Alternative Rappers? Another way that Outkast challenged notions of authenticity was through their defiance towards conceptions of performative blackness within Hip Hop. Here, I will use E. Patrick Johnson’s framework, as well as how authenticity is constructed based on sound, look and feel in tandem, to illustrate how OutKast resisted this limited view of Hip Hop legitimacy (Grazian). Perceptions of performative blackness connected to sound, look and feel stem from urban inner-city ghetto life…
rock radio station. The day light outside the windows shifted radically as we drove. Sometimes, it disappeared entirely for minutes on end behind skyscrapers. Other times, it fell right in my face and into my eyes. It felt good. An itch went up and down my back, but by twisting carefully I could get it with my hands. The cop 's question took me by surprise. He 'd been hammering the steering wheel and whistling along to “Black Betty” when he finally spoke. The tone of his voice was casual, as if…
rivalry game. The intensity and aggression of both teams are raised to another level for the battle of bragging rights. Then it is time for the players to give the fans what they came to see. While running out of the locker room hearing the fans from down the hall cheering has that unstoppable feeling that only players can understand. The players of both teams are nervous,…
This could be prioritised by using more powerful systems, such as increasing the clock speeds of servers, increasing server dedicated RAM, changing ISP or by making a system easier to use. The efficiency of a management system is reliant upon the ease of use, the reliability, cost and speed at which it can be used. Investing in more powerful hardware, or using a 64bit server would help…
Idol Gods Of the Ancient World For this paper, I will be comparing and contrasting object pair 5. These objects are The Statue of Osiris, and The Statue of Hercules. Even though they are from Egypt and Rome respectively, I believe they hold much more in common. My hypothesis for why these two objects were paired together is based on their functions. Both Osiris and Hercules were gods admired by many people, and these representations of them in the form of a statue shows how people sincerely…
From time immemorial, human race had wandered the length and breadth of the earth in search of food, shelter and suitable climatic condition. Some of our ancestors had left strong imprints on the face of the Earth to be exhumed, discovered, and deciphered by us.

Upon carefully analysing the History of our past and present we realise that man has experienced cultural crisis, dislocation,…
device, so the common header of the request data is sent once to end user. Because request or calls are made asynchronously, Ajax assists with this on sending the information once to the end user. Newer mobile devices and computers have a lot of RAM and processing power, than older computers from the past and the user network bandwidth. The processing data on the server will minimize the amount of data that has to be transfer to the end users and minimize the computing power of mobile devices…
chairperson of the department of surgical gastroenterology and organ transplantation at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital and editor-in-chief of the journal Current Medicine Research and Practice (CMRP), had earlier stirred the hornet's nest by writing an editorial in the British Medical Journal and also in CMRP about rampant corruption in the Indian healthcare services system. Speaking to Kundan Pandey of the magazine ‘Down to Earth’, he pressed on the need for immediate intervention to check corruption…
Speeding up the operating system (OS) Software utilities can speed up the operating system in numerous ways. Examples of speeding it up by using software utilities include programs that allow the computer memory or processing power to be handled better. The way this works is that the unnecessary processes for your computer can be prevented from running if the user does not a certain process running in the background, the result of this is that the computer performance will run a lot faster once…
“The meaning of Othello’s murdering Desdemona depends on their marriage and their marriage’s meaning is invested in Othello’s blackness” (Little 306). The racism drove him crazy and Iago didn’t make it better. When Iago tells Othello that Desdemona was cheating on him, he thought that his blackness and Moorish characteristics changed her and made her do it because Iago and other characters like Brabantio said it would. When Othello killed Desdemona, his literal blackness became metaphorical…
