In 2015, in the journal Royal society open science, published a witty evolutionary history of pop music, based on the Billboard Hot 100 chart from 1960 to 2010, in which the authors applied elements such as timbre, chord and speech as if they were impressions of fossil, and the Genre as if it was alive, developing organism. “We have identified three of the revolution: one of the largest in 1991, and two smaller ones, roughly from 1964 to 1983,” reads the report. 1964 corresponds to the intergrowth of rock and soul, and the peak in 1983 of an agreement with the rise of synth-pop and New wave, and a kaleidoscopic fade of disco and funk. Signals 1991 the dominance of hip-hop and its environment, REP. In interview Bi-bi-si, head researcher Matthias Mauch said, referring to the homogeneity of stadium rock in the late eighties: “I think that hip-hop saved schedule.”
We know that, and we knew it in 2015, but the novel lure of this research came from his impassivity, which drew attention to hip-hop as a historical institution. As you approach the fiftieth anniversary of hip-hop invention—in the South Bronx in the early seventies—the announcement Monday that Kendrick Lamar was awarded the Pulitzer prize for the music for 2017 album “damn.,” works of this kind a double take. Lamar is the first rapper to win a Pulitzer prize, and “damn” is the first hip-hop song in honor since the establishment of music award in 1943.. this time, Joe Coscarelli surveyed route, jurors found that that the vote for Lamar was unanimous, and that in the discussion for “best music” was the conference on the ethics of gatekeeping. The history of musical awards has been a long March of classical works. In this, win Lamar refracts that of Wynton Marsalis became the first jazz musician to win the Pulitzer prize in 1997 for “blood on the fields”. Dana Kennedy, the administrator of the Commission, framed the decision as a big flash point: “it will shed light on hip-hop in a completely different way. This is an important moment for hip hop music, and an important moment for the Pulitzer prize.”
I argue that this award is a great event for the Pulitzer than Lamar, or to lift the spirit of hip-hop. “Fate will be kind to me. Fate doesn’t want me to be too famous too young,” Duke Ellington said in 1965 when he was sixty-six, after the Advisory Board of the Pulitzer prize denied recommendations that he will receive special recognition Citation for his contribution to jazz. With Lamar, just thirty years old, probably sitting on a future layout that will surpass the Odyssey in “hell.”—and “pimp Butterfly” and “good kid, M. A. A. D. city,” what was before him—the Pulitzer prize impetus of the reformation campaign, finding a canny ability to stake out the place in advance. (Win bears some relation to the Nobel prize Bob Dylan in the literature, in 2016, although in this case, the referendum had to do with what constitutes the literature.) Most obviously, it sets the stage for the argument that the prize of the intelligentsia, which is disinterested in the flow of popular music can be trickier idea of cultural consequences than the Grammys, which for the top award, “album of the year”, and insulted not only Lamar—this year and in the past—but all the other black hip hop artist than Lauryn hill and outkast. I certainly didn’t expect Pulitzer prize, that finally proves the Grammys are irrelevant. David Hajdu, the critic in the country and one of the Pulitzer jurors said Coscarelli, recognizing that “damn!” means recognizing that rap music “has no value on its own terms, and not only as a resource to use in the field, which is more widely recognized in the institutional establishment as serious and legitimate.” Rap is not primarily depends on the recognition of traditional authorities to flourish and change. It will be fun to hear how Lamar subtleties of the verse includes the word “Pulitzer”.
Historical figures to win in Lamar’s grandiose, affected consecration of dark in elite areas—for example, I think “thousand flowers” waiting blooms in kehinde Wiley’s portrait of Barack Obama. It was Obama, with the leaders of the rappers in the White house, which has accelerated the conclusion that hip-hop has already earned a reputation as a great American art. In its long and confusing to lean toward admission, were doing hip hop in sacrifice of their region? Lamar is a fascinating and brilliant response. He is a complex artist because it is at the junction of the forces that seem inaccurate: it is a signal a political gadfly who is happy to curate the soundtrack to advertising Juggernaut “Black Panther”; he is a literary virtuoso who understands the charisma needed to make songs that you can play at the club. He is hip-hop, which means he’s categorization of the skirt. “Pulitzer” got it right.
