Reviews

<p> Unique in both approach and scope, this work adds a scholarly perspective to the popular literature that examines issues of black masculinity and hardcore hip-hop as performed by black and white rappers. An example of excellent scholarship that sets new standards for writing on this topic. --Portia K. Maultsby, coeditor of African American Music: An Introduction
