I intend to conduct further secondary research into local issues revolved around Racial Capitalism (such as Form 696), as it will reinforce the debate and the unjust actions of Racial Capitalism. I want to understand the topic first, before committing myself to interviewing others. It is a subject I am still to learn more about. Once this is done, I will email my contacts to gain Primary Research as early as possible. I can collate all statements in good time, before structuring them into a debate.

 

Finally, I have not experienced any major disappointments. I understand my subject’s direction and understand that I must continue to reflect on my lead question, to avoid tangents and irrelevant information.

 

The works of Cedric J. Robinson (‘Black Marxism’ and ‘Racial Capitalism, Black Internationalism, and Cultures of Resistance.’) will further inform me on western fascism, providing historical movements/beliefs, that compare with modern day equivalents (J. Robinson, 1983) (J. Robinson, 2019). Paul Gilroy’s 2002 book, ‘There Ain’t No Black in the Union Jack’ will be a very important book to read, when highlighting social/political attitudes towards race in the UK (Gilroy, 2002).

Justin A. Williams’ 2020 release, ‘Brithop: The Politics of UK Rap in the New Century’ explores the substance of UK Hip Hop, its cultural influence, and political discourses (A. Williams, 2020).

The most electrifying times in hip hop are when emcees take to the booth to lay down verses going after their rivals. It feels like these intentionally public airings-out happen about as often as a really good election season, when it is time for a new king or queen of hip hop to seize the throne.

I have decided to enlist six British Hip Hop tracks for the participants to view and listen to. The specific number of six tracks is a deliberate consideration made, as it reverts back to the six emotions associated with behavioural psychology.

The six tracks set out on this list, will potentially deliver a range of honest personal responses. I aim to avoid stereotyped answers, by giving little information on the tracks selected. This will ensure all participants can give an honest answer from their own perspective, without the influence of online reviews, stereotypes contaminating the investigation.

The more honest these responses are, the easier it will be to identify responses in correlation with experiences presented in the gratification theory diagram. Responses will be compared against the behavioural psychology and gratification theory diagrams, where all three outcomes should coalesce as a reliable source/statistic for my debate.

I called these four recording studios in London. Hot Money studios phone line was down, as there was no receiver. Miloco studios had their own policy to keep client information confidential.

Fortunately, I was able to reach the Studio owners for Ondabeat Studios and Nxne Studios. Both were accommodating to my request to interview their clients (artists) and asked me to forward them an email that explains the Dissertation and its aims.

This was requested, so that the appropriate information can be passed on to the correct artists.
