![]() Bell verses Beck on why pimping makes the most sense for a young black man longing for economic freedom in the 1940s. After landing in jail a number of times, Beck seeks the mentorship of Baby Bell, an enforcer and notorious pimp in Chicago. Later in his life, Beck versed himself in the nonfictive work of James Baldwin and Richard Wright, but his early teachers were novice and successful pimps. Gifford attempts to texture the black women in Beck’s life, including his mother, employees and partners, while indicting a Northern American system of oppression that encouraged Beck and his workers to make a living underground. ![]() While Beck longed for his most popular book, “Pimp,” to be read as a critique of white supremacy and the underground economy it fostered in American cities after the Great Migration, neither that novel nor Beck’s less successful work deal with the ways black women suffered and survived the terror of employment discrimination, restrictive covenants, police abuse and the sexual and psychological abuse of men like Beck. ![]() SIGN UP for the free Essential Arts & Culture newsletter > In addition to providing phenomenally researched material into the life and writings of Beck, including FBI files, unpublished fiction and letters written from Beck to his publisher, Gifford provides us with robust historical, pointed political context for new and seasoned readers of Beck’s novels “Pimp,” “Trick Baby” and “Mama Black Widow.” In “Street Poison,” Gifford patiently crafts a narrative that shows how Beck, a Chicago pimp, became the godfather of hip-hop, an integral cog in Hollywood’s Blaxploitation era and one of the most-read black authors of the 20th century. Gifford’s first book, “Pimping Fiction: African American Crime Literature and the Untold Story of Black Pulp Publishing,” was a critically acclaimed comprehensive exploration of cultural history surrounding the work of Chester Himes, Donald Goines and Robert “Iceberg Slim” Beck. I wanted to provide my 18-year-olds with a context from which to contend with the ways the nation encourages its citizens and the world to make heroic American men out of architects of misogynoir.Īt its best, Justin Gifford’s new biography of Iceberg Slim, “Street Poison,” does exactly this. As an anxious 26-year-old teacher straight out of grad school, I hoped that my first-year students would dig beneath popular conceptions of pimp culture to see how the structural poisons of misogyny, anti-blackness and white supremacy are produced, practiced, theorized - and hopefully rejected. The course was called Narratives of the Underground. I taught Robert “Iceberg’s Slim” Beck’s compact gold and purple book, “Pimp: The Story of My Life,” in my first college class 14 years ago.

If you think about engagement in this way, is it measurable?Ībsolutely. Thinking about engagement in that way inspires a different approach for content creation you want somebody to feel something, not just see it. Engagement, for me, is something that locks in an interaction or exchange. The accumulation of these shared experiences, Solis says, means brands need to pay more attention than ever to customer experience, journeys, and the relationships they nurture.Įngagement is really about Actions, Reactions and Transactions something that I refer to as A.R.T. ![]() He zeroes in on how consumers’ first impressions of a brand often come from fellow consumers sharing experiences online. In his latest book, What’s the Future of Business: Changing the Way Businesses Create Experiences, Brian Solis, a principal analyst at Altimeter Group builds further on ZMOT’s implications. We call this online decision making moment the “Zero Moment of Truth,” or ZMOT for short. At Google, we’ve taken a long look at how, increasingly, first impressions are formed online and have a big impact on what we decide to buy. They matter to people and they especially matter to brands. Stay tuned for what’s next! Give Them Something to Talk Aboutįirst impressions matter. Our first collaboration resulted in a whitepaper that’s free to download, “ Give Them Something to Talk About: Brian Solis on the Art of Engagement.” I’ve included parts of our discussion below. When Google learned of my work around UMOT, the team reached out to consider how me might work together to help marketers better connect the dots to enhance the ZMOT. Instead, marketers must begin to architect, foster and optimize positive experiences in each moment that’s native to each screen, efficient in steps, and tied to desirable outcomes. See, without design, these experiences are left to chance. The future of brands now lies in how UMOT meets ZMOT throughout the customer life cycle. In addition to web sites, landing pages and corresponding SEO and SEM strategies, businesses now must consider how to create experiences in every moment of truth that aren’t just meaningful or remarkable, but also shareable. And in this connected economy, the Ultimate Moment of Truth, or UMOT, becomes the