Description
"The book tracks the parallel rise, from 1986 to 1996, of gangsta rap--a subgenre some artists preferred to call "reality rap"--and "reality-based" television programming, especially shows such as "Cops," which frequently depicted young black men being arrested. The book also discusses how rap stars have used the media's obsession with their criminal pasts in their art, collapsing the distinction between performance and reality"--,Provided by publisher.
