Cynthia Biggs is one of the last of the renaissance women: grand
artist, exemplary teacher and superb scholar. Her musical artistry
has sustained many of us in the works of Patti LaBelle, the
Stylistics, the Jones Girls and Teddy Pendergrass. Her inspiring
teaching has touched thousands of students in the USA and abroad.
And her first-rate scholarship is manifest in this pioneering book
on Hip Hop, plutocratic capitalism and empire. This book is
profound, poignant and provocative. It takes seriously a subtle
class analysis of American society that serves as the backdrop for
probing the complex cultural phenomena known as Hip Hop. It takes
us into the intimate worlds of Hip Hop artists by means of
interviews and lyrical expressions. And it challenges us to keep
track of progressive and prophetic artists in the present age of
Obama. I am blessed to be a genuine friend, colleague and comrade
of this grand artist, exemplary teacher and superb scholar in her
quest for beauty and crusade for justice. Cornel West, Princeton
