Hip-hop music, also known as “rap” rose from humble beginnings in the South Bronx to a cultural and economic juggernaut that dominates the music industry and ancillary businesses from fashion to motion pictures and television. The meteoric journey has taken hip-hop from its very beginnings with Sugar Hill Gangs “Rapper’s Delight” in the 1970s and NWA in the 1990s from “Straight Outta Compton” to “straight outta” copyright infringement lawsuits. Copyright law, with all its complexity, is central to hip-hop music from production to distribution. Every copyright doctrine including originality, fixation, joint authorship, access, substantial similarity, and fair use and more is implicated in hip-hop production. This audio visual presentation will explore how copyright law has both shaped hip-hop music production and how hip-hop music paradigms have challenged the very foundations of copyright doctrine. It will also explore how the treatment of hip-hop artists at the bottom can inform the debate over copyright reform, looking--and listening to the music behind disputes involving artists such as Biz Markie, Tribe Called Quest, the Fat Boys, Ludacris, Wu Tang Klan, Public Enemy, Dr. Dre, Jay Z, Lil’ Kim and Fetty Wap. Additionally, this presentation will explore how dynamics of racial discrimination and segregation in society and culture have impacted copyright law in its implementation, and the importance of diverse perspectives in judicial decision-making and the practice of law.
