Hip-Hop and Philosophy: Rhyme 2 Reason

There are a lot of questions and assumptions that come mind with hip-hop. Is it too violent? Is it just for the Black community? And is it cool to drop the n-word and use gendered insults? Hip-Hop and Philosophy: Rhyme 2 Reason is a collection of thought-provoking essays that tackle these tricky questions, connecting these cultural issues to subjects explored by the great philosophers of yesteryear. Lauryn Hill, OutKast, and Notorious B.I.G. can unravel the mysteries of love discussed in Plato's Symposium. Explore the link between Run-D.M.C., Snoop Dogg, and Hegel. It's like that, and that's the way it is.
