Posted by Kim / 0 comments

‘In this lecture, Kim Dankoor will focus on ‘Artists with Attitudez’: political rap expression throughout the years. From a cross-sectional, political, social and economic perspective, she’s going to dive into the relationship between rap and politics, with examples from four eras: from Grandmaster Flash’s (also N.W.A, Ice-T, etc.) political messages via gangsta rap to feministic politics (e.g., Queen Latifah,Megan Thee Stallion), to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘modern’ political messaging in rap and, of course, to Black Lives Matter (Lil Baby). Date: October 27th.’

KIMs lecture at Erasmus University Rotterdam (politics and rap music)

Posted by Kim / 0 comments

KIM gave a lecture on the complex relationship between politics and rap music. The term ‘complex’ also refers to Love’s theory (2016) on complex personhood within Hip Hop culture. This class was part of professor Julian Schaap’s minor program: ‘Greatest Hits and Critics’ Picks.’

Illustrative quote: “Black people’s historic exclusion from social capital gave birth to a social construction that coexists with the dominant culture, borrowing necessary aspects to progress, but remained grounded in a type of counter-culture.” (Richardson & Scott, 2002).
