Styled in an argyle sweater vest, glasses, box braids and skirt, she sits on bleachers at a park as she breaks a portable CD player out of her backpack. She then proceeds to spit lyrics about a lavish lifestyle over The Neptunes’ multi-platinum production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of all of the videos she’s posted so far, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZiNf2OnfJE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nights’ version of DMX’s “How’s It Going Down”\u003c/a> has garnered the most attention. With hundreds of thousands of views across multiple platforms, she clearly tapped into something that the people like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the DMX freestyle,” says Nights during a recent call, “I kind of switched it up a little bit by incorporating more acting.” She says she was intentional about bringing more of “a cinematic feel” to the production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video opens with the instrumental thumping as the words “Oakland, CA 1998” appear on the screen. Nights, standing at a corner on the cusp of Oakland’s Chinatown, recites a verse full of clever cadences and nimble rhyme schemes. While the bars are one thing, the aesthetic of the video is where she wins: Donning big bamboo earrings and a pair of baggy jeans, she uses a pay phone to act as if the verse is a message to a man on the other end of the line. The music video is even shot with a darkened filter, creating moody lighting similar to that of the original video, directed by Hype Williams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZiNf2OnfJE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nights was a baby when many of her reference tracks dropped, but through the guidance of her mother, she’s been set on the right path. And now with her own music, Nights is looking to be a continuation of that vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just want to bring them back to a time that felt good for them,” Nights says, referring to folks who miss the music of the late ’90s and early ’00s. “Back when it wasn’t just about Instagram or social media in general, when it was just a fun time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A student of the game since she was a child, Nights looked up to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13953284/nicki-minaj-review-oakland-arena-pink-friday-2-tour\">Nicki Minaj’s\u003c/a> music when she was in 5th grade . Aware of other women in the rap game — Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Eve and others who predated Minaj — Nights fell in love with Nicki’s rhyme patterns and voice inflections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Nights wrote her very first rap to the sound of “Dear Old Nicki,” off Minaj’s \u003cem>Pink Friday\u003c/em> album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 26, Nights sees that by paying homage to the people who influenced her she can explore another layer of her own artistry. And the listeners appreciate her doing so. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>I found a way to kind of grab the audience’s attention,” says Nights, “by showing them another piece of me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After dropping her 2022 solo album of all original music, titled \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/4KG4dClU4DmUtGr9cAzAHX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Thank Me Now\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and putting out two mixtape projects in subsequent years (\u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/1i8NsFPXIr4mJ1vljxFrJt?si=snY-8fg-RjS-MFdi4DdAvg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full Package: Act I\u003c/a> in 2023 and \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/7b8f4dCFRTPXc0YL0zjuEn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full Package: Act II\u003c/a> earlier this year), Nights is on the verge of dropping more tracks for her fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have another Full Package: Act III,” she says. “We don’t have a specific [release] date yet, but it’s done.\u003ci>“\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_PkmlAeS9g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As buzz around her name grows, Nights’ layers of talent continue to show. Earlier this year she performed her original song “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh9yu9UV-5I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From, Your Daughter”\u003c/a> on the major music video platform On The Radar. A month later she was featured on the song and in the movie-like music video for DaBoyDame’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl5KlkyCxts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“Grand Finale”\u003c/a> track, alongside E-40, Symba and Chippass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b2b2b;font-weight: 400\">[aside postID='arts_13966594,arts_13953284,arts_13934715']\u003c/span>\u003c/span>A proud product of East Oakland and well connected to her Bay Area community, Nights isn’t hesitant to point out that her sound isn’t the norm for this region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a combination of a gravelly delivery, punchy lyrics and clever similes, mixed with fly fashion and fully fleshed out concepts for music videos, Nights says, “I’m showing them there’s different versions of an Oakland girl.

