| family business by kanye west: The Famous Feud Project Casian Anton, 2024-01-12 In the history of human nature there are conflicts with a happy ending, or with a tragic ending. The Famous Feud, in general, seems to have a happy ending with one winner: Taylor Swift. From my point of view, the Famous Feud ended in July 2016. In June 2017 I was convinced that Taylor Swift was the victim (for the second time) of Kanye West. In October 2023, after I have updated the entire research on the Famous Feud, the original conclusion did not change. I created this edition to include everything I wrote about the Famous Feud. It is an edition for people interested in reading the entire Famous Feud story from A to Z. The Famous Feud Project report has two parts: Part 1. Music in Black and White: A Journey Behind the Musical Notes; Part 2. On the Famous Feud. Enjoy your reading! |
| family business by kanye west: "Wake Up, Mr. West" Joshua K. Wright, 2022-01-14 Black celebrities in America have always walked a precarious line between their perceived status as spokespersons for their race and their own individual success--and between being not black enough for the black community or too black to appeal to a broader audience. Few know this tightrope walk better than Kanye West, who transformed hip-hop, pop and gospel music, redefined fashion, married the world's biggest reality TV star and ran for president, all while becoming one of only a handful of black billionaires worldwide. Despite these accomplishments, his polarizing behavior, controversial alliances and bouts with mental illness have made him a caricature in the media and a disappointment among much of his fanbase. This book examines West's story and what it reveals about black celebrity and identity and the American dream. |
| family business by kanye west: Black and White Music Casian Anton, 2021-08-21 In Black & White Music report I investigated a very small part of the music industry from the USA (0.09% musicians); more precisely, I investigated the contribution and the artistic merit (greater or lesser) of black artists (0.03%) and white artists (0.05%) in the production and writing of their albums. The artists investigated in this report are Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan, Adele and Beck. I selected these artists because the music produced and released by them was used by various artists and journalists as examples of allegations of discrimination and racism which takes place in the music industry in the USA. The aim of the research is split into 2 levels: in the first level: I explored, analysed and created a comparative study about the contribution and the artistic merit of black and white artists in the production and writing of their albums; to achieve this aim, I added contribution and artistic merit into one bubble of research and treated the two concepts with the same meaning, then I divided the bubble into 8 points of research. the second level: is about using the findings from the eight points of research to offer a response to three conventional wisdom advanced by black artists and their supporters against the rules and awards offered by The Recording Academy. Black & White Music report it is unique and original which investigates the artistic merit of six of the best artists in the music industry of the USA; in these pages, there is an advanced comparative analysis of the music released by famous artists that was never done before. Black & White Music report was born out of the urgent need to confront and challenge the three conventional wisdom advanced by black artists and their supporters who feel and promote the idea of injustice regarding the music released. Black & White Music report can be used to calm the realities of discrimination and racism and provides a point of reference of the quality, originality and novelty of the music investigated in these pages; also, it is for future artists waiting to be discovered, and what they need to expect once they are part of the music industry.

