Final Year Project
Project Title
Gatsby, Gaye, Ganja and Gangsta Rap - An Investigation in Popular Culture, Expropriation and Commodification
Description
This paper focuses on the intricacies and historical relationships between popular music and race. Multiple theories and anthropological approaches were taken to write a historical comparative analysis to show a trend in patterns surrounding moral panics surrounding Black-rooted musical traditions, followed up by attempts to commodify and exploit said genres to sell the white populace. The paper applies academic research skills in collecting literature as well as theoretical analysis of various theories and schools of thought such as the Frankfurt School to describe these patterns and how they have been shown by various other scholars as well.
