Pressestimmen
"The editors have been bold and often brilliant. . . . "The Anthology of Rap" is as ambitious and intelligent as anyone might want, and more enjoyable than anyone might think. . . . If you want to hear how the latter part of the twentieth century sounded, you can''t do better than this book."--Kevin Young, "Bookforum"--Kevin Young "Bookforum "
Kurzbeschreibung
From the school yards of the South Bronx to the tops of the Billboard charts, rap has emerged as one of the most influential cultural forces of our time. In "The Anthology of Rap", editors Adam Bradley and Andrew DuBois demonstrate that rap is also a wide-reaching and vital poetic tradition born of beats and rhymes. This pioneering anthology brings together more than three hundred lyrics written over thirty years, from the 'old school' to the 'golden age' to the present day. Rather than aim for encyclopaedic coverage, Bradley and DuBois render through examples the richness and diversity of rap's poetic tradition. They feature both classic lyrics that helped define the genre, including Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five's "The Message" and Eric B. & Rakim's "Microphone Fiend", as well as lesser-known gems like Blackalicious' "Alphabet Aerobics" and Jean Grae's "Hater's Anthem." Both a fan's guide and a resource for the uninitiated, "The Anthology of Rap" showcases the inventiveness and vitality of rap's lyrical art. The volume also features an overview of rap poetics and the forces that shaped each period in rap's historical development, as well as a foreword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an afterword by Common. Enter the Anthology to experience the full range of rap's artistry and discover a rich poetic tradition hiding in plain sight.

Lots of mistakes in the lyrics - sloppy transcriptions taken from the internet
4. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Unfortunately, I bought this book before I read the article by Slate magazine (available to read online, the article is called "Fact-Check the Rhyme") which mentions that there are lots of mistakes in the transcriptions and goes through a number of big ones which jumped out at the writer. These mistakes range from getting names wrong, to not understanding the slang being used, to simply getting certain words wrong.
The mistakes listed there are the EXACT same mistakes in the online site - "Original Hip Hop Lyric Archive" which has been going for years and is riddled with mistakes as it relies on listeners to add lyrics.
Having exactly the same mistakes suggests that the transcriptions for the Anthology were pulled directly from that site, mistakes and all.
In the comments to the Slate article, one of the editors of the book admits there are loads of mistakes in the Anthology and suggests that later print runs of the book will be more accurate, after readers have sent in corrections and it has been updated. So I guess early buyers like me will be guinea pigs, owning a pretty expensive book full of errors lifted from the internet, while later readers will benefit when the "correct version" is finally available.
One of the reasons I ordered the official, Yale anthology is because I thought it would be scrupulously checked, otherwise I could have stuck to reading the lyrics on the internet at that archive. You might expect a very small number of minor mistakes, but not loads of glaringly obvious ones which change the meaning of the lyrics.
I did not expect it to just be a printed-out version of the erroneous online stuff.
Seeing as this anthology will most likely be used on courses, studying HipHop prose, then it's sad that in a lot of cases students will be studying mis-transcribed lyrics.
It's a slight to the rappers in many cases (albeit unintentionally) because they've used clever references or devices of language which have been rendered as just random gibberish.
This reflects badly on Yale, as they have an academic standard to adhere to. The anthology lists a long line of people on their rap "advisory board," though it seems none of them knew enough about HipHop or cared enough to check over the Anthology to correct the many obvious mistakes in the text.
It's best to wait until they bring out a thoroughly corrected version of this, as you don't want to be stuck with this version with all the mistakes from the internet in it.

Provocative Scholarly Feat!
1. Dezember 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I applaud the work of Bradley and DuBois in bringing this anthology to life - it was needed! I'm fascinated by its polarizing nature - people absolutely love it or hate it.
Most of the criticism is focused on accuracy of transcriptions, which the editors address in the anthology. The text is not perfect, nor should we expect it to be if we recognize the breadth of this work. This should not be seen as a final statement of fact, but an evolving window into an under-appreciated culture.
When you move beyond the letter and fully grasp the spirit of the anthology, you see an accessible toolkit for understanding rap. Importantly, it pays homage to many rappers that have faded from consciousness. Indeed, I would say that some of the rappers whose lyrics have been debated over accuracy have benefited greatly. At its core, this anthology is homage. Similarly, those artists that have not been included have been the focus of renewed interest.
I'm grateful for this collection - it's been a wonderful trip down memory lane, giddily recalling when I first heard many of the records.
And for those that didn't grow up with this poetry, I'm happy to see the interest in rap the anthology is generating.

I've never seen a flame war started over a book before!
30. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'm shocked at how many people have ganged up against this book, far beyond any realistic or even rational criticism. I'm guessing the book review in Slate magazine started a particularly nasty argument in the Fray which has since spilled over onto Amazon. I can only guess a large enough portion of people who read that review and participated in that flame war didn't let off enough steam, so they came over to Amazon to do a "hatchet job" on the book's rating.
Nearly all of the criticisms levelled at this book are accusing it of being "rife with errors". Allow me to put things in a bit more realistic of a perspective: There are 26 well-documented errors out of almost a thousand entries. I don't know about you, but my definition of "rife with errors" requires a little more than that.
But I digress. Let's talk about the book.
Bradley and DuBois have gone to great lengths to frame rap itself in a literary and historical context within American culture. Through hundreds of examples, they have managed to effectively create a chronological history of the evolution of rap as a lyrical medium since the very first rappers started rhyming over disco beats.
It's telling that all of the negative reviews of this book come down to nitpicking over transcription of lyrics. I can only take this as proof that hip hop culture has aged enough to where people can become so emotionally involved over the slightest variation in words. I would argue that this makes the case that much stronger for a need to give rap the thorough historical documentation and academic study it deserves. In that way, I doubt you'll find anywhere a more thorough and insightful book on rap lyrics that this.
