Meet Gizzle, the Queer Female MC Who’s Writing Your Favorite Rappers’ Songs | Pitchfork
▻http://pitchfork.com/features/profile/9945-meet-the-queer-female-mc-whos-writing-your-favorite-rappers-songs/?mbid=social_twitter
The video for Puff Daddy & the Family’s recent single “You Could Be My Lover” both is and isn’t what we’ve come to expect from a Diddy clip. It begins with rampant ostentatiousness, as a Versace bathrobe-clad Sean Combs frolics around a palatial estate, teacup in hand. A macho monologue gives way to a player’s anthem: “You can’t be my girl, but you can be my lover” croons a non-committal Ty Dolla $ign, Puff’s womanizing cohort du jour. The two men are surrounded by young models in tiny tops who seem vaguely excited to be there. It looks like a time warp straight out of 1997.
But then, at the 1:44 mark, a slim, dreadlocked woman enters the frame to spit game to the camera—and to the women flanking her. She’s the MC, not an ornament, wearing a white tee underneath a double-breasted jacket adorned with regal gold buttons. This is Glenda Proby, aka Gizzle, a 28-year-old rapper who has spent the last few years racking up writing credits on songs for top-tier artists like Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Boosie Badazz, Kevin Gates, G-Eazy, Iggy Azalea, Travis Scott, and T.I., alongside Ty Dolla $ign and Puffy, two of her closest friends and collaborators.

Comme tu dit @tintin ca fait plaisir un peu de queer dans le rap mainsteam. Mais musicalement le morceau de Puff Daddy & the Family’s c’est pas trop mon truc. Je suis pas trop fan des distortion mecanique de voix. Par contre le morceau de le1f est vraiment classe. Je ne connaissait pas, merci pour le découverte. Est-ce que tu sais comment ca se prononce le1f ?

Deux articles sur le queer dans le rap, qui datent déjà :

(avec les paroles misogyne du moment, hélas)
Pas fan du Puff mais c’est vrai que dans le milieu il fait partie des plus open on va dire. Le1f oui c’est chouette, mais j’ai surtout adoré C-ORE (Mikki Blanco & friends) en concert c’était juste comment dire ultra waow.

J’aime bien Zebra Katz aussi même si il ne respire pas le féminisme dans ses clips.
(update)
Mr. Morgan created the character Zebra Katz more than five years ago as part of a senior thesis project at Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts.
“Ima Read” was originally recorded as a statement on black culture and performance, a tribute to the movie “Paris Is Burning,” but audiences did not seem to get it. Many people thought he was misogynistic or worse, though another version, a duet with a female rapper, Njena Reddd Foxxx, added some complexity to that argument.

Bruce Springsteen: The Christic Shows, November 16 & 17, 1990 Album Review | Pitchfork
▻http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/22055-the-christic-shows-november-16-17-1990
The new entry in Springsteen’s Live Archives series is the most unusual offering so far: two acoustic shows from 1990 that find him alone onstage for the first time since his commercial breakthrough.
Est-ce que c’est clair qu’il donne deux concerts au profit du Christic Institute ? C’est cet institut qui avait porté plainte contre la CIA pour sa participation dans l’Irangate, et vu qu’il avait perdu, il avait besoin d’argent... Il en parle un peu dans l’introduction de Reason to Believe, après avoir répondu à une femme qui lui criait I love you : « But you don’t really know me »...
▶ Blood Orange : « Do You See My Skin Through the Flames ? » | Tracks | Pitchfork
▻http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/17559-blood-orange-do-you-see-my-skin-through-the-flames
Within the insular internet music world, and the realm of pop in which #Blood_Orange’s music often moves, #Dev_Hynes stands out as a beacon of dissent, anger, courage, and empathy. His social media presence flickers with notes on injustice in pop culture and society, writ large. Last year, he was assaulted by security at Lollapalooza after a set in which he spoke out against police brutality whilst wearing a T-shirt bearing the names of black men and boys murdered by law enforcement: #Trayvon_Martin, #Eric_Garner, #Jordan_Davis, and #Oscar_Grant.
On the somber, pulsating vocal collage “Do You See My Skin Through the Flames?” he connects these percolating thoughts and attendant, mushrooming feelings of isolation and exhaustion through music for the first time. “I have nothing left to give when you don’t notice what’s wrong,” he sings, “Charleston left me broken down but it’s just another day to you.” It follows a voicemail snippet from Talwst, a Toronto artist and curator of Trinidadian descent, telling Hynes, “I understand what you’re going through being surrounded by friends of privilege who don’t get it.” So yes, on this song Hynes is thinking about institutions that perpetuate incidents like Charleston and McKinney and kill black people like Tamir Rice and Rekia Boyd and dehumanize artists like Kanye West, but, more powerfully, he pulls back and names his immediate community—fans included—as complicit as well. The message is simple: A gun-toting racist is deadly, but so is your silence.

et ça
"I decided to visit Georgetown, Guyana for the first time, the town where my mother is from. She, herself has not been back for 30 years, 3 years before I was born. I tracked down family members, including my 92 year old grandfather, who I had never met before. In this video you will see our first ever meeting.
The wonderful female vocals on this track are performed by Caroline Polachek from the band “Chairlift”. Special thanks to Yulandi, Tyrese Gomes, Samantha Urbani, The Crandons & Adam Bainbridge.
This is the first single from my new Blood Orange album titled “Cupid Deluxe”. Enjoy."
“I don’t Give A Fuck” : #DJ_Rashad est mort

DJ Rashad est mort ce week-end, juste histoire de ne pas démentir l’adage qui veux que ce sont les meilleurs qui partent en premier. Rashad Harden est, en effet, certainement l’acteur le plus influent et prolifique de la scène juke et #Footwork de Chicago. Producteur instinctif, éclectique et surdoué, c’est certainement lui qui a permit au genre de se faire une place auprès du grand public et des médias mainstream. Double Cup, son dernier album sorti en 2013 sur le label britannique Hyperdub a (...)
