Descriere

Analyses the poetics (rap beats, rhythms, rhymes, verse and song structures) of 6,000 lines of rap lyrics to provide new insights on rap artistry and performance. While most scholarship on rap has focused on its historical and cultural dimensions, this book traces rap's deepest roots and stylistic evolution and contextualizes its complex poetics.
