Ian Maxwell's sophisticated story of Australia's hip-hop scene
follows the lives of a small, influential group of rappers from
Sydney's Westside in the early 1990s. Maxwell conveys the
excitement of the scene and the struggles of the white musicians to
define Australian hip-hop, showing how discourses of nationalism
and community are played out in everyday life. Whether describing
composition in a bedroom, confrontation in a radio studio, tagging
in a subway line, or breaking in front of a stage, Maxwell evokes
the intensity of feeling and the complexity of these key
experiences.
Phat Beats, Dope Rhymes looks at the many practices of
hip-hop--graffiti, rapping, break dancing performances,
compositional process, lyrics, music, and fanzines--and captures
the fluid contradictions along with the bodily pleasures that make
up the scene. With acute sensitivity, Maxwell shows how these young
men negotiate issues of identity by imagining themselves within an
international hip-hop nation. The book is rich in detail and
theoretically innovative, A glossary of terms is included.
