Doug Henwood Talks

McWhorter quoting Rose on pg. 318, "Rappers are constantly taking

dominant discursive fragments and throwing them into relief, destabilizing hegemonic discourses and attempting to legitimate counter-hegemonic interpretrations. Rap’s contestations are part of a polyvocal black cultural discourse engaged in in discursive ‘wars of position’ within and against dominant discourses.” (whew!) ’sez McWhorter.

Dunno about all that, but a lot of it sounds pretty good.
