Genre vs. Identity, Controversial streaming royalties, Missy Eliot
Manage episode 384060470 series 2400036
Music taste and fandom have always been tied to our identities, but today it can seem like musical genres themselves are being replaced by identity-driven scenes. At least, according to music researcher Kriss Thakrar, who recently wrote a piece for the music industry blog Midia Research. OttO Kent invites Christa Belle to the studio to discuss this potential ‘tug-of-war’ between genre and identity. Plus: Controversial changes for Spotify streaming royalties, Missy Elliot becoming the first female rapper in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, rap history slipping away online and new Grammy categories.
OttO Kent recommends you read this piece on the beef between DJ Akademiks and Saucy Santana.
Check out Christa Belle’s new favourite genre Skwee and OttO’s favourite @thealgorythm on TikTok.
