520    From its beginnings in hip hop culture, the dense rhythms 
       and aggressive lyrics of rap music have made it a 
       provocative fixture on the American cultural landscape. In
       Black Noise: Rap Music and Black Culture in Contemporary 
       America, Tricia Rose, described by the New York Times as a
       "hip hop theorist," takes a comprehensive look at the 
       lyrics, music, cultures, themes, and styles of this highly
       rhythmic, rhymed storytelling and grapples with the most 
       salient issues and debates that surround it. Assistant 
       Professor of Africana Studies and History at New York 
       University, Tricia Rose sorts through rap's multiple 
       voices by exploring its underlying urban cultural politics,
       particularly the influential New York City rap scene, and 
       discusses rap as a unique musical form in which 
       traditional African-based oral traditions fuse with 
       cutting-edge music technologies. Next she takes up rap's 
       racial politics, its sharp criticisms of the police and 
       the government, and the responses of those institutions. 
       Finally, she explores the complex sexual politics of rap, 
       including questions of misogyny, sexual domination, and 
       female rappers' critiques of men. But these debates do not
       overshadow rappers' own words and thoughts. Rose also 
       closely examines the lyrics and videos for songs by 
       artists such as Public Enemy, KRS-One, Salt N' Pepa, MC 
       Lyte, and L.L. Cool J. and draws on candid interviews with
       Queen Latifah, music producer Eric "Vietnam" Sadler, 
       dancer Crazy Legs, and others to paint the full range of 
       rap's political and aesthetic spectrum. In the end, Rose 
       observes, rap music remains a vibrant force with its own 
       aesthetic, "a noisy and powerful element of contemporary 
       American popular culture which continues to draw a great 
       deal of attention to itself" [Publisher description].
