"What does it mean now to 'keep it real'? Is hip-hop ripping society apart? Ogbar shows that these questions--among the many more that rap music raises--are much more complicated than they first seem. Hip-Hop Revolution compellingly examines race, gender, authenticity, and this African American generation's quest for true democracy and liberation."--Jeff Chang, author of Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation
"Hip-hop mogul Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter once rapped about 'Politics as Usual,' but little has been usual since the emergence of hip-hop as a global phenomenon. As Ogbar highlights throughout his thoughtful and provocative book, hip-hop culture is on the cutting-edge of all that matters in contemporary America."--Mark Anthony Neal, author of New Black Man
"A far-reaching historical account of the social, cultural and political influences of hiphop past and present. Ogbar probes deeply into the roots and realities of hiphop's image, its 'keeping it real' mantra, and its rebellious reputation. . . . An important book that offers insight into how hiphop is involved in shaping the future and how forces have attempted to co-opt its most powerful voices."--Marcyliena Morgan, director, Hiphop Archive, Stanford University, and author of Language, Discourse, and Power in African American Culture
