Almost twenty years ago I had written a book with the same concept as this one - I am proud to say this version of the book is the first times infinity! The original book was titled "Rhyme and Reason - A Rhyming Book on Rhyming". To summarize, the book is about the concept and use of rhyming - and the fun part about it is that more than half of the book actually rhymes! Along with being a writer, I am also a lyricist, a free-style'er, and a poet. I have taken my over-twenty-years experience within the realm of rhyming and condensed it into a breakdown of what rhyming does and can mean to us as people and how they can help us understand the nature behind words, as they can be seen as people themselves in a way. My chapters include... "Symmetry in Poetry" (an interesting look at visualizing rhymes), "Child Like" (our early-life introduction to rhymes), "Love of Love Poetry" (the romantic nature of rhyming), and "Rhyming's Raison D'être" (a collection of rhyming structures plus some of my own personal song lyrics). We enter a rhyming center where all sounds of words are stored in a scepter - the book you now read the back of is all their intercepter except for the way you choose to interpret 'em. And at the end of reading this... Enter rhythm! I mean, it is a given that we give in to the rhythm givin' rhythms to these rhyming hymns. We see the palm trees and feel a calm breeze as the psalms sing and we know what alms bring... What you hold in your palms ring with a truth that was once understood by a Soothsayer's sweet tooth. As a Master Stenographer and a Poet, I've taken both worlds and used them to strategically break down the very heart of rhyming in all its glory and everything in between. So, enjoy a story that will sing in a scene that you will have seen and are seein'.

Is there too much violence in hip-hop music? What’s the difference between Kimberly Jones and the artist Lil' Kim? Is hip-hop culture a "black" thing? Is it okay for N.W.A. to call themselves niggaz and for Dave Chappelle to call everybody bitches? These witty, provocative essays ponder these and other thorny questions, linking the searing cultural issues implicit — and often explicit — in hip-hop to the weighty matters examined by the great philosophers of the past. The book shows that rap classics by Lauryn Hill, OutKast, and the Notorious B.I.G. can help uncover the meanings of love articulated in Plato's Symposium; that Rakim, 2Pac, and Nas can shed light on the conception of God's essence expressed in St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica; and explores the connection between Run-D.M.C., Snoop Dogg, and Hegel. Hip-Hop and Philosophy proves that rhyme and reason, far from being incompatible, can be mixed and mastered to contemplate life's most profound mysteries.

Ideal for scholars and students of linguistics, discourse, stylistics and language play, this book explores the role of phonological motivation - sound symbolism and rhyme/alliteration - in English word-formation. It argues that the sound shape of words carries meaning for its users and also has a range of social and interactional functions.

"When I was a kid, my best friend was Josh Funk. Now he's becoming a friend to a whole new generation.”--B.J. Novak, author of The New York Times bestseller The Book With No Pictures
