Summary:
"JAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dysons decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper, hes sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist hes been for so long. This audiobook wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z's career, including hustling, and it recognizes the way that hes always weaved politics into his music, making important statements about race, criminal justice, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Zs career and his role in making this nation what it is today. In many ways, this is JAY-Zs America as much as its Pelosis America, or Trumps America, or Martin Luther Kings America. JAY-Z has given this country a language to think with and words to live by."-- Provided by publisher.
