The Hip Hop Generation is an eloquent testament for black youth culture at the turn of the century. The only in-depth study of the first generation to grow up in post-segregation America, it combines culture and politics into a pivotal work in American studies. Bakari Kitwana, one of black America's sharpest young critics, offers a sobering look at this generation's disproportionate social and political troubles, and celebrates the activism and politics that may herald the beginning of a new phase of African-American empowerment.

Our national conversation about race is ludicrously out-of-date. Hip-hop is the key to understanding how things are changing. In a provocative book that will appeal to hip-hoppers both black and white and their parents, Bakari Kitwana deftly teases apart the culture of hip-hop to illuminate how race is being lived by young Americans. This topic is ripe, but untried, and Kitwana poses and answers a plethora of questions: Does hip-hop belong to black kids? What in hip-hop appeals to white youth? Is hip-hop different from what rhythm, blues, jazz, and even rock 'n' roll meant to previous generations? How have mass media and consumer culture made hip-hop a unique phenomenon? What does class have to do with it? Are white kids really hip-hop's primary listening audience? How do young Americans think about race, and how has hip-hop influenced their perspective? Are young Americans achieving Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream through hip-hop? Kitwana addresses uncomfortable truths about America's level of comfort with black people, challenging preconceived notions of race. With this brave tour de force, Bakari Kitwana takes his place alongside the greatest African American intellectuals of the past decades.

Before there was hip hop, there was DJ Kool Herc. On a hot day at the end of summer in 1973 Cindy Campbell threw a back-to-school party at a park in the South Bronx. Her brother, Clive Campbell, spun the records. He had a new way of playing the music to make the breaks—the musical interludes between verses—longer for dancing. He called himself DJ Kool Herc and this is When the Beat Was Born. From his childhood in Jamaica to his youth in the Bronx, Laban Carrick Hill's book tells how Kool Herc came to be a DJ, how kids in gangs stopped fighting in order to breakdance, and how the music he invented went on to define a culture and transform the world.

But when his mom gets a new job with late hours, he's forced to switch his routine and go to an after-school program at the Boys & Girls Club-which he's not happy about. He likes playing basketball in the gym, but the kids from across town pick on him because he's short. But when Sam joins the club's new Hip-Hop Workshop, he makes friends with kids who share his same interest in music, and starts rapping under his new alias: Spit. The only problem is, he's too nervous to rap in front of anyone! As Spit and his friends prepare for the big Rap Royale talent show, they learn the steps to creating their own basketball-themed hip-hop song and performance from scratch. But after weeks of hard work and rehearsals, will Spit's stage fright hold them back from winning the grand prize? -------- Daniel Isenberg is a creative director at a global sports and entertainment marketing agency and a hip-hop music journalist who has written features for Complex, Pitchfork, XXL, Def Jam Records and more. He is also a Grammy-nominated songwriter for his work on Matisyahu's Youth LP.