| family business by kanye west: Kanye West Robert C. Schaller Jr., 2009-07-23 A revealing biography of Kanye West explores the artist—and the man. Kanye West is a star. His music has jumped from sensation to staple in the rap industry, while his personality, his philosophies, and his willingness to speak out for what he believes in regularly place him at the center of controversy. Kanye West: A Biography traces the star's life from his birth through the present day to paint a detailed picture of the artist and the man. Raised by a single mother who was an English professor in Chicago, West admits he came from the wrong side of the mall rather than the wrong side of the tracks. His name, his style, and the way he conducts his business are unique. His thoughtful reflections in interviews reveal a complex man few have taken the time to understand. This biography looks at that multifaceted star, exploring his career as singer and producer, but also looking at the forces that prepared him to chase his dreams—and chase off anyone who stood in his way. |
| family business by kanye west: Raising Kanye Donda West, Karen Hunter, 2007-05-08 The mother of rap superstar Kanye West shares her experiences on being a single mother raising a celebrity. As the mother of hip-hop superstar Kanye West, Donda West has watched her son grow from a brilliant baby boy with all the intimations of fame and fortune to one of the hottest rappers on the music scene. And she has every right to be proud: she raised her son with strong moral values, teaching him right from wrong and helping him become the man he is today. In Raising Kanye, Donda not only pays homage to her famous son but reflects on all the things she learned about being his mother along the way. Featuring never-before-seen photos and compelling personal anecdotes, Donda's powerful and inspiring memoir reveals everything from the difficulties she faced as a single mother in the African American community to her later experiences as Kanye's manager as he rose to superstardom. Speaking frankly about her son's reputation as a Mama's Boy, and his memorable public outbursts about gay rights and President George W. Bush, Donda supports her son without exception, and here she shares the invaluable wisdom she has taken away from each experience—passion, tolerance, patience, and above all, always telling the truth. Ultimately, she not only expresses what her famously talented son has meant to her but what he has meant to music and an entire generation. |
| family business by kanye west: Hip-Hop as Philosophical Text and Testimony Lissa Skitolsky, 2020-12-16 Hip-hop as survivor testimony? Rhymes as critical text? Drawing on her own experiences as a lifelong hip-hop head and philosophy professor, Lissa Skitolsky reveals the existential power of hip-hop to affect our sensibility and understanding of race and anti-black racism. Hip-Hop as Philosophical Text and Testimony: Can I Get a Witness? examines how the exclusion of hip-hop from academic discourse around knowledge, racism, white supremacy, genocide, white nationalism, and trauma reflects the very neoliberal sensibility that hip-hop exposes and opposes. At this critical moment in history, in the midst of a long overdue global reckoning with systemic anti-black racism, Skitolsky shows how it is more important than ever for white people to realize that our failure to see this system—and take hip-hop seriously—has been essential to its reproduction. In this book, she illustrates the unique power of underground hip-hop to interrupt our neoliberal and post-racial sensibility of current events. |

| family business by kanye west: Muzică în Alb și Negru Casian Anton, În raportul Muzică în Alb & Negru am investigat o foarte mică parte din industria muzicală din SUA, 0,09% muzicieni; mai precis, am investigat contribuția și meritul artistic (mai mare sau mai mic) al artiștilor de culoare (0,03%) și al artiștilor albi (0,05%) în producerea și scrierea albumelor lor. Artiștii investigați în acest raport sunt Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan, Adele și Beck. Am selectat acești artiști pentru că muzica produsă și lansată de ei a fost folosită de diverși artiști și jurnalişti ca exemple de acuzații de discriminare și rasism care are loc în industria muzicală din SUA. De exemplu, Kendrick Lamar (artist de culoare) a fost promovat de jurnaliștii Occidentali câștigătorul Celui Mai Bun Album Rap cu câteva zile înainte de ceremonia din 2014, dar a fost învins de Macklemore & Ryan (artiști albi), iar in 2016 de Taylor Swift (artistă albă); Beyoncé (artistă de culoare) a pierdut în 2015 în fața lui Beck (artist alb) iar în 2017 a pierdut în fața lui Adele (artistă albă din Marea Britanie, dar nominalizată la premiile Grammy în diferite categorii); deși a avut unul dintre cele mai recomandate și pozitive recenzii de albume din viața lui și în industria muzicală, albumul lui Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, nu a fost nominalizat la Albumul Anului. Cu alte cuvinte, industria muzicală de astăzi este prinsă într-o situație dificilă care subminează grav credibilitatea The Recording Academy și premiile Grammy. Scopul cercetării este împărțit pe 2 niveluri: primul nivel: am explorat, analizat și realizat un studiu comparativ despre contribuția și meritul artistic al artiștilor alb și de culoare în producerea și scrierea albumelor lor; pentru a atinge acest scop, am adăugat contribuția și meritul artistic într-o singură sferă de cercetare, și am tratat cele două concepte cu același sens, apoi am împărțit sfera în 8 puncte de cercetare; al doilea nivel este despre utilizarea constatărilor din cele opt puncte de cercetare pentru a oferi un răspuns la trei înțelepciuni convenționale avansate de artiștii de culoare și susținătorii lor împotriva regulilor și premiilor oferite de The Recording Academy.

