Download or read book Bedroom Rapper written by Rollie Pemberton and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bedroom Rapper is a book for obsessive music fans who are looking for the definitive take on what’s happened in the last two decades of hip hop, from Cadence Weapon, aka Rollie Pemberton: Pitchfork critic, award-winning musician, producer, DJ, and poet laureate. Tracing his roots from recording beats in his mom's attic in Edmonton to performing with some of the most recognizable names in rap and electronic music—De La Soul, Public Enemy, Mos Def, Questlove, Diplo, and more—Polaris Prize winner Rollie Pemberton, a.k.a Cadence Weapon, captures the joy in finding yourself, and how a sense of place and purpose entwines inextricably with a music scene. From competitive basement family karaoke to touring Europe, from fights with an exploitative label to finding his creative voice, from protesting against gentrification to using his music to centre political change, Rollie charts his own development alongside a shifting musical landscape. As Rollie finds his feet, the bottom falls out of the industry, and he captures the way so many artists were able to make a nimble name for themselves while labels floundered. Bedroom Rapper also offers us a wide-ranging and crucial history of hip-hop. With an international perspective that's often missing from rap music journalism, he integrates the gestation of American hip hop with UK grime and niche scenes from the Canadian prairies, bringing his obsessive knowledge of hip-hop to bear on his subject. Rollie takes us into New York in the ’70s, Edmonton in the ’90s, the legendary Montreal DIY loft scene of the 2000s, and traces the ups and downs of trusting your gut and following your passion, obsessively. With a foreword by Gabriel Szatan, music fans and creators alike will relate to the dedication to craft, obsessive passion for what came before, and desire to shift the future that is embodied in every creative project Rollie takes on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X) once said, In the hectic pace of the world today there is not enough time for meditation or for deep thought. A prisoner has time that he can put to good use. Id put prison second to college as the best place for a man to go if he needs to do something. If hes motivated, in prison he can change his life. Strong blood flows through my veins. It is the blood of my ancestors, which sustains me. They persevered through capture and enslavement, and they triumphed even as they lay in the filthy hatches of slave ships. My ancestors survived the Middle Passage and the auction blocks. One of my favorite female authors, Elwidge Danticat, once wrote in her book, The Farming of Bones, The dead who have no more use for words leave them as an inheritance for their children. This book is for my great grandparents, Arthur and Minnie Taylor; my grandparents Arlen and Emily Whaley; and my parents Lenel Whaley and Walton Stockton. The words of this book are my own. But they originated in the blood of the people who came before me; my family gave these words to me.

When Teddy Anderson's little sister Tina is gunned down randomly in a drive-by shooting, the gangstas who rule the streets in the Anderson family's rapidly deteriorating neighborhood dismiss the incident as just another case of wrong place, wrong time. According to gangsta logic, Tina doesn't even count as a statistic. After his elaborately laid plans for revenge against his sister's killer are foiled by the cops. Teddy soon finds himself in and then out of prison on house arrest, into the hands of Officer Mariana Diaz, the smart, tough probation officer assigned to oversee his endless hours of community service. As part of the innovative rehabilitation program Diaz runs, Teddy is assigned to tutor Micah, a twelve-year-old orphan and would-be gansta.

But even though Teddy thinks he knows it all, he fails to see how Micah's desperate need for love and trust just might have the power not only to pierce all Teddy's defenses, but to save his family.

Download or read book CHECK MATE written by D D Johnson and published by Writers Republic LLC. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Checkmate is a story of a misguided young man who had to learn the hard way that the streets are a myth and they love no one. To most, it’s just a game. This young kid developed a knack for the game of chess and maneuvers his way from a pawn with deadly aspirations to someday being crowned king. He views people as mere pieces on the chessboard—part of the game. Seeing that most of the boys his age from his neighborhood are—in some shape, form, or fashion—part of the game, he knew very few understood the rules and even fewer abided by them. The older he got, the more he realized that he had too much to lose—a tough pill to swallow. And as it is said for most, a true player of the game finds it difficult to throw in the towel, but damn sure doesn’t wanna die, captured in someone’s prison. He then realized that his belief in the false narrative of the game and how it’s to be played is a farce, along with its invisible code. Eventually, he was forced to be honest with himself. There has never been—or ever will be—any honor amongst thieves. Like murder, lying, cheating, and stealing, snitching is also part of the game. The street code was—and in his opinion, is still—used to keep the low-level soldiers and underlings in check, allowing the top-tier guys to stay in their position, at the top, as kings! The very moment that things, however they may seem, begin to shift, people start to talk. While not suggesting that all do, it’s fair to say the ones who stay silent due to their strong moral belief in the G code and keeping their street honor intact are in the minority. Rule 1: Don’t get checkmated Rule 2: If you throw bricks at the penitentiary long enough, know eventually that the doors will open to welcome you in. Rule 3: Know that the toughest and baddest killer, robber, gangster, dope dealer in your hood will set you up for the kill or snitch on you. It’s just that simple…CHECKMATE.
