Hip-Hop Revolution: The Culture and Politics of Rap
Jeffrey O.G. Ogbar
In the world of hip-hop, ""keeping it real"" has always been a primary goal - and realness takes on special meaning as rappers mold their images for street cred and increasingly measure authenticity by ghetto-centric notions of ""Who's badder?"" This book celebrates hip-hop and confronts the cult of authenticity that defines its essential character.
