"[T]his is a helpful book in explaining the appeal of hip hop and rap across the world to those who are dispossessed and have no other voice. It would certainly gain a wider readership beyond the academic community as many of the essays consciously eschew an academic framework which helps the reader to appreciate the political and social aspects of rap not only in the United States but across the world." -Dr. Lee Sartain, University of Portsmouth, The Vinyl Ain't Final, is the latest attempt in the still growing field of hip hop studies to widen the scope of these discussions, amplifying this deep concern for the political to a global context. It is an insightful but largely humourless book, and therein lies the problem. If the exercise of deploring the bullet riddled 50 Cent's perforation as a marketing hook seems tired in a local context, consider what happens when we take these irresolvable questions to the world's stage. This book flits back and forth between Tanzanian national politics and local 'bongo flava' rappers with ease., This book explores hip hop as a global phenomenon' begins the blurb -reassuring if you're unfortunate enough to reside in those far off places where the residue of Grandmaster Flash's leather pants hasn't yet arrived., The early chapters of the book show how at street level a combination of low economic status, poor education and a racist criminal justice system keeps young talented MCs excluded from the music business. Success stories like artist 50 Cent with his thug to riches story emerge as the exception to the rule. Meanwhile at the top end, even the strong visibility of black entrepreneurship is still beholden to their larger, white owned major labels and distributors. In spite of this, for so many young people in the US, hip hop remains a creative postive force. Among the appalling homicide rates of Oakland and the Bay Area, we find a culturally diverse hip hop scene. In Hawaii - as in so many places around the world, hip hop provides the language of resistance for native Hawaiins fighting for self determination., 'Shows how at street level a combination of low economic status, poor education and a racist criminal justice system keeps young talented MCs excluded from the music business'
