This book argues that Hip Hop's early history in the South Bronx
charts a course remarkably similar to the conceptual history of
artistic creation presented in Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics. It
contends that the resonances between Hegel's account of the
trajectory of art in general, and the historical shifts in the
particular culture of Hip Hop, are both numerous and substantial
enough to make us re-think not only the nature and import of
Hegel's philosophy of art, but the origin, essence and lesson of
Hip Hop. As a result, the book articulates and defends a unique
reading of Hegel's Aesthetics, as well as providing a philosophical
explanation of the Hip Hop community's transition from total social
abandonment to some limited form of social inclusion, via the
specific mediation of an artistic culture grounded in novel forms
of sensible expression. Thus, the fundamental thesis of this book
is that Hegel and Hip Hop are mutually illuminating, and when
considered in tandem each helps to clarify and reinforce the
validity and power of the other.
