  With roots that stretch from West Africa through the black pulpit, hip-hop emerged in the streets of the South Bronx in the 1970s and has spread to the farthest corners of the earth. This book examines this freestyle verbal artistry on its own terms. It illuminates hip-hop's innovations in a freestyle form that speaks to both aficionados and more.
