Description
The History of Gangster Rap is a deep dive into one of music's most fascinating subgenres. Sixteen detailed chapters, organized chronologically, examine the evolution of gangster rap, its main players, and the societal ills, gang culture, and systemic racism that created a need for this revolutionary music. Weaving together insightful interviews, the book tells the story through the words of rap legends, including Ice-T, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, DJ Quik, Schoolly D, MC Eiht, and many other influential figures who helped shape the music. Chock-full of photos, sidebars, maps, charts, and more, The History of Gangster Rap contextualizes the importance of gangster rap as the cultural phenomenon it was, is, and will continue to be. --,Provided by publisher.
