| Abstract | Examining rap history's most memorable lyricists and their inimitable techniques, the author argues that we must understand rap as poetry or miss the vanguard of poetry today. This book explores America's least understood poets, unpacking their surprisingly complex craft, and according rap poetry the respect it deserves. |
