In It s Bigger Than Hip Hop, M. K. Asante, Jr. looks at the rise of a generation that sees beyond the smoke and mirrors of corporatemanufactured hip hop and is building a movement that will change not only the face of pop culture, but the world.Asante, a young firebrand poet, professor, filmmaker, and activist who represents this movement, uses hip hop as a springboard for a larger discussion about the urgent social and political issues affecting the posthiphop generation, a new wave of youth searching for an understanding of itself outside the selfdestructive, corporate hiphop monopoly. Through insightful anecdotes, scholarship, personal encounters, and conversations with youth across the globe as well as icons such as Chuck D and Maya Angelou, Asante illuminates a shift that can be felt in the crowded spokenword joints in postKatrina New Orleans, seen in the rise of youthled organizations committed to social justice, and heard around the world chanting It s bigger than hip hop.
