"Hip hop music is one of America's true home-grown art forms and certainly one of her most significant cultural exports, with local hip hop scenes now thriving worldwide. The birth of hip hop music is commonly dated to the release of the Sugarhill Gang's classic track "Rapper's Delight," which was the first rap song to make the Billboard Top 40 list (peaking at #36 in January 1980.) Currently, much credit goes to the Bronx for the "invention" of hip hop: the Universal Hip Hop Museum just broke ground there. This book is the untold history of how Harlem helped ignite the revolution that changed music and American culture"--

Harlem is one of the most famous neighborhoods in the world—a historic symbol of both black cultural achievement and of the rigid boundaries separating the rich from the poor. But as this book shows us, Harlem is far more culturally and economically diverse than its caricature suggests: through extensive fieldwork and interviews, John L. Jackson reveals a variety of social networks and class stratifications, and explores how African Americans interpret and perform different class identities in their everyday behavior.

A thrilling narrative history of how one rap battle in New York transformed American culture forever. July 3, 1981, was a pivotal night for the future of America's newest art form: hip hop. In New York's Harlem World Club, the Fantastic Romantic Five and the Cold Crush Brothers competed, with an unprecedented $1,000—and their reputations—on the line in a highly anticipated rap battle. The show drew hundreds of fans to settle a question that still dominates hip hop circles: Who's the best? In Harlem World, journalist Jonathan Mael chronicles this fateful night of hip hop rivalry and shares a new look at how Harlem helped ignite a musical revolution. Since hip hop first emerged in New York in the early 1970s, artists like Theodore Livingston (DJ Grand Wizzard Theodore) and Curtis Brown (Grandmaster Caz) sought to elevate this uniquely American musical genre by pushing the limits of record-playing techniques and lyricism. The two crews they assembled put on the best shows in a world where hip hop was still a strictly live art form. Even as acts like the Sugarhill Gang and Kurtis Blow became commercially successful, New York's top two crews strove to claim the ultimate spot atop the city's hip hop scene. The battle blew the roof off Harlem World that night, and bootlegged cassette tapes of the match-up sent aftershocks around the city as more fans listened to the legendary performances. Set in the New York of the 1970s and '80s, this book shares dozens of new, exclusive interviews and a treasure trove of previously unpublished archival material to tell the story of Cold Crush and Fantastic's rivalry, documenting one of the most important stories in hip hop history. This is the first book of its kind to focus on 1979–1983 and the legendary battles at Harlem World while connecting the genre's formative years to its massive role in American society today.

"Ghetto Fighters in Harlem World," is the story of The Aleem Twins, Tunde Ra & TaharQa, who rose from the streets of Harlem to influence virtually every musical genre of their generation, and whose mysterious connection to Jimi Hendrix, one of the 20th century's most important musicians, has launched hundreds of folk tales.If you think that the stories of Sean "P-Diddy" Combs and Shawn "Jay Z" Carter epitomize the iconic narrative of the "ghetto come-up" then you probably haven't heard of Tunde Ra and TaharQa Aleem.The Aleem Twins entered public consciousness as Jimi Hendrix's beloved Ghetto Fighters, and this book reveals the surprising depths of that extraordinary connection. In fact, their links were so strong, there is credible evidence that Hendrix planned to severe all his management ties to forge new musical and managerial links with the Ghetto Fighters. The Aleems are convinced Hendrix's death was no accident and this book offers informative musings on that possibility.The book weaves an absorbing narrative of these fascinating twins who have hovered near the epicenter of popular culture for decades, like a pair of real-life Forrest Gumps. From do-wop with the GTOs, and Us, to psychedelic rock with Jimi Hendrix and the Ghetto Fighters, to electronic dance with the Fantastic Aleems, to hip-hop with Captain Rock and Marley Marl, et. Al. Through a charismatic combination of talent, ambition and coincidence, the Aleem twins have managed to enrich several genres of music with the artistry both of their performance and production. And, along the way, they've crossed paths with the industry's leading innovators. How two young hustlers from the streets of Harlem ascended to such influential positions in the music business is a fascinating tale in itself -- But even that is just half the story! Written as a narrative that oscillates between the Twins' alternating perspectives, the story is a stereo reminiscence of a world shared from the womb by brothers born Albert and Arthur Allen into a Harlem family firmly rooted in African-American tradition.The twins take us with them on this fascinating look at Harlem's nurturing past. They tell a tale that portray a Harlem neighborhood buzzing with solid families, very quirky characters (There's "Fat Jack" Taylor, the Harlem mobster; June "Pantera" Vasquenza, the Mexican stripper; there was Busta "Body Bag" Robinson who got his name the way you probably assume; and "Baby" George, another hit man), and varied street activities (like "roof jumping" and playing with bullet firecrackers), while living on a block with an anomalous Catholic Church with also the famous Woodside Hotel. While doing this, they trace the trajectory of a cast of extraordinary characters. Of course, there was Jimi Hendrix, along with Rick James, Wu Tang Clan, Earl "the Pearl" Monroe, Big Maybelle, Frankie Crocker, Nicky Barns, Marley Marl, and many, many others. The twins' saga also takes us into the clandestine and dangerous world of the Harlem drug trade, where they rose high in the ranks of notorious gangster, Fat Jack Taylor. They played a role in Taylor's development of the famous venue Harlem World that provided such a powerful springboard for hip-hop. The links between Hendrix and these charismatic twins were so strong, that the two were able to convinced him to perform at a street festival on Harlem's 138th Street -- a rare performance that is still largely unheralded. This book is mandatory reading for the earth's countless Hendrix aficionados.

