Stanley Crouch uses his experience as a columnist, novelist, essayist, and television commentator to explore the subject of authenticity in music, writing, and theater, as well as political venues.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book should be required reading in every American High School. It exposes the fraud waged by a greedy, worthless music industry, MTV, BET and the talentless gang members who play no instruments and sign one-sided (in favor of the label) recording contracts. Rap is social poison that is tainting American youth and Stanley Crouch brilliantly exposes it.

I have little to add to the given product description. While his views may not be popular, his observations on how culture, race and stereotypes emerge and influence one another is cogent and worth a read, especially if you think that the issues of race are of little importance to the future of our society.
