Know What I Mean? Reflections on Hip Hop<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a>GUEST: Michael Eric Dyson, author of “Know What I Mean? Reflections on Hip Hop” and Professor of Theology, English, and African American Studies at Georgetown University<\/em><\/p>\n

The topic of hip hop as a means of social and political expression is something we have covered often on Uprising. Ever since it’s inception in the 1970s in New York’s West Bronx, Hip Hop has been an artistic force that has spread rapidly throughout the country and is now unequivocally a global phenomenon, from Palestine to Cuba and everywhere in between. Hip Hop has many faces from commercial to underground, hedonistic to conscious. Hip Hop has always been controversial and a subject of contention between genders and generations. To tackle these controversies head-on is Michael Eric Dyson. <\/p>\n

Michael Eric Dyson is a Professor of Theology, English, and African American Studies at Georgetown University. He has written over ten books including Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur; Why I Love Black Women; I May Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King, Jr; Making Malcolm: The Myth and Meaning of Malcolm X; Is Bill Cosby Right?, Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster; and Debating Race. <\/p>\n

His latest book is “Know What I mean? Reflections on Hip Hop.” The book has an introduction by Jay Z and an Afterward by Nas. <\/p>\n