The complete story of Jewish Harlem and its significance in American Jewish history New York Times columnist David W. Dunlap wrote a decade ago that “on the map of the Jewish Diaspora, Harlem Is Atlantis. . . . A vibrant hub of industry, artistry and wealth is all but forgotten. It is as if Jewish Harlem sank 70 years ago beneath waves of memory beyond recall.” During World War I, Harlem was the home of the second largest Jewish community in America. But in the 1920s Jewish residents began to scatter to other parts of Manhattan, to the outer boroughs, and to other cities. Now nearly a century later, Jews are returning uptown to a gentrified Harlem. The Jews of Harlem follows Jews into, out of, and back into this renowned metropolitan neighborhood over the course of a century and a half. It analyzes the complex set of forces that brought several generations of central European, East European, and Sephardic Jews to settle there. It explains the dynamics that led Jews to exit this part of Gotham as well as exploring the enduring Jewish presence uptown after it became overwhelmingly black and decidedly poor. And it looks at the beginnings of Jewish return as part of the transformation of New York City in our present era. The Jews of Harlem contributes much to our understanding of Jewish and African American history in the metropolis as it highlights the ever-changing story of America’s largest city. With The Jews of Harlem, the beginning of Dunlap’s hoped-for resurfacing of this neighborhood’s history is underway. Its contemporary story merits telling even as the memories of what Jewish Harlem once was warrants recall.

"'Speaking of People: Ebony, Jet and Contemporary Art' explores the ways contemporary artists use 'Ebony' and 'Jet' as a resource and as inspiration in their practices. Published by Johnson Publishing Company for over sixty years, both magazines are cultural touchstones for many African Americans and often represent a commonality between people of diverse backgrounds. Considering 'Ebony' and 'Jet' from a variety of perspectives -- as journalistic material and important documenters of Black life, as metaphor for African-American culture and as theoretical spaces for Black thought and exchange -- the exhibition examines the magazines’ material and cultural legacy as artists perceive them. While much of the work in the exhibition utilizes 'Ebony' and 'Jet' imagery and text as source material, for some, the concept of these iconic publications and their institutional histories provides the starting point for artistic production. As popular, widely-circulated print publications, the magazines ushered in a particular phenomenon of collection and display in Black domestic spaces. Somewhat analogously, many of the artists included in 'Speaking of People' maintain their own personal archives of these iconic publications. The first exhibition devoted to this topic, 'Speaking of People' features over thirty works by a multi-generational, interdisciplinary group of sixteen artists. 'Speaking of People' includes photography, painting, sculpture and sound works that will occupy the Museum’s Main galleries and Project Space. Artists in the exhibition include Noel Anderson, Jeremy Okai Davis, Godfried Donkor, Ellen Gallagher, Theaster Gates, Lyle Ashton Harris, David Hartt, Leslie Hewitt, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Ayanah Moor, Lorna Simpson, Martine Syms, Hank Willis Thomas, Mickalene Thomas and Purvis Young. Accompanying the exhibition will be a fully illustrated exhibition catalogue with essays by Assistant Curator Lauren Haynes ; scholars Siobhan Carter-David, Romi Crawford and Elizabeth Alexander ; artist Hank Willis Thomas ; as well as a foreword by Studio Museum Director and Chief Curator Thelma Golden. The publication is designed by The Original Champions of Design, New York."--

As World War II raged overseas, Harlem witnessed a battle of its own. Brimming with creative and political energy, the neighborhood's diverse array of artists and activists took advantage of a brief period of progressivism during the war years to launch a bold cultural offensive aimed at winning democracy for all Americans, regardless of race or gender. Ardent believers in America's promise, these men and women helped to lay the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement before Cold War politics and anti-Communist fervor temporarily froze their dreams at the dawn of the postwar era. In Harlem Nocturne, esteemed scholar Farah Jasmine Griffin tells the stories of three black female artists whose creative and political efforts fueled this historic movement for change: choreographer and dancer Pearl Primus, composer and pianist Mary Lou Williams, and novelist Ann Petry. Like many African Americans in the city at the time, these women weren't't native New Yorkers, but the metropolis and its vibrant cultural scene gave them the space to flourish and the freedom to express their political concerns. Pearl Primus performed nightly at the legendary Cafe Society, the first racially integrated club in New York, where she debuted dances of social protest that drew on long-buried African traditions and the dances of former slaves in the South. Williams, meanwhile, was a major figure in the emergence of bebop, collaborating with Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Bud Powell and premiering her groundbreaking Zodiac Suite at the legendary performance space Town Hall. And Ann Petry conveyed the struggles of working-class black women to a national audience with her acclaimed novel The Street, which sold over a million copies -- a first for a female African American author. A rich biography of three artists and the city that inspired them, Harlem Nocturne captures a period of unprecedented vitality and progress for African Americans and women, revealing a cultural movement and a historical moment whose influence endures today.
