Understand Rap – William Buckholz

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=19507326

Based on the website of the same name, Understand Rap precisely explains the lyrics and terms used in rap songs with language that even the most un-hip person can understand. The academic tone here contrasts with hip-hop terminology for a hilarious and read that de-mystifies the double entendres, clever turns of phrase, and general ingenuity that didn’t make sense on the first few listens. Seriously – don’t front like you already know.
