Composition and hip hop may seem unrelated, but the connection isn't hard to make: Hip hop and rap rely on a complex of narrative practices that have clear ties to some of the best American essay writing. The Hip Hop Reader brings together work by important writers about this cultural phenomenon and provides lively selections that represent a variety of styles and interests. This unique reader provides an insight into the history, culture, music and lyrics of one of today's most important cultural forms, always looking at these through the lens of composition. The range of readings included explore hip hop's dexterity and originality-its sensitivity to diction, penchant for puns and other verbal play, and its inherent belief in the power of words to transform reality and empower in the face of sometimes oppressive circumstances. Reading and talking about hip hop allows instructors to bring issues into the composition classroom that sometimes feel too raw or sensitive to address without a specific cultural or theoretical context.