Styled in an argyle sweater vest, glasses, box braids and skirt, she sits on bleachers at a park as she breaks a portable CD player out of her backpack. She then proceeds to spit lyrics about a lavish lifestyle over The Neptunes’ multi-platinum production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of all of the videos she’s posted so far, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZiNf2OnfJE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nights’ version of DMX’s “How’s It Going Down”\u003c/a> has garnered the most attention. With hundreds of thousands of views across multiple platforms, she clearly tapped into something that the people like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the DMX freestyle,” says Nights during a recent call, “I kind of switched it up a little bit by incorporating more acting.” She says she was intentional about bringing more of “a cinematic feel” to the production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video opens with the instrumental thumping as the words “Oakland, CA 1998” appear on the screen. Nights, standing at a corner on the cusp of Oakland’s Chinatown, recites a verse full of clever cadences and nimble rhyme schemes. While the bars are one thing, the aesthetic of the video is where she wins: Donning big bamboo earrings and a pair of baggy jeans, she uses a pay phone to act as if the verse is a message to a man on the other end of the line. The music video is even shot with a darkened filter, creating moody lighting similar to that of the original video, directed by Hype Williams.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ZZiNf2OnfJE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ZZiNf2OnfJE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Nights was a baby when many of her reference tracks dropped, but through the guidance of her mother, she’s been set on the right path. And now with her own music, Nights is looking to be a continuation of that vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just want to bring them back to a time that felt good for them,” Nights says, referring to folks who miss the music of the late ’90s and early ’00s. “Back when it wasn’t just about Instagram or social media in general, when it was just a fun time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A student of the game since she was a child, Nights looked up to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13953284/nicki-minaj-review-oakland-arena-pink-friday-2-tour\">Nicki Minaj’s\u003c/a> music when she was in 5th grade . Aware of other women in the rap game — Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Eve and others who predated Minaj — Nights fell in love with Nicki’s rhyme patterns and voice inflections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, Nights wrote her very first rap to the sound of “Dear Old Nicki,” off Minaj’s \u003cem>Pink Friday\u003c/em> album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 26, Nights sees that by paying homage to the people who influenced her she can explore another layer of her own artistry. And the listeners appreciate her doing so. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>I found a way to kind of grab the audience’s attention,” says Nights, “by showing them another piece of me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After dropping her 2022 solo album of all original music, titled \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/4KG4dClU4DmUtGr9cAzAHX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Thank Me Now\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and putting out two mixtape projects in subsequent years (\u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/1i8NsFPXIr4mJ1vljxFrJt?si=snY-8fg-RjS-MFdi4DdAvg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full Package: Act I\u003c/a> in 2023 and \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/7b8f4dCFRTPXc0YL0zjuEn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full Package: Act II\u003c/a> earlier this year), Nights is on the verge of dropping more tracks for her fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have another Full Package: Act III,” she says. “We don’t have a specific [release] date yet, but it’s done.\u003ci>“\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/u_PkmlAeS9g'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/u_PkmlAeS9g'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>As buzz around her name grows, Nights’ layers of talent continue to show.

After he finally got signed by Roc-A-Fella, the rapper was in a 2002 car accident which broke his jaw in three places—leading him to create a song while his mouth was still wired shut, called \u003cem>Through the Wire\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvb-1wjAtk4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The docuseries’ second installment shows Kanye meeting with his dentist, pushing his recovery strategy to get back to work, while also filming footage that would be used in the song’s video. Because his record label wouldn’t spend money on his album, Kanye is also shown recording with friends, including Jamie Foxx, who had a professional-level studio in his home, complete with an engineer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he plays an early version of\u003cem> Through the Wire\u003c/em> for super-producer Pharrell Williams—who flips out when he hears it—you can’t help but wonder: \u003cem>Why doesn’t Kanye’s label see how big this record is going to be? \u003c/em>Eventually, Kanye spends $30,000 of his own money to make the song’s video, with Simmons and Ozah in the directors’ chairs; the video’s success convinces Roc-A-Fella to finally step up and finance production for his debut record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That album—2004’s \u003cem>The College Dropout—\u003c/em>would eventually sell more than 3 million copies and be nominated for 10 Grammy awards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than filling out stories behind Kanye’s legend, these scenes show how the rapper constantly bet on his own talent and vision—even when few others shared that confidence. Whenever anyone doubted his skills or his promise, he was ready to slap a cassette tape in a machine and rap in their face until they got the message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, as his career blew up, Kanye became less interested in having his old friends around to film him. The growing distance produces less intimate footage, turning\u003cem> jeen-yuhs\u003c/em>‘ third episode into a grab bag collection of headlines centered on Kanye’s erratic behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(In one embarrassing moment at a Grammys afterparty, Kanye keeps calling Simmons by his friend Chike Ozah’s name, reinforcing how far outside his inner circle the filmmakers had found themselves.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_49104']Still, there are telling moments, even in the third installment. Simmons and his camera travel with Kanye overseas, where the rapper begins speaking so erratically at a small gathering, the director stops filming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Have you guys ever been locked up in handcuffs and put into a hospital because your brain was too big for your skull?” Kanye asks, his voice’s diction sounding markedly different than in the docuseries’ earlier installments. “I took bipolar medication last night to have a normal conversation and turn alien into English.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons, whose voice pops up regularly elsewhere in the docuseries to add context, declines to explain much in moments like this. Instead, he lets the footage do the most of talking, showing Kanye pontificating in tough-to-follow monologues at a home/recording studio in Wyoming while Justin Bieber looks on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also a lot missing in this final episode, including Kanye’s marriage to Kim Kardashian (and their contentious split) and details about the four children they have together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, this faltering third installment implies rather than directly states the answer to the largest question it poses from the very beginning: What happened to Kanye West?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And is he okay now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2022 NPR.

