Language, Rhythm and Sound: Black Popular Cultures into the Twenty-First Century

Rating:
Summary: The musical side of black english
Review: While this book gives plenty of examples of musical black english uses, it does not tackle the ideas of the differences of black english from standard english. As it is subtitled, "Black popular cultures into the twenty-first century," culture radically pervades the book. The chapters on rap and young girls games were fascinating!
