The New Hnic The Death Of Civil Rights And The Reign Of Hip Hop Todd Boyd by Todd Boyd 9780814798959, 0814798950 instant download after payment.

Although I am not impressed w/ the "N" word, as does the author, one has to respect Todd Boyd for being one of few from the older generation for analysing the so called Hip Hop generation and contemporay Black American youth in general from a historical standpoint. No one can deny that the Civil Rights Movement became less relevant among Black Youth during the rise of the 1970 Pro Black Power Era (The Black Panthers, Nation Of Islam, 5 Percenters, Malcom X, ect.) Even Martin Luther King recognized the presence of SNCC, and even moved beyond race matters to engage in international affairs (Vietnam, Aparthied, Biafra Civil Wars). However, very little, if anything, has been mentioned about how the Pro Black Era was instrumental in influencing Hip Hop w/ the decline of the "We Shall Overcome" assimilation fantasies. Nothing cited about the popularity of featuring Black Nationalism speeches over hard core production (Ava Muhammad, Malcon X, Louis Farrakhan), the raised consciousness of Garveyism, the African Medallions or how many White journalist were caught off gaurd for attempting to challenge artist they thought were "stupid" (Chuck D., Sistah Souljah, Wise Intelligent). Not even any mention about social activism w/ P.Diddy's Daddy's House, Russell Simmons and LL Cool J's SUCCESFUL campaign for Black youth to speak out againsts outdated school books in New York, or how Jay-Z donated THOUSANDS of dollars in procedes from his concert to families of Columbine victims (of which will never reach newspapers). More also could have been addressed on Hip Hop's presence from a global prespective such as it's influence on the Black youth of South Africa-Post Aparthied or Africa in general. He does address a few points, such as the critics of Hip Hop who blame it for the ills of society while turning a blind eye on comprimising Knee-Grow "leadership" and church curruption that has done a great job (unfortunately)of turning many Black Americans into "Sheep-ple", or differences on how White Americans are offered a free pass as individuals for equal immoral acts Black Americans (who are *not* monolithic) are often made to pay as a group. This is just a good read and necessary for a good discussion on Hip Hop and the parities between the current generation and thier parents.
