Over a series of short chapters, each centered on a different lyric, Daniel Levin Becker considers how rap's use of language operates and evolves at levels ranging from the local (slang, rhyme) to the analytical (quotation, transcription) to the philosophical (morality, criticism, irony), celebrating the pleasures and perils of any attempt to decipher its meaning-making technologies. Ranging from Sugarhill Gang to UGK to Young M.A, Rakim to Rick Ross to Rae Sremmurd, Jay-Z to Drake to Snoop Dogg, What's Good reads with the momentum of a deftly curated mixtape, drawing you into the conversation and teaching you to read it as it goes. A book for committed hip-hop heads, curious neophytes, armchair linguists, and everyone in between"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Rap (Music) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Rap (Music) $x Analysis, appreciation. 650 0 $a Music and language. 655 7 $a Music criticism and reviews. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240416012014.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031843.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220706023016.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013455.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220611010151.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220331010045.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D318086AB0B711EC872AADB14EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
