Based on ten years of research among hip-hop producers, Making
Beats was the first work of scholarship to explore the goals,
methods, and values of a surprisingly insular community. Focusing
on a variety of subjects—from hip-hop artists' pedagogical
methods to the Afrodiasporic roots of the sampling process to the
social significance of "digging" for rare records—Joseph G.
Schloss examines the way hip-hop artists have managed to create a
form of expression that reflects their creative aspirations, moral
beliefs, political values, and cultural realities. This second
edition of the book includes a new foreword by Jeff Chang and a new
afterword by the author.
