"Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop"
At once the most lucrative, popular, and culturally oppositional musical force in the United States, hip hop demands the kind of interpretation Imani Perry provides here: criticism engaged with this vibrant musical form on its own terms. A scholar and a fan, Perry considers the art, politics, and culture of hip hop through an analysis of song lyrics, the words of the prophets of the hood. Recognizing prevailing characterizations of hip hop as a transnational musical form, Perry advances a powerful argument that hip hop is first and foremost black American music. At the same time, she contends that many studies have shortchanged the aesthetic value of rap by attributing its form and content primarily to socioeconomic factors. Her innovative analysis revels in the artistry of hip hop, revealing it as an art of innovation, not deprivation.
Perry offers detailed readings of the lyrics of many hip hop artists, including Ice Cube, Public Enemy, De La Soul, krs-One, OutKast, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Tupac Shakur, Lil' Kim, Biggie Smalls, Nas, Method Man, and Lauryn Hill. She focuses on the cultural foundations of the music and on the form and narrative features of the songs—the call and response, the reliance on the break, the use of metaphor, and the recurring figures of the trickster and the outlaw. Perry also provides complex considerations of hip hop's association with crime, violence, and misogyny. She shows that while its message may be disconcerting, rap often expresses brilliant insights about existence in a society mired in difficult racial and gender politics. Hip hop, she suggests, airs a much wider, more troubling range of black experience than was projected during the civil rights era. It provides a unique public space where the sacred and the profane impulses within African American culture unite.

As you grow older and wiser, you will have less time for people who are myopic, selfish, and deceptive. That has been a major problem in many relationships. Some of us can blame inadequate feelings about ourselves (stemming from our SELF HATRED of anything Afrikan). But at the same time, we must recognize the DEHUMANIZATION TACTICS that has been embedded in our DNA by the monstrous society. It is absolutely MANDATORY that some of us can realize that we can't LOVE SOMEONE until we LOVE OURSELVES. With those thoughts in mind, choose your partners wisely and remember that even people who look good to you can be MEAN and SELFISH. It is my firm opinion that YOU CAN'T GROW into your TRUE SELF by being around these type of people too long. Avoid their vexatious spirit and wish them well when you leave them. Dr. Elijah Grant.
As I look back on my life, I see with my REAL EYES that I have exhibited personality traits indicative of a person with psychic abilities, a keen mind, determination, knowledge-seeking, non-conformist, persistence of purpose, perfection, the path of solitude, analysis, contemplation, sacred vows, spiritual awareness and awakening. I wake up each day determine to make a difference in this physical existence.
If I had to describe my path and constant growth in several sentences, I would choose the description below:
ELDER
- One who has successfully passed through the various trials, temptations, and battles inherent in the initiation process, and can truly “walk and work” in both worlds, and act as a reliable guide. One who guides and initiates the next generation.
- Holds the culture’s connection to Sacred History, ancestral wisdom.
Some would call me an "OLD SOUL."
An addendum:
From Prophetically Enlightened Elder Dr. E.
"Spiritual Survival During These Devastating Times."
