Synopsis

Post hip hop n: 1. a period of great transition for a new generation of youth searching for deeper understanding of themselves in a context outside of the hip-hop monopoly 2. An assertion that encapsulates this generation's broad range of abilities and ideas and incorporates recent social advances (i.e., the women's movement, gay rights) that hip hop has refused to acknowledge or respect.Post hip hop is not about the death of rap, but the birth of a new movement propelled by a paradigm shift often felt in the crowded spoken-word joints in North Philadelphia, the krump-dance dance-offs in Compton, and on a tattered stoop of Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. "It's Bigger Than Hip Hop" details how hip hop has changed and how this generation of youth is giving birth to a new movement.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"It's Bigger Than Hip Hop" is a bold look at a new generation that sees beyond the smoke and mirrors of corporate-manufactured hip hop and is building a movement that will change not only the face of pop culture, but the world. M.K. Asante, Jr., uses hip hop as a springboard for a larger discussion about the urgent social and political issues of today. Through insightful anecdotes, scholarship, hip hop lyrics, personal encounters, art, and conversations with youth across the globe as well as icons such as Chuck D and Maya Angelou, Asante illuminates a shift that can be felt in the crowded spoken-word joints in post-Katrina New Orleans, seen in the rise of youth-led organizations committed to social justice, and heard around the world chanting 'It's bigger than hip hop'.
