In the Heart of the Beat
Despite its extraordinary popularity and worldwide influence, the world of rap and hip hop is under constant attack. Impressions and interpretations of its meaning and power are perpetually being challenged. Somewhere someone is bemoaning the negative impact of rap music on contemporary culture. In this book, the author argues for a fresh understanding of rap as an example of powerful and effective poetry, rather than a negative cultural phenomenon.