After he finally got signed by Roc-A-Fella, the rapper was in a 2002 car accident which broke his jaw in three places—leading him to create a song while his mouth was still wired shut, called \u003cem>Through the Wire\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/uvb-1wjAtk4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/uvb-1wjAtk4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The docuseries’ second installment shows Kanye meeting with his dentist, pushing his recovery strategy to get back to work, while also filming footage that would be used in the song’s video. Because his record label wouldn’t spend money on his album, Kanye is also shown recording with friends, including Jamie Foxx, who had a professional-level studio in his home, complete with an engineer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he plays an early version of\u003cem> Through the Wire\u003c/em> for super-producer Pharrell Williams—who flips out when he hears it—you can’t help but wonder: \u003cem>Why doesn’t Kanye’s label see how big this record is going to be? \u003c/em>Eventually, Kanye spends $30,000 of his own money to make the song’s video, with Simmons and Ozah in the directors’ chairs; the video’s success convinces Roc-A-Fella to finally step up and finance production for his debut record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That album—2004’s \u003cem>The College Dropout—\u003c/em>would eventually sell more than 3 million copies and be nominated for 10 Grammy awards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than filling out stories behind Kanye’s legend, these scenes show how the rapper constantly bet on his own talent and vision—even when few others shared that confidence. Whenever anyone doubted his skills or his promise, he was ready to slap a cassette tape in a machine and rap in their face until they got the message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, as his career blew up, Kanye became less interested in having his old friends around to film him. The growing distance produces less intimate footage, turning\u003cem> jeen-yuhs\u003c/em>‘ third episode into a grab bag collection of headlines centered on Kanye’s erratic behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(In one embarrassing moment at a Grammys afterparty, Kanye keeps calling Simmons by his friend Chike Ozah’s name, reinforcing how far outside his inner circle the filmmakers had found themselves.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 2002, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five’s epochal single “The Message” became the first hip-hop recording included in the Registry, as part of its inaugural list. Since then, works from hip-hop luminaries Public Enemy, 2Pac, The Sugarhill Gang, N.W.A and Run-D.M.C. have been included in its catalog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nina Simone’s lament “Mississippi Goddam,” released in 1964 \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/08/683021559/nina-simone-to-be-young-gifted-and-black-american-anthem\">in response\u003c/a> to the murder of civil rights activist Medgar Evers by a Klansman and the bombing of a church in Birmingham, Ala. that killed four young girls, was also added to the rolls.

She was referring to the loss by R&B darling SZA in the Best New Artist category, despite the breakout success of her debut album \u003cem>Ctrl\u003c/em> in 2017. The loss by Kendrick Lamar’s Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate foreshadowed the rest of the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”7FctIg3iAu3HXUgtXuItolE9k4067uR6″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This happened despite the Academy’s attempt to make up for its history of snubs where hip-hop, and black music in general, are concerned. The main event of November’s nominations was the record number of rap artists nominated outside the hip-hop categories. For those keeping score, it signaled that the Academy might finally be ready to acknowledge that the genre’s impact is much broader than the narrow confines to which it has historically been relegated. The recognition seemed to coincide with the rise of hip-hop/R&B — i.e. black music — as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8085975/us-music-consumption-up-2017-rb-hip-hop-most-popular-genre\">most-consumed genre\u003c/a> in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two of 2017’s most resonant albums, Kendrick Lamar’s \u003cem>DAMN.\u003c/em> and Jay-Z’s \u003cem>4:44\u003c/em>, competed against rapper Childish Gambino’s funk-inspired departure \u003cem>“Awaken, My Love!”\u003c/em> in a category rounded out by Lorde (\u003cem>Melodrama\u003c/em>) and ultimate upsetter Bruno Mars (\u003cem>24K Magic\u003c/em>), who also took home respective trophies for Song and Record of the Year (“That’s What I Like,” “24K Magic”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even with the deck stacked in hip-hop’s favor, the genre came up short yet again in the coveted Album of the Year category. But the real loss is for the Recording Academy, which continues to prove how out of step it has become. If the story of 2017 is hip-hop’s takeover, the Grammys, by failing to reflect rap’s urgency, have settled deeper into an age-old narrative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oddly enough, Jay made a record as close to Grammy bait as any, a veteran performer releasing his most mature album to date, wrapped in a vulnerable narrative that