Hip-hop, like all living artistic expression, constantly regenerates, turning innovation into convention, 'datcourse' into discourse, vernacularisms into commodity or the precious art object. As this second edition of the groundbreaking That's the Joint! shows, hip-hop scholarship has done the same: moving, grooving, breaking, and sampling the best ideas from an interdisciplinary community theater of writers whose insights chart a vibrant sector of the American musical landscape. --Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr., Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Term Professor of Music, University of Pennsylvania A standard bearer text in Hip Hop Studies. Sweeping in scope and rigorous in analyses. --T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Distinguished Professor of African American Diaspora Studies and French, Vanderbilt University
