Hip hop and the law

Abstract
"What is important to understanding American law? What is important to understanding hip hop? Renowned academics, practitioners, commentators, and performance artists have answered these two questions independently. However, understanding hip hop's intersection with the law has long escaped critical reflection. Hip Hop and the Law merges the two cultural giants of law and rap music and demonstrates their relationship at the convergence of Legal Consciousness, Politics, and Hip Hop Studies. This book is a powerful resource for learning, discussing, and teaching the nuances of hip hop's relationship with the law. Topics include Crime and Justice, Critical Race Theory, Mass Incarceration, Gender, and American Law, including Constitutional Law, Intellectual Property Law, Corporate Law, Criminal Law, and Real Property Law"--Unedited summary from book cover.