features everything from him apologizing for celebrity infidelity to his mother’s personal coming out on record. And Lamar released a record deemed consensus album of the year, a critical and commercial success, by toeing the line between heady conceptual arc and rare pop triumph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The snub makes it explicit that the Grammys is not here for hip-hop. And that’s no surprise. As is often the case, there are plenty of other problems we could discuss regarding Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. The lack of women nominees, in a year when the industry’s complicit silence around sexism speaks louder than the resulting #metoo movement, is a travesty. And there’s no excusing how the Spanish-language “Despacito,” which tied for longest-running \u003cem>Billboard \u003c/em>100 No. 1, failed to pick up a single award.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are the results of a flawed voting process that increasingly fails to reflect the will of the majority in pop or politics. The electorate, in this case, is an aging academy membership in dire need of hip replacement surgery. But there’s a bigger takeaway regarding the Academy’s record on hip-hop that’s easy to miss. Despite celebrated Album of the Year wins by Lauryn Hill (\u003cem>The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill\u003c/em>, 1999) and OutKast (\u003cem>Speakerboxxx/The Love Below\u003c/em>, 2004), a pure rap album has never won the Grammy’s most esteemed category. Without the R&B-heavy stylings Lauryn offered on \u003cem>Miseducation\u003c/em> or Andre 3000’s pop-inflected melodies, a la “Hey Ya,” on \u003cem>The Love Below\u003c/em>, neither of those projects would’ve been primed for the award. Not even Eminem, the genre’s great white hope and one of the best emcees of all time, has won in the coveted AOY category; nominated for \u003cem>The Marshall Mathers LP\u003c/em> in 2001, he lost to Steely Dan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what does it mean? Are the Grammys woefully out of touch, or do these chronic missteps mirror a deeper reflection of America’s inbred racism?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”m3uVq5Jn241snf2khW8w9JVA4MGP65SS”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, in no way, erases the impact of Bruno Mars’ album win. Being a man of color himself, he acknowledges R&B predecessors from Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to Teddy Riley among his greatest influences. But in 2018, he’s also a safe Grammy pick who echoes the sounds of the past with performances that recall an era of black music more palatable to the mainstream now that it’s two decades in the recycled past.

Hip-hop’s relationship with the award show began with a boycott back in 1989. Since then the debate has continued to rage on about whether such recognition matters. From frequent Grammy-winner Kanye West to the never-nominated Vince Staples, rap artists have pointed to the significance of rap being segregated from the general categories. While November’s list of nominees looked hopeful, it was only a reminder of the inherent bias that remains built into the system in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An artist would be stupid at this point to believe in change. Jay-Z reportedly declined the Academy’s invitation to perform last night. A performance on the Grammy stage works wonders for most young artists, but at this point in Jay-Z’s career he’d only be putting on a spectacle for ratings. The most successful rap artist in the history of the genre might not require our sympathies, but just imagine what it must be like for Jay-Z to walk away empty-handed in the general award categories, just as his wife Beyoncé did one year ago. When Adele won Album of the Year over \u003cem>Lemonade\u003c/em>, even she admittedly struggled to accept the award.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”21FhlAhmAEBYUxUYVzNVElaY5edakSjO”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I don’t know if the Academy deserves all the blame. Maybe the award show is a scapegoat for a greater ill. The Grammys’ continued ghettoization of hip-hop is a distillation of America’s longstanding record on race. It’s a woefully offbeat record that black artists continue to remix and subvert. But if the rough and real noise heard in voices that dare to challenge that record — like those voices employed by Lamar throughout \u003cem>DAMN. \u003c/em>or the ones Jay exorcises on such \u003cem>4:44\u003c/em> songs as “Story of O.J.” — continue to fall on deaf Academy ears, those voices will only grow louder. And the Grammy’s will mute its own self-importance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, a show of some sort will go on — whether onstage or off. Because “the only thing more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America,” as comedian Dave Chappelle interjected last night during Kendrick Lamar’s opening performance, is \u003cem>being \u003c/em>black in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

But if the rough and real noise heard in voices that dare to challenge that record — like those voices employed by Lamar throughout \u003cem>DAMN. \u003c/em>or the ones Jay exorcises on such \u003cem>4:44\u003c/em> songs as “Story of O.J.” — continue to fall on deaf Academy ears, those voices will only grow louder. And the Grammy’s will mute its own self-importance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
