Reviews

Women Rapping Revolution covers a lot of ground in a relatively condensed space, but it doesn't lack for information or thoughtful analysis. On top of all this, they also manage to make it a very accessible book. Farrugia and Hay do an excellent job of not only getting you to understand all of the different factors in play within the hip hop scene in Detroit, but they'll get the wheels spinning in your head as you consider all of the factors in play in your own city. * Scratched Vinyl *
