Book by Adam Bradley
Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop is a book by literary scholar Adam Bradley that looks at hip hop music's literary techniques and argues "that we must understand rap as poetry or miss the vanguard of poetry today".[1] The Dallas Morning News described it by saying, "You'll find Yeats and Frost alongside Nas and...Wu-Tang Clan, together forming a discussion on meter and accent, scansion, and slant rhymes".[2] Bradley is an associate professor of English at the University of Colorado at Boulder, with a PhD in English from Harvard University.[3][2]
