In this provocative book, Boyd suggests that hip hop culture has emerged as a social movement in its own right, replacing the Civil Rights and Black Power movements in influencing and defining today's generation.
Challenging conventional wisdom on a range of issues, Todd Boyd examines the debates over use of the "N-word" and the "get money" ethos of hip hop moguls like Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. He also looks at hip hop's impact on a diverse array of figures, from Bill Clinton and Eminem to Jennifer Lopez.
