'Anche le ragazze si masturbano? Guardare il porno fa male? Quando capiamo che siamo pronte per fare sesso? Tutte le ragazze hanno la clitoride? L'omosessualità è una malattia?': sono queste e molte altre le domande - sincere e spontanee - poste dalla Generazione Z alla loro guru e icona di stile Chadia Rodriguez nel libro che avete fra le mani. Fra le sue pagine coloratissime infatti Chadia, vestendo i panni della migliore amica che tutti vorremmo avere al nostro fianco, ha scelto di fare quello che nessun adulto si sognerebbe di cominciare: parlare di sesso, anche quello esplicito e disinibito, senza retorica, ipocrisie e pregiudizi. Perché nel sesso, ci dice, niente è davvero sbagliato se ci procura piacere e se teniamo la mente aperta e abbandoniamo falsi moralismi. Con il suo stile diretto e disinvolto, e con la consulenza costante di un team di psicologi e sessuologi, Chadia Rodriguez accompagna i lettori e le lettrici in un viaggio davvero poco convenzionale alla scoperta del nostro corpo, di una sessualità libera da vincoli e da stereotipi, per trovare o ritrovare il nostro piacere e viverlo in piena libertà e consapevolezza. Chadia Rodriguez, irriverente, provocatrice e modernissima tanto sulla scena della musica trap italiana - che ha rivoluzionato con i suoi testi dirompenti - quanto nella vita reale, si mostra ora in una veste inedita e irresistibile. Nato come programma televisivo su Discovery e approdato finalmente in libreria, tra consigli, aneddoti, domande, dubbi e confessioni questo originale manuale di educazione al piacere è il manifesto liberatorio che stavamo aspettando.

Dalle anguste case diroccate nei sobborghi di Atlanta, la musica trap ha conquistato in meno di vent'anni tutto il mondo, influenzando molti aspetti della cultura giovanile quali il linguaggio, l'abbigliamento e i consumi. Con la partecipazione di alcuni fra i maggiori artisti sulla scena trap italiana - Lazza, Vegas Jones, Ketama126, Ernia, Beba e Maruego - il libro racconta gli argomenti prediletti (i soldi, il "blocco", le sostanze, lo stile, le donne e il linguaggio) sui quali questa musica ha edificato il proprio successo. Riccamente illustrato e aperto da un'introduzione storica utile a contestualizzarne le origini, il volume è corredato da diversi box che contengono citazioni, aneddoti, canzoni chiave e i "dissing", ovvero i più famosi litigi. La doppia prefazione di TM88 ed Emis Killa, il contributo di Filippo Agostinelli e la copertina di Moab, uno dei grafici italiani più noti nel "Trap Game", ne fanno un must per tutti gli appassionati del genere.

Marz Banx, the legendary MC, is lamenting what it means to be in the rap game at the age of forty. Feeling like the game has passed him by and becoming more focused on his daughter, Jazz, he decides to interview for a job as a college professor in Nashville to be closer to her. While Marz is planning his escape from New York, he also finds himself trying to help his daughter get through her Sweet Sixteen, while she deals with her own issues. This, coupled together with his unrelenting feelings for the married mother of his daughter, only makes the birthday weekend that much more potentially explosive.

This collection of essays critically engages with factors relating to black urban life and cultural representation in the post-civil rights era, using Ice-T and his myriad roles as musician, actor, writer, celebrity, and industrialist as a vehicle through which to interpret and understand the African American experience. Over the past three decades, African Americans have faced a number of new challenges brought about by changes in the political, economic and social structure of America. Furthermore, this vastly changed social landscape has produced a number of resonant pop-cultural trends that have proved to be both innovative and admired on the one hand, and contentious and divisive on the other. Ice-T's iconic and multifarious career maps these shifts. This is the first book that, taken as a whole, looks at a black cultural icon's manipulation of (or manipulation by?) so many different forms simultaneously. The result is a fascinating series of tensions arising from Ice-T's ability to inhabit conflicting pop-cultural roles including: 'hardcore' gangsta rapper and dedicated philanthropist; author of controversial song Cop Killer and network television cop; self-proclaimed 'pimp' and reality television house husband. As the essays in this collection detail, Ice-T's chameleonic public image consistently tests the accepted parameters of black cultural production, and in doing so illuminates the contradictions of a society erroneously dubbed 'post-racial'.

