Thug Life: Race, Gender, and the Meaning of Hip-Hop
Michael P. Jeffries
Hip-hop has come a long way from its origins in the Bronx in the 1970s, when rapping and Djing were just part of a lively, decidedly local scene that also venerated break-dancing and graffiti. Focusing on the music's fans - young men, both black and white, this book offers an unbiased examination of how hip-hop works in people's daily lives.
