In 1995 OutKast won the Source Award for Best New Group. This win prompted boos from the crowd, but it also signaled to the world that Big Boi and André3000 had just ushered in a wave of music that would change the musical landscape for years to come. Dr. Regina N. Bradley's Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of the Hip-Hop South details how music, literature, and film takes a critical eye to the post-civil-rights movement rule book and the expectations for those raised in the 80s and 90s. Dr. Bradley talks to us about the song that ultimately pulled her into the OutKast universe, her refusal to place whiteness in conversation with Black Southern literature, and how a Google hangout with her friends sparked the beginnings of this brilliant book.
We return to Mahogany Jazz Hall at 125 Chartres Street to discuss the late 90's early 2000s hip-hop group, OutKast. Waites "the bartender" returns as a super fan of the legendary Atlanta based duo. We also feature ideas and excerpts from Regina N. Bradley's book Chronicling Stankonia - The Rise of the Hip-Hop South. The conversation ranges from disputes over the group's lyrical content to the duo's intellectual elevation of black southern culture into mainstream America. Hootie Hoo...
From Bessie Smith to Megan Thee Stallion, Southern Black women have built on a long legacy of giving their bodies a voice through the blues.

In this episode, we will talk with Dr. Regina N. Bradley, academic scholar and co-host of Bottom of the Map podcast about her newest book Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of the Hip-Hop South and her thoughts of how much hip-hop music has grown in the past 3 decades.
In this episode we give flowers to our very own Dr. Regina N. Bradley for her most recent book, “Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of the Hip-Hop South,” and highlight the inspiration, the artwork, the music, and much more! And for a topic this special we had to call in two special friends of the podcast—Jason Lee (of Comedy Central and Bossip) and Yoh Phillips (of Rap Portraits)—to come through and bring Regina her bouquets during this roundtable conversation.
My guest this week is Regina N. Bradley, a professor, author, and Southern hip-hop scholar from Albany, GA. We spoke about Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, the new Mortal Kombat movie, her love for all things martial arts, her relationship with the music of OutKast, their position as the blueprint for modern Southern rap, the importance of Southern scholars covering the music and culture of the South, and excerpts from her latest book Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of The Hip-Hop South, available now via UNC Press.Purchase Chronicling Stankonia via Charis Books or AmazonFollow Regina on Instagram and Twitter: @redclayscholarFollow CineMasai on Instagram (@cinemasai), Twitter (@CineMasai_), and Letterboxd (@CineMasai) Support the show (https://cash.app/$CineMasai)
Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of the Hip-Hop South (University of North Carolina Press, 2021) pulses with the beats of a new American South, probing the ways music, literature, and film have remixed southern identities for a post–civil rights generation. For scholar and critic Dr. Regina N. Bradley, OutKast’s work is the touchstone, a blend of funk, gospel, and hip-hop developed in conjunction with the work of other culture creators—including T.I., Kiese Laymon, and Jesmyn Ward. This work, Bradley argues, helps define new cultural possibilities for Black southerners who came of age in the 1980s and 1990s and have used hip-hop culture to buffer themselves from the historical narratives and expectations of the civil rights era. André 3000, Big Boi, and a wider community of creators emerge as founding theoreticians of the hip-hop South, framing a larger question of how the region fits into not only hip-hop culture but also contemporary American society as a whole. Chronicling Stankonia reflects the ways that culture, race, and southernness intersect in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although part of southern hip-hop culture remains attached to the past, Bradley demonstrates how younger southerners use the music to embrace the possibility of multiple Souths, multiple narratives, and multiple points of entry to contemporary southern Black identity. Dr. Regina N. Bradley is an alumna Nasir Jones HipHop Fellow at Harvard University and an Assistant Professor of English and African Diaspora Studies at Kennesaw State University Check out Bradley's podcast about Southern hip-hop, Bottom of the Map.
