Rhyme's Challenge offers a concise, pithy primer to hip-hop poetics
while presenting a spirited defense of rhyme in contemporary
American poetry. David Caplan's stylish study examines hip-hop's
central but supposedly outmoded verbal technique: rhyme. At a time
when print-based poets generally dismiss formal rhyme as
old-fashioned and bookish, hip-hop artists deftly deploy it as a
way to capture the contemporary moment. Rhyme accommodates and
colorfully chronicles the most conspicuous conditions and symbols
of contemporary society: its products, technologies, and
personalities. Ranging from Shakespeare and Wordsworth to Eminem
and Jay-Z, David Caplan's study demonstrates the continuing
relevance of rhyme to poetry-and everyday life.
