Reviews
'This vivacious and edifying publication on hip hop language and linguistics has the energetic and dynamic elements of its subject matter.' Journal of Folklore Research 'As intimidating as linguistic scholarship can be to the non-linguist-centered readers, Alim writes with such clarity that the technical aspects of linguistic study are relayed sensibly and not overshadowed by academic jargon or guild-centered writing.' Journal of Folklore Research 'Overall, Roc the Mic Right succeeds in proving that Hip Hop Linguistics (HHLx) is a valuable field of study, teaching us not only about the art form itself, but also about life, culture, and language in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Furthermore, the passion that Alim and those he quotes have for hip-hop makes this a fun book, even for a lay audience.' - Nancy Effinger Wilson, PHAROAHE MONCH, Hip Hop Artist Alim's work is a beautiful thing. A couple of professors have done studies on pieces I've wrote, but I believe that in Alim's pieces he not only studies what's being said but the technique and agility of how it's being said. This work is important to me because that's what I take pride in. The Hip Hop community really appreciates the scholarly work that he's doing. JOHN BAUGH, Professor of Education and Linguistics, Stanford University Taking a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the language of Hip Hop Culture and providing critical, penetrating analyses, H Samy Alim has produced a text that will be central to both Hip Hop Studies and the various disciplines he employs to deconstruct Hip Hop culture, language, politics, and aesthetics. This riveting, readable treatise on language, life and culture in the Hip Hop Nation does more than advance our knowledge of the global growth and influence of Hip Hop: it does so through an eloquent juxtaposition of street vernacular and scholarly prose that defies intellectual comparison