next person’s Zero Moment of Truth, over and over again. In my latest book, What’s the Future of Business, I introduced the Ultimate Moment of Truth, that moment where people who convert an experience into discoverable content in any one of the countless social platforms people use to stay connected these days. Let that sink in because I’ll wager it’s not where a majority of your investments are allocated right now. When you consider context in addition to the screen in the Zero Moment of Truth, you learn that people aren’t seeking marketing copy, they’re seeking the experiences of others to help humanize information and apply it to their state of mind, needs, and aspirations. The information included on web sites isn’t written for you and me, it’s written for the person approving it. Step back and think about it for a moment. The intention of a web page is called into question, or should be, in a time of connected consumerism. Here, it’s less about clicks and scrolls and more about pinching and swipes. In the very least, they go against the very nature of how someone interacts with the screen and what it’s designed to make possible. Once they do, it becomes the norm.Įven though web sites technically work on smaller screens thanks to adaptive and responsive design, they’re still web sites. In the end, it’s just how people make information come to them. But what happens when the web sites that appear in traditional Google search results no longer suffice for someone so connected that impatience becomes a virtue? This is after all someone who begins the journey on a smart phone or tablet tapping review sites and social networks to make information come to them before conducting formal research. In a world where consumers “Google it” to begin their digital journey, ZMOT revealed that brands need to re-think the connected experience and the resulting click path. ![]() ![]() In 2012, Google along with Jim Lecinski published a fantastic book that explored how digital customers made decisions in what Google refers to as “ The Zero Moment of Truth.” The ZMOT as it’s abbreviated, helps strategists discover relevant strategies and tactics on how to show up at the right place, at the right time and with the right content in a digital ecosystem. Build and Drop - Build and Drop is loaded with ecstatic leads, enveloping bass, slamming drums and a range of rises, sirens, and sound effects.Created by top artists and sound designers, Synth Essentials makes it easy to find the sounds you need with no interruption to your creative flow. Synth Essentials - Synth Essentials expands the Core Library with fresh presets for Ableton’s synths and samplers.The result is characterful electric keys for any genre. Special attention was given to making this Pack sound as true-to-life and organic as possible. Electric Keyboards - Electric Keyboards is a new Pack featuring multisampled Fender Rhodes Suitcase, Wurlitzer A-200, and Hammond C3.Perfect on their own or as reinforcement for electronic drums, Drum Booth also offers unique post-processing options and experimental recordings not possible with standard acoustic libraries. Drum Booth - Drum Booth contains carefully curated samples of acoustic kits recorded in a tight, dry room.What’s more, all of the loop-/riff-based arrangement options are still available on the timeline, so you can continue to edit and build on your song, even after you record it to the session view. And when you record your progression to the linear Arrangement View, you add the possibility to record lead lines and other performances that fall outside the rest of the song structure. Using scenes makes it easy to arrange entire songs in parts (verse, chorus, etc). In addition to launching individual clips, you can launch entire scenes, complete with automatic advancement to subsequent scenes, scene repeat instructions, and other logic options. In fact, the songwriting tools don’t stop there. Since everything from modern electronic music to classic rock and blues is heavily based on repeating sections, Live’s Session View makes it an ideal creative tool for all kinds of songwriters. Launched individually, these loops let you experiment with your arrangements, trying out various combinations of grooves and riffs. Clips are usually short pieces of audio or MIDI a few measures long or shorter, which loop to create grooves. Each scene contains a slot on each channel for a clip. Where Live differs from other DAWs is its Session View, which puts individual tracks on the X axis and scenes on the Y axis. The Arrangement View is more or less a standard linear DAW, with time on the X axis and tracks on the Y axis. There are two main parts to Live: the Session View, and the Arrangement View. That largely has to do with the way Live lets you construct tracks and play with audio in real time. Thank you Ableton that you're offering so many ways to make your software more affordable.From the beginning, Ableton Live has been as much a creative tool as a DAW.
