For a long time, rappers and other artists in the world of Hip Hop
have led dual lives: loved and adored by public audiences globally,
but largely passed over, if not ignored, by those who might seek to
academically understand how and how such music works in the first
place. Although rappers' skills are appreciated by millions of fans
worldwide, the methods that are used to understand those same
talents have not kept pace with the staggering genius of these
artists themselves. A thorough explanation of the music genre of
rap that updates traditional musical principles in a natural and
fitting way is exactly what's needed to correct these differences
between public and scholarly opinion. In here introducing such
reinventions of well-established tools, like a rethinking of music
notation's true purpose, the author poses challenging questions to
the public understanding of rap music with an analytical foundation
that's firmly built on a corpus of 135 songs from a group of over
50 artists like Eminem, Kanye West, and Jean Grae. Building off of
Martin Connor's decade of experience in both the journalism and
scholarly arena, the answers that Connor arrives at are likely to
be the motivating factors behind any ongoing discourse that tries
to explain and describe rap, if not the shaper of such
conversations.
