Let the World Listen Right
Author: Ali Colleen Neff
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1628469412
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
In the Mississippi Delta, creativity, community, and a rich expressive culture persist despite widespread poverty. Over five years of extensive work in the region, author Ali Colleen Neff collected a wealth of materials that demonstrate a vibrant musical scene. Let the World Listen Right draws from classic studies of the blues as well as extensive ethnographic work to document the “changing same” of Delta music making. From the neighborhood juke joints of the contemporary Delta to the international hip-hop stage, this study traces the musical networks that join the region's African American communities to both traditional forms and new global styles. The book features the words and describes performances of contemporary artists, including blues musicians, gospel singers, radio and club DJs, barroom toast-tellers, preachers, poets, and a spectrum of Delta hip-hop artists. Contemporary Delta hip-hop artists Jerome “TopNotch the Villain” Williams, Kimyata “Yata” Dear, and DA F.A.M. have contributed freestyle poetry, extensive interview materials, and their own commentaries. The book focuses particularly on the biography of TopNotch, whose hip-hop poetics emerge from a lifetime of schoolyard dozens and training in the gospel church.

Transmission Z What you are about to hear may shock you. It may shake your very foundations. The world around you is an illusion. A lie. Right nowat this momentyour mind holds you captive. Your Spirit stuck in suspended animation. In a state of un-being. You live and exist in a wall-less, empty prison. There are no doors. No guards. No keys. In fact, there are no chains at all. For your mind is the prison and YOU are its keeper. A ruthless, sleepless sentry. Never moving. Never blinking. Always watching. From the moment of your birth, you were fed a lie. A mean, hollow lie to keep you from yourself. To stop you from seeing. From feeling. So effective was this lie, that you now refuse to listen. You embrace servitude. Crave it. And so I say, you are truly a slave. Notwithstanding this, I shall tell you the truththough it may not set you free! You are NOT a random chance of Nature. You are a God! A powerful, holy creature of Creation. Beautiful. Perfect. Your body built for a single purpose: to love and create. Your mind and your thoughts are the most potent and most powerful force in the known universe. Your Spirit is entirely indestructible. You are a timeless, ancient deity able to do anything you desire. All you need to do is wake up. The question is, will you?
