Composition and hip hop may seem unrelated, but the connection isn’t hard to make: Hip hop and rap rely on a complex of narrative practices that have clear ties to some of the best American essay writing.  A Hip Hop Reader brings together work by important writers about this cultural phenomenon and provides lively selections that represent a variety of styles and interests.

The book is a collection of essays from various writers on hip-hop. The reader gets the benefit of perspectives from musicians, scholars, writers, and the "average" person. It is a good resource for fans of hip-hop as well as teachers, professors, scholars, etc. One of the best benefits of this book is that each chapter has a series of questions to focus the reader on key ideas of the essays and discussions. The editors also present ideas and aspects that need further research. Some articles may be a bit dated but still useful.

Using this book for English 101 has been an amazing journey, and reintroduction to school, for this old broad! Well written, and highly recommended for anyone interested in hip hop music!

Crazy point of view
