It has been more than thirty-five years since the first commercial
recordings of hip-hop music were made. This Companion, written by
renowned scholars and industry professionals reflects the passion
and scholarly activity occurring in the new generation of hip-hop
studies. It covers a diverse range of case studies from Nerdcore
hip-hop to instrumental hip-hop to the role of rappers in the Obama
campaign and from countries including Senegal, Japan, Germany,
Cuba, and the UK. Chapters provide an overview of the 'four
elements' of hip-hop - MCing, DJing, break dancing (or breakin'),
and graffiti - in addition to key topics such as religion, theatre,
film, gender, and politics. Intended for students, scholars, and
the most serious of 'hip-hop heads', this collection incorporates
methods in studying hip-hop flow, as well as the music analysis of
hip-hop and methods from linguistics, political science, gender and
film studies to provide exciting new perspectives on this rapidly
developing field.
