In the Heart of the Beat: The Poetry of Rap - African American Cultural Theory and Heritage
Alexs Pate
In the Heart of the Beat argues for a fresh understanding of rap as an exemplary form of literary expression, rather than a profane and trendy musical genre. Pate focuses on works by several well-known artists to reveal in rap music, despite its penchant for vulgarity, a power and beauty that is the heart of great literature.
