Drawing on the culture's history before and after the birth of rap
music, this book argues that the values attributed to Hip Hop by
'postmodern' scholars stand in stark contrast with those that not
only implicitly guided its aesthetic elements, but are explicitly
voiced by Hip Hop's pioneers and rap music's most consequential
artists. It argues that the structural evacuation of the voices of
its founders and organic intellectuals in the postmodern
theorization of Hip Hop has foreclosed the culture's ethical values
and political goals from scholarly view, undermining its unity and
progress. Through a historically informed critique of the hegemonic
theoretical framework in Hip Hop Studies, and a re-centering of the
culture's fundamental proscription against 'biting,' this book
articulates and defends the aesthetic and ethical values of Hip Hop
against their concealment and subversion by an academic discourse
that merely 'samples' the culture for its own reactionary ends.
