Fantastically Structured Didactically EnlighteningBy Kevin11Through "Its Bigger Than Hip-Hop"; MK Asante Jr. shows himself to be an incredibly gifted writer. Although; some may think that the content may strictly fall upon Hip-Hop conversation; those that are high in thinking and presently conscious will come to know the book as presented. Asante brings his writing full force as he shows why our problems in todays society are BIGGER THAN HIP-HOP and that hip-Hop itself has become a diluted art form that no longer wakes up the conscious but keep us oppressed. Some of the topics covered throughout the book are race; culture Hip-Hop and social justice. After reading this book; many will come away with the principles of being oppressed and that we all; no matter what race or creed we are in this fight together.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Dismantling oppression by "any medium necessary"By dlew4lifeMK Asantes boldness; enthusiasm; and passion for his craft is readily apparent in Its Bigger Than Hip Hop. Through personal interviews with hip hop artists and activists as well as historical references; he educates his readers about Hip Hops roots which traces back to Africa. He also informs about the purpose of Hip Hop as being more than just a musical genre; its an essential mechanism for combatting oppression and seeking justice. I especially enjoyed Asantes creative examples used to express his views.Its Bigger Than Hip Hop details the rich cultural heritage of African American music and how each form is interconnected through struggle and activism; including Hip Hop. Yet; its been exploited by corporations and mass media. Asante points out that this exploitation has driven some away from using Hip Hop generation to define themselves. Rather; he reveals another term Post Hip Hop generation; which can revive the activism aspects of Hip Hop and bring about a positive change for the oppressed.Overall; Its Bigger Than Hip Hop dictates the power of artistic expression; which can provide a light for those seeking to escape the darkness of oppression.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
