Dr. Kelton Edmonds was my advisor for this project and I appreciate him helping me to study hip- hop. Dr. Susan Jasko was my advisor at California University of Pennsylvania since 2005 and encouraged me to stay in the Honors Program. Dr. Drew McGukin had the initiative to bring me to the Honors Program in the first place. I wanted to acknowledge everybody in the Honors Department (Dr. Ed Chute, Dr. Erin Mountz, Mrs. Kim Orslene, and Dr. Don Lawson). Doing a Red Hot Chili Peppers project in 2008 for Mr. Max Gonano was also very important. I would be remiss if I left out the encouragement of my family and my friends, who kept assuring me things would work out when I was never certain.

  • Adam Bradley, Book of Rhymes
    MediaTropes eJournal Vol III, No 1 (2011): 151–153 ISSN 1913-6005 Adam Bradley. Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop. New York: Basic Civitas Books, 2009. 272 pages; paper $16.95. ISBN 978-0-4650-0347-1. “Rap is poetry” (xii). To any avid fan of the genre, it is a statement that seems obvious. The words could easily be the musings of a listener first introduced to the art form, not the focal point of an entire work of contemporary criticism. Yet in Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop, Adam Bradley’s primary focus is this very point, the recognition of traditional poetic elements within rap music. With the global cultural and economic phenomenon that hip hop has become, it is easy to forget that the style of music is barely thirty years old, that scholarly criticism of it has existed for only half of that time. When viewed within this relatively new arena of scholarship, the importance of Bradley’s text is clear. He attempts to lay the foundation for future work, to provide a formal language of lyrical and performative analysis. It is for this achievement that we must recognize Book of Rhymes as a landmark text, despite the somewhat surface treatment it applies to its subject. Bradley divides his work into two sections, beginning with the formal or structural elements of rap music, namely, “Rhythm, Rhyme and Wordplay,” and ending with the thematic or representational components, classified as “Style, Storytelling and Signifying.” The first section is the decisively stronger of the two, based around carefully chosen examples and meticulously broken down lyrics.
