“Sampling Soul”: The Mid-Term Exam

j&p — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 16:07:00 +0000

Duke professor Mark Anthony Neal and Grammy winning producer 9th Wonder (pictured left) are using SunMoonChild – amazing song by imani uzuri, amazing video by Pierre Bennu – as part of the midterm exam for their course, ’sampling soul.’ The course is about black cultural production and the tradition of borrowing/remixing/sampling and how it all relates to today’s legal issues of intellectual property rights and copyright law. Since YouTube just removed SunMoonChild after three years this issue cuts particularly close for us.

He’s made the midterm public on his blog to encourage a wider dialogue and wider exposure to the ideas. Stop by and give it a read, comment if you can! )

As a DJ, an artist, a sometime teacher, and the son of an academic, I will never get tired of marveling at the intersection of HipHop and academia. It’s an honor to have my work thought of as contributing to this discussion.

Sun Moon Child…reborn

I just realized that since YouTube took down this video & i reposted a higher quality version on Vimeo that i did NOT post it here on exittheapple.com.
I was in the midst of writing an essay on “fair use” and the future of media when i found myself rehashing ideas that were already explored and discussed by those far more eloquent than myself. i will post links to their books and articles later until then take a deep breath, open your heart & eyes to this digital altar piece i created for the artist Imani Uzuri back in 2007 entitled ‘SUN MOON CHILD’