| family business by kanye west: Kanye West Owes Me $300 Jensen Karp, 2017-05-02 In this “triumphantly funny” (AV Club) memoir, comedian Jensen Karp tells the story of how, as a Jewish kid from the L.A. suburbs, he became a rap battle legend—and then almost became a star. “The funniest person I follow on Twitter finally got smart and wrote about his unlikely—and hilarious—odyssey as teenage rapper Hot Karl.”—Kevin Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Tough Sh*t When twelve-year old Jensen Karp got his first taste of rapping for crowds at his friend’s bar mitzvah in 1991, little did he know that he was taking his first step on a journey that would end with a failed million-dollar recording and publishing deal with Interscope Records when he was only nineteen. Now, in Kanye West Owes Me $300, Karp finally tells the true story of his wild ride as “Hot Karl,” the most famous white rapper you’ve never heard of. On his way to (almost) celebrity, Jensen shares his childhood run-ins with rock-listening, Southern California classmates, who tell him that “rap is for black people,” and then recounts his record-breaking rap battling streak on popular radio contest “The Roll Call”—a run that caught the eye of a music industry hungry for new rap voices in the early ’00s. He also introduces his rap partner, Rickye, who constitutes the second half of their group XTra Large; his supportive mom, who performs with him onstage; and the soon-to-be-household-name artists he records with, including Redman, Fabolous, Mya, and will.i.am. Finally, he reveals why his album never saw the light of day (two words: Slim Shady), the downward spiral he suffered after, and what he found instead of rap glory. Full of rollicking stories from his close brush with fame, Karp’s hilarious memoir is the ultimate fish-out-of-water story about a guy who follows an unlikely passion—trying to crack the rap game—despite what everyone else says. It’s 30 Rock for the rap set; 8 Mile for the suburbs; and quite the journey for a white kid from the valley. |
| family business by kanye west: Number 23 and Me Wayne Pounds, 2019-11-23 This is not just a sports story. This is not just a political story, nor is this just a pop culture story. This is a story about a script written in 1984 about a star baller, who cares deeply about his community, has no father in the home, with the last name James who skipped college and went straight to the pros just like Lebron James. I believe and will testify to all facts herein. I believe that this is a prophetic message to our nation sent 35 years ago from God for today. Lace-up your Nike's as we take a 35 year journey starting in 1984, the greatest year in NBA off-court history. Michael Jordan was drafted. Lebron was born in Akron, Ohio, and a Stern new commissioner named David stepped up to the plate. The story timelines MJ's career, Lebron's life, and the NBA, quilted together with pop culture, politics, and the life of the young Scribe (writer) who copyrighted the script when he was 23 years old. We end the timeline in 2018. We, then, shoot forward 23 years with a bold prediction of America's future around the season 2040-2041, and now, We Are All Witnesses! |

| family business by kanye west: Therapeutic Uses of Rap and Hip-Hop Susan Hadley, George Yancy, 2012-05-22 In perceiving all rap and hip-hop music as violent, misogynistic, and sexually charged, are we denying the way in which it is attentive to the lived experiences, both positive and negative, of many therapy clients? This question is explored in great depth in this anthology, the first to examine the use of this musical genre in the therapeutic context. The contributors are all experienced therapists who examine the multiple ways that rap and hip-hop can be used in therapy by listening and discussing, performing, creating, or improvising. The text is divided into three sections that explore the historical and theoretical perspectives of rap and hip-hop in therapy, describe the first-hand experiences of using the music with at-risk youth, and discuss the ways in which contributors have used rap and hip-hop with clients with specific diagnoses, respectively. Within these sections, the contributors provide rationale for the use of rap and hip-hop in therapy and encourage therapists to validate the experiences for those for whom rap music is a significant mode of expression. Editors Susan Hadley and George Yancy go beyond promoting culturally competent therapy to creating a paradigm shift in the field, one that speaks to the problematic ways in which rap and hip-hop have been dismissed as expressive of meaningless violence and of little social value. More than providing tools to incorporate rap into therapy, this text enhances the therapist's cultural and professional repertoire. |

