Pinn analyzes hip hop to explore how Blackness serves as a framework for defining and guiding the relationship between life and death in the United States. Pinn argues that white supremacy and white privilege operate based on the right to distinguish death from life. This distinction is produced and maintained through the construction of Blackness as deathlife . Drawing on Afropessimism and Black moralism, Pinn theorizes deathlife as a technology of whiteness that projects whites' anxieties about the end of their lives onto the Black other. Examining the music of Jay-Z; Kendrick Lamar; Tyler, the Creator; and others, Pinn shows how hip hop configures the interconnection and dependence between death and life in such a way that death and life become indistinguishable. In so doing, Pinn demonstrates that hip hop presents an alternative to deathlife that challenges the white supremacist definitions of Blackness and anti-Blackness more generally. 606 $aRap (Music)$xReligious aspects 606 $aRap (Music)$xSocial aspects 606 $aHip-hop$xInfluence 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSongs and music$xSocial aspects 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 606 $aDeath in music 606 $aLife 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity$2fast 606 $aDeath in music$2fast 606 $aHip-hop$xInfluence$2fast 606 $aLife$2fast 606 $aRap (Music)$xSocial aspects$2fast 615 0$aRap (Music)$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aRap (Music)$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHip-hop$xInfluence. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSongs and music$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aDeath in music. 615 0$aLife. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies. 615 7$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 615 7$aDeath in music. 615 7$aHip-hop$xInfluence. 615 7$aLife. 615 7$aRap (Music)$xSocial aspects. 676 $a782.421649 686 $aMUS031000$aREL000000$aSOC001000$2bisacsh 700 $aPinn$b Anthony B$0872740 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910987993503321 996 $aDeathlife$94345697 997 $aUNINA
