Abstract
As a transnational phenomenon, rap music has inspired both critiques of globalization and celebrations of locality within the Global Hip Hop Nation. This article contributes to this discussion by incorporating the work of Murray Forman and Doreen Massey on space, place and time as it relates to French rap in general and the work of French rapper MC Solaar in particular. The writing of Andre J. M. Prevos, Tricia Rose, and others, and analyses of MC Solaar's songs 'Leve-toi et rap' and 'Nouveau Western' illustrate how linguistic and musical vocabularies depict personal, cultural and economic issues within the confines of late capitalism.
作为一种跨国现象，说唱音乐既激发了对全球化的批评，也激发了全球嘻哈国家对地方性的庆祝。这篇文章通过结合Murray Forman和Doreen Massey关于空间、地点和时间的工作来促进这一讨论，因为它与法国说唱歌手MC Solaar的工作有关。Andre J. M. Prevos, Tricia Rose等人的作品，以及对MC Solaar的歌曲“Leve-toi et rap”和“Nouveau Western”的分析，说明了语言和音乐词汇如何描述晚期资本主义范围内的个人，文化和经济问题。
期刊介绍：
Journal of World Popular Music is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes research and scholarship on recent issues and debates surrounding international popular musics, also known as World Music, Global Pop, World Beat or, more recently, World Music 2.0. The journal provides a forum to explore the manifestations and impacts of post-globalizing trends, processes, and dynamics surrounding these musics today. It adopts an open-minded perspective, including in its scope any local popularized musics of the world, commercially available music of non-Western origin, musics of ethnic minorities, and contemporary fusions or collaborations with local ‘traditional’ or ‘roots’ musics with Western pop and rock musics. Placing specific emphasis on contemporary, interdisciplinary, and international perspectives, the journal’s special features include empirical research and scholarship into the global creative and music industries, the participants of World Music, the musics themselves and their representations in all media forms today, among other relevant themes and issues; alongside explorations of recent ideas and perspectives from popular music, ethnomusicology, anthropology, musicology, communication, media and cultural studies, sociology, geography, art and museum studies, and other fields with a scholarly focus on World Music. The journal also features special, guest-edited issues that bring together contributions under a unifying theme or geographical area.
