Description - Phat Beats, Dope Rhymes by Ian Maxwell
The text looks at the many practices of hip-hop - graffiti, rapping, break dancing performances, compositional process, lyrics, music and fanzines - and captures the fluid contractions along with the bodily pleasures that make up the scene. Maxwell shows how these young men negotiate issues of identity by imagining themselves within an international hip-hop nation.
