Hip Hop - bring the noise by Neil Kulkarni
Bring the Noise expands the best-selling Stories Behind the Songs series to include musical genres. Rap - the most powerful and overtly political music ever - is the subject of this fascinating book. Rappers always have a lot of words, but what are they really talking about? This book examines over fifty of the greatest hip hop songs ever recorded, from the innocent, fun-loving classics of the founding fathers ('Rapper's Delight' - The Sugar Hill Gang) through Gangsta-rapping anti-authoritarianism ('F**k the Police' - N.W.A.) and bad-boy sexism ('Gangster of Love' - Geto Boys) to the multiplatinum sellers of the twenty-first century ('Stan' - Eminem).
Neil Kulkarni has been a b-boy since 1985 and has written about hip-hop for the past decade for Melody Maker, Vox, Uncut, Bang, Seven, IDJ and CTCL magazines. He also has a regular bi-weekly hip-hop column in DJ Magazine.