| family business by kanye west: Toward Afrodiasporic and Afrofuturist Philosophies of Religion Jon Ivan Gill, 2022-04-14 Based on the categories of mainstream philosophy of religion, we must ask the question if said categories are adequate to describe the conceptual frameworks of traditions not philosophically dependent on Western theistic understandings, such as religious traditions and philosophies of life emerging from the continent of Africa and appearing in the United States, the Caribbean, North, Central, and South America, and Europe. This book host students from Pomona College and Pitzer College (Claremont Colleges, Claremont, California) who have analyzed the field of philosophy of religion as it stands to determine which of its insights can be applied to Afro-diasporic and Afrofuturist notions of religion and which ones cannot. Their reflections in these chapters will ask: how do we define Afro-diasporic religion, what would a robust philosophy of religion of Afro-diasporic and Afrofuturist religions draw from, what categories would/should it contain, how would we construct such a non-Western methodology of philosophy of religion, and what sources would we use to construct such a philosophy of religion? In an attempt to aesthetically experience what Afro-diasporic and Afrofuturist philosophies of religion are/could be, the text will rely heavily on fiction novels, poetry, music, movies, and texts written by Afro-diasporic people from various social locations and perspectives on some African notions of religion, among other centers of reflection. |

Ha sido una campaña larga y, acompañado de su mujer Esther y su hija Jasmine, pasa las últimas horas de la víspera electoral con sus asesores en un hotel de Nimes. Durante la cena, gran parte de la conversación gira en torno al novio de Jasmine: Fouad Nerrouche, un conocido actor de orígenes argelinos que ha apoyado públicamente la candidatura de Chaouch. Es difícil ignorar la influencia de tal celebridad en esta carrera compleja e impredecible que podría marcar un antes y un después en la historia de Francia. Mismo día. Saint-Etienne. La familia Nerrouche se prepara frenéticamente para una gran boda y Fouad se encuentra ahí para ayudar. Pero su primo Krim -que acaba de perder su trabajo- cada vez parece más inquieto y nadie sabe por qué. A medida que avanza el día, queda claro que sus problemas van más allá del desempleo: su primo Nazir, hermano de Fouad y oscura figura del submundo del crimen local, le ha encargado una misión que puede dinamitar el destino de una familia y las esperanzas de todo un país. SabriLouatah firma en esta trepidante trilogía un thriller político y social de una actualidad estremecedora que dejará al lector en vilo, una saga familiar que pone contra las cuerdas a la Francia actual mientras bucea en los bajos fondos de un sistema dispuesto a todo para no desaparecer. La crítica ha dicho: «Inmensa e inmensamente popular.» The New Yorker «Un fresco social ambicioso, una escritura extraordinaria por su vitalidad, su creatividad, su benevolencia. Original y convincente, desde la ley y orden hasta la prensa y la política, Los Salvajes es una galería de retratos, libre de amargura e ingenuidad. Esperamos impacientes el duelo final.» Virginie Despentes «Una obra de ficción imponente. Explosiva, con un ritmo salvaje y enfebrecido. Un triunfo.» Le Point «Una historia con un ritmo impecable, Louatah captura cada detalle como si filmase con una cámara oculta. Dibuja un asombroso cuadro de los desposeídos de Francia en una novela innovadora más valiosa que cualquier libro de no-ficción.» Le Figaro «Un excepcional thriller político y social. La energía e imaginación detrás de Los salvajes es impresionante. Parece capaz de predecir -o deducir- el futuro. Brillante y divertido.» Libération «Louatah combina puro instinto con un talento único. ¡Qué aventura! Los Salvajes es una saga totalmente adictiva y fascinante. Su escritura es áspera, sorprendente, insolente, humorística y extraordinariamente firme.» L'Express «Un libro superior, con muchos puntos en común con la trama compleja y trabajada de Los Sopranos o The Wire. Louatah no augura un final feliz para las tensiones que plagan Francia, pero el libro consigue emocionar y entretener sin perder su agudo análisis político.» The Observer «Un texto hábil, seductor y trepidante.» Pablo Martínez Zarracina, SUR. |
