Is any of it superior to the verse-chorusverse days of yore? In the opening line of "Bluish," "I'm getting lost in your cause," Animal Collective doesn't profess to be convinced, even if this album is gorgeous all the way through. The tracks on Neve* Better are clearly conscious of themselves as songs. A drum jam and a growling electric guitar define the frantic pace of the raps on "Drumroll." Jimi Hendrix-style blues-rock opens "Been Afraid," just before pounding beats recall Public Enemy's "Fight the Power. The best track on the album is "Low Light Low Life," an adrenaline-fueled anthem to lost opportunities backed by the swagger of horn riffs. The lyrics are biting social commentary ready to take aim at Wall Street and Main Street: "It seems we're falling out of favor / The era ende...

Another multi platinum rapper jumps on the positive rap bandwagon, Master-P, President and founder of No Limit records vows to clean up the lyrics of hip hop, Master P along with his son Romeo has started "Take A Stand Records" which is centered around producing conscious rap.

Public Enemy hit the stage with same fire and intensity that they had 20 years ago. As Flavor Flav and Chuck D ran across the stage, it was reminiscent of a powerful past that many of today's youth never knew. Prof. Griff and the S1W provided intensity and security. Master MC Chuck D laid it down on classic tracks "Fight the Power," "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos," "Welcome to the Terrordome," "Can't Truss It/Move" and many more golden-age classics. The progenitor of the Hype Man, Flavor Flav added his unique flavor with cuts such as "911 is a Joke" and "Don't Believe the Hype." While some members of the New Black Panther Party slammed Flav with "Slava Slave," Flav's energy kept the crowd moving and Chuck's lyrics kept the minds moving. As always, the politics was the rule of the day.

The scholarship on Brown generally references his narratives largely to find his agency elsewhere-in his spectacular performances on the antislavery lecture circuit, where Brown restaged his escape in the box and displayed his moving panorama, Henry Box Brown's Mirror of Slavery, and beyond, as Brown presented himself at various times as an African Prince, as "King of all Mesmerizers," and as "Prof. H. Box Brown," the magician (Ruggles 158, 167).2 In this way Brown can be recognized as a particularly creative performer who negotiated a kind of freedom by playing with and against the racial assumptions of American and British culture. Well aware of the cultural order that both resulted from and secured white dominance, Brown reports in the introduction of his 1851 Narrative that, though...
