On the contrary to popular opinions, AAVE has its own grammatical and phonological set of rules which govern its structure. Its origins are not clearly stated, but it is commonly believed to derive from pidgin and creole languages. Its roots date back to slavery times in the USA. Often regarded as a “badly spoken English”, it gained recognition no earlier than 1977. A special thanks goes to professor Patricia Irwin (Swarthmore) for their insight on language stigmatization models and her course LING 41 Dialects of American English, as well professor Jane Chandlee (Haverford), Clare Hanlon (Swarthmore), and Jackson Ramsey (Swarthmore) for their outstanding feedback over the course of this thesis S completion.Īmerican English has plentiful of dialects, and one of the most recognized is African American Vernacular English (AAVE).
Ultimately, the unfair stigmatization of these artists will be made clear. Additionally, I will question the importance of intelligibility in hip-hop music by offering different means of extracting semantic value from an utterance. By using language stigmatization models, explanations for the misguided usage of the term and the criticisms of naysayers will be offered. I will show that Mumble Rap is not used to describe any sort of linguistic property and that this perception of so-called mumbling is simply a phonetic phenomenon that is fairly common throughout any given language. In doing so, I will attempt to refute the unfair criticisms of those that do not care for this new wave of hip-hop. It seems the main Jackson that the fans want to convince about this is Curtis.1 In this thesis I will argue that the term "Mumble Rap" fails to function as an accurate descriptor ofa new generation of mainstream American hip-hop artists, instead being used to mainly disparage its artists, sounds, and ideologies. It seems the majority of commenters sang the same tune of Chris Brown being great, but he is just not ready to fill Michael Jackson’s shows. That dude had grown men passing out at his concerts,” went another.
I love to see Chris Brown dance and do his acrobats and all that but… Michael is still the greatest.” One commenter went as far as calling MJ, “a mumble singer,” further stating, “you can barely understand him.”Īs expected, most comments went something like this, “I love me some Chris Brown but no.
What was a bit surprising was that there were a few comments in agreement with 50. This would have been all fine and okay, however, when you try to dethrone the man considered to be the King of Pop, you are bound the ruffle a lot of feathers. It seems the rap mogul was not out for any blood with his latest tweet and was just showing Chris Brown some love. The comments he made felt like a low blow to many of 50 Cent‘s fans who let him have it on social media. ”ĥ0 has been in the hot seat with the Jacksons before, specifically last month, when he responded to Paris Jackson’s tweet in a way that some fans are saying went too far. G-Unit captioned his tweet, “I would hate to be a R&B ni**a right now this fool better then MJ no. One of his most recent tweets shows Breezy making an almost gravity-defying spin while performing on stage. Most of his tweets are basically comparing the two performers, but he gives Chris Brown the upper hand in the situation. The rapper, actor, television producer, entrepreneur, investor, and internet troll is actually praising his friend Chris Brown. We are not sure if it is because of the same last name, but Curtis Jackson as been chewing at Michael Jackson a lot in recent times.
Our favorite internet troll is on a roll again today. Chris Brown showcase his insane dancing skills which riled up 50 Cent to rehash his Michael Jackson comparison.
