"Call Me By Your Name": Demarginalizing Queer Hip Hop -- Bibliography -- Index.Notions of hip hop authenticity, as expressed both within hip hop communities and in the larger American culture, rely on the construction of the rapper as a Black, masculine, heterosexual, cisgender man who enacts a narrative of struggle and success. In Queer Voices in Hip Hop, Lauron Kehrer turns our attention to openly queer and trans rappers and positions them within a longer Black queer musical lineage. Combining musical, textual, and visual analysis with reception history, this book reclaims queer involvement in hip hop by tracing the genre's beginnings within Black and Latinx queer music-making practices and spaces, demonstrating that queer and trans rappers draw on Ballroom and other cultural expressions particular to queer and trans communities of color in their work in order to articulate their subject positions. By centering the performances of openly queer and trans artists of color, Queer Voices in Hip Hop reclaims their work as essential to the development and persistence of hip hop in the United States as it tells the story of the queer roots of hip hop.Tracking pop.Rap (Music)History and criticismGay musiciansUnited StatesLesbian musiciansUnited StatesTransgender musiciansUnited StatesAfrican American gaysAfrican American lesbiansAfrican American bisexualsAfrican American transgender peopleGender-nonconforming peopleUnited StatesQueer musicologyRap (Music)History and criticism.Gay musiciansLesbian musiciansTransgender musiciansAfrican American gays.African American lesbians.African American bisexuals.African American transgender people.Gender-nonconforming peopleQueer musicology.782.421649086/6Kehrer Lauron Jockwig1986-1263250Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),EYMEYMBOOK9910597898003321Queer Voices in Hip Hop2960391UNINA
