Rhyme's Challenge: Hip Hop, Poetry, and Contemporary Rhyming Culture

David Caplan

4.9/5 (20481 ratings)

Description:Rhyme's Challenge examines hip-hop's central verbal technique. At a time when print-based poets generally dismiss formal rhyme as old-fashioned and bookish, hip-hop artists show that the technique accommodates the most conspicuous conditions and symbols of contemporary life in a most suggestive manner: its products, technologies, and personalities. Instead of employing rhyme to maintain distance from contemporary culture, hip-hop artists characteristically use the technique to evoke the era's distinctive features. Their rhymes couple new inflections and objects of desire: "Escalade" and "got it made," "teenager" and "pager," and "bring us closer" and "a Halle Berry poster." Claiming as their own the very technique that contemporary print-based poets largely abandon, hip-hop artists show how various cultures and languages inspire and inform each other, as when they rhyme barrio slang with English, and the new identities that nicknames assert with the histories that place names mark.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
