Description
The poetry of hip hop is often overlooked in favour of its more showy aspects. However, it's the lyrics that truly define the genre. Book of Rhymes explores America's lesser-known poets by examining their complex craft and giving them the respect they deserve as lyricists. Adam Bradley argues that a new world of rhythm and rhyme awaits us if we approach rap with fresh ears and eyes. This book is an updated exploration of hip hop's evolution, shedding light on its most memorable artists and uncovering the hidden poetry within their lyrics. By unpacking the language and techniques of these pioneering poets, Book of Rhymes offers a unique perspective on the art form.
