Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes

Thanks for this!!! I love PBS... I took a few Womens Studies courses to take a breather from science classes and labs and did a paper on the juxtaposition of Feminism and HipHop. It was a ton of fun.

I did a paper last semester related to this topic. It's still a work in progress. I hope to get it published in the fall. I'm excited about seeing this doc, as I am ready for a reform in hip-hop.

That's so awesome!! Deltas are doing it! Like a previous poster said this is such a timely if not long-overdue discourse in our community.

Also when I was doing research for this paper, she and some additional authors were collecting submissions for an anthology of work about feminism and hip hop. Its going in my "black feminism library".

I found this link on Amazon.

Met Joan Morgan when she came to speak at my alma mater, and me and my BSA execs brought her back for our hip hop summit... she rocked teh mic hard! "When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost" is a good book
