Whether along race, class, or generational lines, hip-hop music has
been a source of controversy since the beats got too big and the
voices too loud for the block parties that spawned them. America
has condemned and commended this music and the culture that
inspires it. Dubbed "the Hip-Hop Intellectual" by critics and fans
for his pioneering explorations of rap music in the academy and
beyond, Michael Eric Dyson tackles the most compelling and
controversial dimensions of hip-hop culture.
"Know What I Mean?" addresses the creative expression of
degraded youth; the vexed gender relations that have made rap music
a lightning rod for pundits; the commercial explosion that has made
an art form a victim of its success; and the political elements
that have been submerged in the most popular form of hip hops.
