Danyele Heier on “Brenda’s Got A Baby” by 2Pac (1991)
Update: 2020-09-01
Description
In her celebration of the song “Brenda’s Got A Baby,” Danyele Heier describes 2Pac’s musical activism by contextualizing the song’s lyrics in their socio-cultural moment. Danyele’s podcast is engrossing for her sharp analytic ear and careful research, and important for her goals: to show that rap music can serve as a vehicle for community-building in spite of both the racist social structures that affect urban black communities and the racist cultural structures that provoke criticism of the genre.
At the end of this podcast, you'll be able to hear an interview with its creator, where she digs deeper into her podcast research, conclusions, and production process.
