Midwest Book Review
A strident, much-needed "wake-up"
call
The Architects Of Rap:
Poison In Our Culture by Les Taha is a stinging, articulate, timely
denouncement of the negative influences that rap and hip-hop culture
and lyrics have on African Americans today, ranging from its portrayal
of stereotyped violence, to promiscuity, to criminality among black
people, to its glorification of despicable and inhumane behavior.
Pen-and-ink cartoons add a satirical punch to this strident, much-needed
"wake-up" call concerning how prejudice and poisonous
values influence our impressionable youth through the guise of rap
and hip-hop.
