Description

Despite its global popularity, rap has received little scholarly attention in terms of its poetic features, perhaps because rap is so demonstrative and powerful, or because poetry scholars have been slow to recognize rap’s poetic worth, or uncertainty about its legitimacy as a form of poetry. Rhymes in the Flow systematically analyzes the poetics (rap beats, rhythms, rhymes, verse and song structures) of some 6,000 lines of rap lyrics to provide new insights on rap artistry and performance. While most scholarship on rap has focused on its historical and cultural dimensions, Rhymes in the Flow traces rap’s deepest roots and stylistic evolution-from Anglo-Saxon poetry to Lil Wayne-and contextualizes its complex poetics.The book is a collaboration between two rap poetry aficionados separated in age by fifty years. Poetry professor Macklin Smith and his undergraduate student Aurko Joshi discovered in a University of Michigan poetry course their shared passion for the sounds and beats of hip hop and have been collaborating ever since. Through their efforts, Rhymes in the Flow shows how rap, at times disparaged as an art form, is in fact a more complex and complicated, versatile and nuanced genre than has been previously appreciated. Review "Smith and Joshi deliver an extensive discussion of rap flow and flow variants nearly spanning the duration of rap's existence. The author pair expertly combine deep knowledge of historical poetic forms and statistical analysis." -CHOICE --D. V. Moskowitz "CHOICE" (8/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)"Rhymes in the Flow is the product of great learning and greater passion. By turns playful and provocative, incisive and irreverent, the book excavates some of rap's mysteries: how MCs flow to a beat, how the art of MC-ing has evolved over the years, how rap styles are born. The authors' passion is apparent, as is the impressive range of their research. Smith and Joshi have written a hip-hop book like no other." --Adam Bradley, author of Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop About the Author Macklin Smith is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Michigan. Aurko Joshi is Product Manager at Collibra.
