3 The Diaz-Kweli Dispute
4 The Diaz-Kweli Dispute
5 Critical Descriptions of Kweli s Flow Robert Gabriel: The ever-hectic flow, of The Beautiful Struggle. The Austin Chronicle, November 12, 2004, 12/237288/; Nathan Rabin: The rapid-fire and adaptive, veteran flow of The Beautiful Struggle. Talib Kweli: The Beautiful Struggle, A. V. Club, Ocber 4, Jamin Warren: His knack for corralling unruly syllables on The Beautiful Struggle. Talib Kweli: The Beautiful Struggle, Pitchfork.com, September 24, 2004,
6 Critical Descriptions of Kweli s Flow Kelefa Sanneh, reviewing 2002 s Quality: the first Talib Kweli album on which the beats hold their own against his overstuffed verses. He still likes smother his songs with syllables, but he now pays more attention rhythm The New York Times, November 25, 2002,
7 Kweli s own description of his flow: 2013 interview with Martin Conner: I had all these rhymes that were written a certain way. And then I would hear beats I would like, and I would literally try fit them interview with Andre Grant: [I] found pockets and grooves in the beats that were unorthodox. And some people it might have sounded off beat.
8 An early flow: Don t Let Up (Kweli and Planet Asia, 2000), conclusion of verse two: You ain't got sweat the nice money, ain t no need promise me With one rhyme I probably could break down your whole psychology Niggas is Hollywood like the church of Scienlogy If I drop African thought they probably would lie and say it's Greek philosophy

10 Annotating syllable onsets None of the lyrical rhythms are repeated in any predictable pattern, making the rapping come across more like speech that happens take place over sampled music than like the stylized rhythms of earlier song s like [Kurtis Blow s] Basketball (Adams 2009, 20)
11 Annotating syllable onsets
12 Annotating syllable onsets Example 1: Don t Let Up, you ain t got sweat in PRAAT
13 Annotating syllable onsets Example 1: Don t Let Up, you ain t got sweat in PRAAT
14 Annotating syllable onsets Example 3: Don t Let Up, you ain t got sweat mixed audio
15 Annotating syllable onsets Example 4: a capella and mixed version of put in my partnership with artists who put they heart in it.
16 Annotating syllable onsets Example 5: schematic outline of time points in need of annotation measure flow-beat nonalignment. e means event, a phoneme found in both kinds of audio. s is a syllable onset, hidden in the mixed audio. b is a downbeat in the mixed audio, usually a clear bass drum.
17 beat(s a ) = (s m b 1 ) beat dur Annotating syllable onsets Example 6: Arithmetic for finding s m, the hidden syllable onset in the mixed audio. Definition of annotated moments in Example 5: e a 1, e a 2, e m 1, and e m 2, two pairs of equivalent points in the a capella (a) and mixed (m) audio signals, as far apart as possible. b 1 and b n, are two beat onsets on the mixed signal, n beats apart. s a is the onset of a syllable in the a capella signal, defined as the midpoint of the initially increase in amplitude of the vowel. Calculation of terms in Example 5: span a = e a 2 e a 1, the span of the a capella track between points of equivalence span m = e m 2 e m 1, the span of the mixed track between points of equivalence. One would expect spana and spanm always be equivalent, but I have found they can vary as much as 5ms per second. offset = e m 1 e a 1, the time offset between the tracks beat dur = (b n b 1 ) n, the duration of a beat scale = span m span a, the scaling facr necessitated slight differences in the duration of mixed and a capella tracks s m = s a + (offset * scale), the onset of the syllable in the mixed track
18 Data Used Characterize Kweli s Flow Two corpora: Thirty verses of Kweli Twelve verses of not-kweli. These are a subset of a genre-wide corpus described in Ohriner (2017). Two kids of rhythmic data: Quantized transcription: syllable lengths are measured in multiples of sixteenth notes. Continuous transcription: syllable lengths are thousandths of beats, calculated from vowel onsets.

20 Visualizing non-alignment
21 Visualizing non-alignment Example 7: Four pairs of waves, with points at zero-crossings. From left right, the pairs have (a) the same tempo and same phase, (b) the same tempo and different phase, (c) different tempo and same phase, and (d) different tempo and different phase. (a) (b) (c) (d)
22 Visualizing non-alignment Example 8: Visual appearance of four processes of non-alignment in hypothetical transcription, (a) complete alignment with the beat, (b) phase shift: each syllable is displaced from the beat the same amount. (c) swing shift: strong-beat syllables are aligned; weak-beat syllables are displaced. (d) tempo shift: syllables are equidistant, but at a different tempo. (e) deceleration: syllables wards the end of a phrase are progressively longer. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)
23 Non-alignment in Get By

29 Example 12: Non-alignment: 6.65 min :55 0 :0 : :50 :10 just just just 3 :45 :15 1 :40 :20 :35 :25 :30 2
30 Example 13: Talib Kweli, Get By, Hook 2, spiral transformation of performed version (left) and version with adjustments phase and swing that minimize non-alignment ( optimal adjustments ) Non-alignment: 6.65 min 0 :0 :55 3:45 :50 :40 just just just :5 :35 :25 :30 2 phase: 0 min; swing: 1:1; :10 :20 : Non-alignment: 1.64 min 0 :0 :55 :50 3:45 :40 just just just :5 :35 :25 :30 2 phase: -6 min; swing: 1.34:1; :10 :20 :
31 Phase shift in other Afro-diasporic music: Cinquillo family of Cuban rhythms: each note in a repeated pattern has a characteristic deviation from an abstract pulse (Alén 1995) Funk drumming: different instruments of the drum set are mostly behind, but vary from 10 30ms (McGuiness 2006). Jazz trio performance: rhythm section typically two minutes (on the clockface) behind the soloist (Doffman 2009). Charles Keil: all musics have be out of time groove (2005) Contrary views Keil expressed in Butterfield (2010), Madison et. al (2011), and Frühauf and Kopiez (2013).

33 Example 14. Density plots of optimal phase adjustment in 12 verses from the genre-wide corpus and 30 verses of Talib Kweli s. The use of phase shift in Kweli s 30 verses (M = , SD = 3.12), as compared the thirteen-verse genre-wide corpus (M = -6.84, SD = 3.78), is significantly greater (t(17) = 3.09, p <.01). Minutes behind Beat Density 0.15 "" Kweli Rap Music 0.10 Get By
