Know What I Mean?

I went a lecture & book signing this evening for Dr. Michael Eric Dyson and got a copy of his new book Know What I Mean?: Reflections on Hip Hop.

It was a very engaging lecture as Dr. Dyson touched on feminism, mysogyny, homophobia, the Black church, the word "nigger", and other topics within the context of hip hop. I got a copy of the book and got it signed. I wanted to ask Dr. Dyson a question or two but he had to catch a flight and there were a lot of people of line. I've reading the book so far and it's good reading. It's written as an album on paper using the longer interview to discuss hip hop and society. I'm still in the first chapter so I can't really speak to much more than that.

Some of what I've read so far and what Dr. Dyson said in his lecture has stimulated some of my more latent thoughts on hip hop and myself. In particular he discusses authenticity which is an issue I've grappled with throughout my life. I'm not sure how to articulate some of my thoughts on it right now. I'll have to think on it more.

Go buy the book
