“I’M A Biracial Person Who Looks White In A Black Man’S Rap Game”: Exploring Expressions Of Multiracialized Masculine Vulnerability In Logic’S “Everybody”, Matthew Oware Oct 2026

“I’M A Biracial Person Who Looks White In A Black Man’S Rap Game”: Exploring Expressions Of Multiracialized Masculine Vulnerability In Logic’S “Everybody”, Matthew Oware

Sociology and Anthropology Faculty Publications

The field of Black vulnerability studies includes analyses of Black men rap artists’ sexual debut, romantic relationships, mental stress, self-medication, and suicidal thoughts. I expand this analysis to Black-white mixed-race men who express emotional vulnerability regarding their racial identities. Using a case study of the song “Everybody” by Logic—a Black and white, mixed-race man—I find that Logic expresses joy and pride in his Black and biracial identity. Similarly, I observe that he expresses anger and frustration toward those who question, dismiss, or degrade his Black and biracial identities, a pattern paralleled in research on multiracial individuals. By analyzing his radio …

Love, Liability, And Lyrics, Jess Flanigan Aug 2026

Love, Liability, And Lyrics, Jess Flanigan

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

Moralistic responses to Swift’s honest songwriting are misguided. Swift’s songwriting is morally similar to poetry and literary autofiction. As long as the artist’s work is honest and not defamatory, the artist’s interest in self-understanding and entitlement to self-expression is a sufficient defense for the art. The argument has three parts. The first part establishes that honest songwriting about someone is an act of love, even when it’s unflattering to the person who is mentioned in the song. Like many acts of love, honest songwriting might cause suffering. That doesn’t mean it isn’t an act of love. The second part establishes …


Boss Up/Bake Bread, Jess Flanigan Aug 2026

Boss Up/Bake Bread, Jess Flanigan

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

Taylor Swift’s “Wi$h Li$t” describes people who “want it all.” There, she declares that, in contrast to those who want it all, she dreams about living a quiet life with a driveway and a basketball hoop. This chapter argues that dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop while staying married to the hustle is still a form of wanting it all. Like Swift, and me, many other women today enjoy a degree of autonomy and material abundance that our grandmothers could only dream about. We’re free to boss up or settle down. But still, we have to make trade-offs. …
