#Gangstarap

[it-s-50]

⚫ Dans l’histoire de la musique, le rap tient une place importante (et à part).

Qu’on aime ou pas, c’est un genre musical qui a également ses codes graphiques, qui plus est lorsqu’on parle du rap de la côte ouest des États-Unis (plus communément appelé Gangsta Rap).

Le style est dérivé du rap Hardcore, né en Californie à la fin des années 80.

De très grands artistes ont émergés de ce mouvement Gansta Rap : Tupac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg entre autres – il y en a beaucoup et de très grands.

Leurs pochettes d’album sont presque à chaque fois des œuvres d’art qui illustrent l’engagement de leurs auteurs.

L’album "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…" de Tupac est une pure réussite graphique (reprenant toutes les tendances et couleurs de l’époque, le visuel est tout aussi puissant que les paroles, c’est un brûlot politique et esthétique).

⚫ Living Tree Record propose aujourd’hui l’album de Kameron, rappeur new-yorkais engagé.

LTR s’associe au label ASSASSIN ANT PROD qui regroupe plusieurs rappeurs (il y aura donc, plus tard, une nouvelle incursion dans cet univers fascinant).

Lorsque j’en ai conçu la pochette, je me suis inspiré des set-lists de Janet Jackson qui proposent des interludes entre chaque titre. J’ai imaginé que Kameron en aurait composé un entre chaque opus.

LTR et Kameron proposent une pochette axée sur un visuel simple et fort. Un portrait N&B du rappeur fait en studio. Un portrait et un regard.

It breaks my heart because it’s a double-edged sword. On the one hand, this is what companies want because it sells. Nothing wrong with that but at the same time back in the 80s there was balance. For every NWA there was a Public Enemy, for every Too Short and Ice T there was an EPMD and a Brand Nubian. Balance. Then, on the other hand, the “majority” makes movies about gangsters (especially in the 30s) Scarface (the original B&W version with Paul Muni)The Public Enemy, and White Heat both with Cagney. It’s a given that though the subject matter is real it is ENTERTAINMENT! At the time when these films were made yes they were called out because Italian, Irish, Jewish, and American gangsters were on a rampage. The Depression and prohibition, etc. People like Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie, and Clyde, etc, were heroes! But us? We can’t have simple entertainment. We have to “justify” and “defend” everything that is said. The vast majority of these rappers have not done have the sh!t they rap about. This sick “society” has us second-guessing everything we do. Personally, as a kid, I listened to so-called “gangsta rap”. I still do sometimes. But I never, ever went around saying foolishness like “Imma kill dat n!&&@! That’s because I listened to PE (to this day at 50 years old Chuck D is STILL my hero! U couldn’t tell me in 88 I wasn’t Chuck! Complete with Pirates hat, Raider Starter jacket, batting gloves and small clock, lol)more than any other group. 1987 I became a Black Nationalist (still am!) and have never strayed. As long as you are not harming anyone and you love your people…YOU…ARE…FREE!

🎶 “I ain’t east coast, west coast, new style or old style, you wanna know about me? Check police files”🎶 “The Los Angeles Daily News noted that its lyrical themes ranged from sex to gun violence, and that Ice-T implicates everyone from radio programmers to the police as accomplices in the decline of western civilization." “The album cover, which features Ice-T's then-girlfriend Darlene Ortiz, Ice-T, and DJ Evil E, was described as perpetuating stereotypes" #icet #power #rap #hiphop #gangstarap #og #myrecords #1988 https://www.instagram.com/p/CokggxIOCaR9miZfPgnqHDtsCtKo3JauXJYr1M0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