| family business by kanye west: África no es un país Dipo Faloyin, 2024-09-23 A menudo África ha sido descrita de forma simplista como una tierra uniforme de hambrunas y safaris, pobreza y luchas, despojada de todo matiz. En este libro audaz y perspicaz, Dipo Faloyin ofrece un correctivo muy necesario, tejiendo un vibrante tapiz de historias que dan vida a la rica diversidad, comunidades e historias de África. Comenzando con una descripción envolvente de la animada y compleja vida urbana de Lagos, Faloyin desentierra verdades sorprendentes sobre la herencia colonial de muchos países africanos y cuenta la historia de las luchas del continente con la democracia a través de siete dictaduras. Con mordacidad, aborda el fenómeno del complejo del salvador blanco y saca a la luz los daños causados por las campañas benéficas de las últimas décadas, revisando hitos culturales como la película KONY 2012. Adentrándose en las rivalidades que dinamizan el continente, Faloyin participa en el acalorado debate sobre qué país de África Occidental elabora el mejor arroz jollof y describe la extraña e incongruente belleza de la Copa Africana de Naciones. Con la mirada puesta en las futuras promesas del continente, explora los movimientos culturales y políticos liderados por jóvenes que están definiendo y reimaginando África en sus propios términos. Las historias que Faloyin comparte son por momentos alegres y enfurecedoras; orgullosas y optimistas de cara al futuro, incluso cuando se enfrentan inequívocamente a los obstáculos sistemáticamente establecidos por las antiguas potencias coloniales. Rebosante de humor e ingenio, lleno de ideas políticas y, sobre todo, impregnado de un profundo amor por la región, 'África no es un país' lleva la historia del continente hacia la realidad, celebrando la energía y el tejido de sus diferentes culturas y comunidades de una forma que nunca antes se había hecho. |

| family business by kanye west: Composition and Cornel West Keith Gilyard, 2008-05-05 Composition and Cornel West: Notes toward a Deep Democracy identifies and explains key aspects of the work of Cornel West—the highly regarded scholar of religion, philosophy, and African American studies—as they relate to composition studies, focusing especially on three rhetorical strategies that West suggests we use in our questioning lives as scholars, teachers, students, and citizens. In this study, author Keith Gilyard examines the strategies of Socratic Commitment (a relentless examination of received wisdom), Prophetic Witness (an abiding concern with justice and the plight of the oppressed), and Tragicomic Hope (a keep-on-pushing sensibility reflective of the African American freedom struggle). Together, these rhetorical strategies comprise an updated form of cultural criticism that West calls prophetic pragmatism. This volume, which contains the only interview in which Cornel West directly addresses the field of composition,sketches the development of Cornel West’s theories of philosophy, political science, religion, and cultural studies and restates the link between Deweyan notions of critical intelligence and the notion of critical literacy developed by Ann Berthoff, Ira Shor, and Henry Giroux. Gilyard provides examples from the classroom to illustrate the possibilities of Socratic Commitment as part of composition pedagogy, shows the alignment of Prophetic Witness with traditional aims of critical composition, and in his chapter on Tragicomic Hope, addresses African American expressive culture with an emphasis on music and artists such as Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, and Kanye West. The first book to comprehensively connect the ideas of one of America's premier scholars of religion, philosophy and African American studies with composition theory and pedagogy, Composition and Cornel West will be valuable to scholars, teachers, and students interested in race, class, critical literacy, and the teaching of writing. |
| family business by kanye west: The Oxford Handbook of Children's Musical Cultures Patricia Shehan Campbell, Trevor Wiggins, 2013-02-14 The Oxford Handbook of Children's Musical Cultures is a compendium of perspectives on children and their musical engagements as singers, dancers, players, and avid listeners. Over the course of 35 chapters, contributors from around the world provide an interdisciplinary enquiry into the musical lives of children in a variety of cultures, and their role as both preservers and innovators of music. Drawing on a wide array of fields from ethnomusicology and folklore to education and developmental psychology, the chapters presented in this handbook provide windows into the musical enculturation, education, and training of children, and the ways in which they learn, express, invent, and preserve music. Offering an understanding of the nature, structures, and styles of music preferred and used by children from toddlerhood through childhood and into adolescence, The Oxford Handbook of Children's Musical Cultures is an important step forward in the study of children and music. |
