Rap as literacy: A genre analysis of hip hop ciphers
Newman, Michael. "Rap as literacy: A genre analysis of hip-hop ciphers."Text 25.3 (2005): 399-436.
Rap is the best known and most widely practiced of the four elements— forms of artistic expression—of Hip-Hop, the others being graffiti art (a.k.a. writing), break dancing (a.k.a. b-boying), and DJing (a.k.a. turntablism). This cultural movement emerged in the wake of the fractures provoked by the civil rights struggle in the moral and legal foundations of the centuries-old U.S. racial caste system.
