a result, he did not last. When he tries to cash in on some easy money with an old friend from the neighborhood, he is arrested and spends five long years in jail. Shelterball picks up years later when, unhappy with his tedious life, Blur attempts to turn it around. At the age of 35, he applies and is accepted to college. While he is there, he pushes himself to be a better student and citizen. Focusing on educating himself and gaining a broader worldview, he is approached by the basketball coach who remembers him from years ago and convinces him to come try out for the team. With basketball back in his life, he gradually transforms from the selfish boy of his youth to the selfless, empathetic man that he always saw and admired in his father. Moreover, once his championship pedigree on the court transitions to the real world, he begins a journey where loyalty, honor, friendship, and a man’s word become more valuable than money or fame. Shelterball is about Blur's struggle with his family, his friends, a woman that he becomes involved with who is in an abusive relationship, and most importantly himself.

Download The Record Players Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
From the co-authors of the classic Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: A fascinating oral history of record spinning told by the groundbreaking DJs themselves. Acclaimed authors and music historians Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton have spent years traveling across the world to interview the revolutionary and outrageous DJs who shaped the last half-century of pop music. The Record Players is the fun and revealing result—a collection of firsthand accounts from the obsessives, the playboys, and the eccentrics that dominated the music scene and contributed to the evolution of DJ culture. In the sixties, radio tastemakers brought their sound to the masses, while early trendsetters birthed the role of the club DJ at temples of hip like the Peppermint Lounge. By the seventies, DJs were changing the course of popular music; and in the eighties, young innovators wore out their cross-faders developing techniques that turned their craft into its own form of music. With discographies, favorite songs, and amazing photos of all the DJs as young firebrands, The Record Players offers an unparalleled music education: from records to synthesizers, from disco to techno, and from influential cliques to arenas packed with thousands of dancing fans.
