Rap music from New York and Los Angeles once ruled the charts, but
nowadays the southern sound thoroughly dominates the radio,
"Billboard," and MTV. Coastal artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and
Ice-T call southern rap "garbage," but they're probably just
jealous, as artists like Lil Wayne and T.I. still move millions of
copies, and OutKast has the bestselling rap album of all time.In
"Dirty South," author Ben Westhoff investigates the southern rap
phenomenon, watching rappers "make it rain" in a Houston strip club
and partying with the 2 Live Crew's Luke Campbell. Westhoff visits
the gritty neighborhoods where T.I. and Lil Wayne grew up, kicks it
with Big Boi in Atlanta, and speaks with artists like DJ Smurf and
Ms. Peachez, dance-craze originators accused of setting back the
black race fifty years. Acting both as investigative journalist and
irreverent critic, Westhoff probes the celebrated-but-dark history
of Houston label Rap-A-Lot Records, details the lethal rivalry
between Atlanta MCs Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy, and gets venerable
rapper Scarface to open up about his time in a mental institution.
"Dirty South" features exclusive interviews with the genre's most
colorful players.Westhoff has written a journalistic tour de force,
the definitive account of the most vital musical culture of our
time.
