""The Real Hiphop" is a powerful argument for hiphop's continuing salience and centrality to any serious discussion about the state of contemporary Black life. Marcyliena Morgan unearths the socio-cultural particularities of hiphop as a dynamic musical genre and a complex way of life, and she links her analysis to the ethnographic particulars of Los Angeles, which crackles to life from the opening vignette."--John L. Jackson Jr., author of "Harlemworld: Doing Race and Class in Contemporary Black America"
