4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. I wasnt looking for this book; but; it found me.By Jeff HoganLet me preface this review by saying I know very little about hip hop. Im a white guy from the South. The extent of my personal hip hop knowledge is limited to the Beastie Boys. And; even just then I probably exposed how ignorant I really am as they probably wouldnt even be considered hip hop by many.That said; being an Prime member Im able to check out a free book periodically. Searching for Christian topics I found this one and it stuck out because it mentioned the writer was from Eatonville; Florida which is just a few miles from where I live in Orlando.My 14 year old son -- who is also a Christian is also a huge fan of hip hop. I accepted it; but; had little desire to understand it.The most amazing chapter (so far) for me was Track 3: Interlude: Moving In and Out where Professor Watkins comes about as close to a phenomenological description of hip hop. I felt what he felt reading it.I found the common ground. I grew up listening to another style of street music. Punk Rock. I cant begin to recount the concerts that Ive left feeling a spiritual connection.My fuel was punk -- Professor Watkins fuel is hip hop.I wont pretend that this book has made my ears appreciate hip hop. But; what it has done is removed a bias I comfortably held.For the theologian (or amateur Christian philosopher) youll enjoy the academic investigations conducted in this book. But; for the non-academic his writing is lucid enough that understanding comes natural. Hes able to break down hip hop in the same vein that Mortimer J. Adler broke down philosophy.It is very digestible.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Prophetic Inspiration from this generation.By chris daviePlease do not dismiss Hip Hop because the style is not what you are accustomed to. When your ears are attuned enough you will pick up the deep meaning of the message wrapped up in the lyrics and the rap of Hip Hop. The Hip Hop culture is about Truth. It recognises the many aspects of the unique struggle of their generation; and supports; communicates and protests. These Rap artists are that ordinary boy next door; unexpectedly gifted; inspired;; as were those prophets we can read about in the Old Testament. It is pointing to the politicians; the local leaders;to the comfortably off middle class; and to our churches. It is calling out to us to make a difference. Will we listen? This is a very good read; full of surprises.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. weve been waiting for thisBy DwightThis is the book weve been waiting on. Anyone doing relevant; urban ministry will need to digest the contents of this book and reevaluate the content and delivery of the Gospel message. I cant wait to finish this.