Although rap music is famous for its ingenuity, double entendres and clever turns of phrase, until now no one has attempted to collect rap lyrics into an organised compendium. Enter UNDERSTAND RAP, a very funny pop-cultural reference book based on the website of the same name, which precisely explains all the confusing terms and lyrics used in rap songs in a language even the most un-hip person can understand. The result is a book with breakout potential that's both entertaining and highly informative. The juxtaposition of dry, academic manner with Hip Hop terminology in UNDERSTAND RAP frequently lends itself to ironic comedy gold. For example: Lyric: "been servin' since you was doin' the runnin' man" Explanation: My experience selling drugs began long ago, while you were still concerning yourself with immature things like doing goofy dances where you look like you're running in place. (From Song: Rubberband Man on Album: Trap Muzik by Artist: T.I.) Understand Rap features hip hop artists of all names, colours, and creeds and organise their lyrics into the following categories: Cars, Money, Drugs/Alcohol, People, Places, Fashion, Crime/Weapons, Insults, Skills/Pride and Sex/Relationships.

Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Musikpädagogik, Note: 1,0, Universität der Künste Berlin (Musikdidaktik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit bietet anregende Möglichkeiten, sich dem Thema Hip-Hop projektorientiert auf unterschiedliche Weise zu nähern. Sie stellt das Projekt (nach Karl Frey), den Projektgedanken (nach John Dewey und William Heard Kilpatrick) und Handlungsorientierten Unterricht (nach Herbert Gudjons) vor. Ebenso stellt sie die Entstehung und Entwicklung des Hip-Hop dar von den 1970er Jahren (Grandmaster Flash, Cool DJ Herc) bis heute dar. Der Autor bietet verschiedene Projektideen (nach der Produktionsdidaktik von Christopher Wallbaum) zum Thema Hip-Hop mit an. Die Jugendlichen von heute und damit die Schüler stehen einer immer größer werdenden Auswahl an Musik gegenüber. Populäre Musik ist allgegenwärtig und die dominierende Musikform unserer Zeit. Ständig werden neue Stile geprägt oder vorhandene weiterentwickelt. Ebenso schnell, wie sie entstanden, verschwinden viele davon wieder. Das gilt für Hip-Hop und Rap nicht. Seit Entstehen der Jugendkultur Hip-Hop Mitte der siebziger Jahre in New York und der Verbreitung in der Öffentlichkeit seit 1979 hat sich diese Kultur zu einer festen, sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Musikrichtung und Lebenseinstellung und somit zu einer der wichtigsten Jugendkulturen unserer Zeit etabliert. Diese Sparte stellt eines der meistumsetzenden Segmente der Tonträgerindustrie dar und wird vornehmlich von Jugendlichen, also insbesondere Schülern, gehört. Hip-Hop ist heute weltweit in allen Medien vom Film bis zur Werbung präsent und hat sich somit zu einem globalen Phänomen zwischen Mainstream und Untergrund entwickelt. Auch das Projekt hat als Unterrichtsform nach wie vor Konjunktur. Im Zeitalter der Informationen wird es zunehmend wichtiger, dass Schülern die Gelegenheit gegeben wird, authentische Erfahrungen mit der Wirklichkeit zu machen und sie nicht nur durch Betrachten, Hören oder Lesen zu vermitteln. Ob und in welcher Weise sich der Projektgedanke und die ihm zugehörigen Unterrichtsmethoden eignen, Erfahrungen mit der Herstellung von Handlungsprodukten im Musikunterricht zu machen, ist ein Thema der Arbeit. Welche Handlungsprodukte sind möglich? Welche Voraussetzungen herrschen auf Schüler- bzw. Lehrerseite? Welche Hilfsmittel didaktischer, methodischer und technischer Art stehen dem interessierten Lehrer zur Verfügung? Welche ästhetischen Anforderungen soll, muss oder kann ein von Schülern und Lehrer(n) hergestelltes Produkt erfüllen? Wozu sollen Produkte überhaupt gut sein, welche Lernerfahrungen können sie vermitteln?
