"As one of the most influential and popular genres of the last three decades, rap
has cultivated a mainstream audience and become a multimillion-dollar industry by
promoting highly visible and often controversial representations of blackness. Sounding
Race in Rap Songs argues that rap music allows us not only to see but also to hear
how mass-mediated culture engenders new understandings of race. The book traces the
changing sounds of race across some of the best-known rap songs of the past thirty-five
years, combining song-level analysis with historical contextualization to show how
these representations of identity depend on specific artistic decisions, such as those
related to how producers make beats. Each chapter explores the process behind the
production of hit songs by musicians including Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five,
The Sugarhill Gang, Run-D.M.C., Public Enemy, N.W.A., Dr. Dre, and Eminem. This series
of case studies highlights stylistic differences in sound, lyrics, and imagery, with
musical examples and illustrations that help answer the core question: can we hear
race in rap songs? Integrating theory from interdisciplinary areas, this book will
resonate with students and scholars of popular music, race relations, urban culture,
ethnomusicology, sound studies, and beyond"--Provided by publisher
