Abstract "A profound meditation on Hip Hop's transformative power, In the hour of chaos takes us deep into the mind of the genre's most unabashed revolutionary. This book is not an autobiography. It's not a manifesto. It's a deep investigation into Hip Hop and rap music by searing lyricist and global music icon, Chuck D of Public Enemy. Engaging with some of the world's leading thinkers on Hip Hop, 'Professor Chuck' sets out on a journey that celebrates 50 years of Hip Hop's legacy and charts paths forward for its future. Exploring the intersections of Hip Hop with Black radicalism and feminism, media and technology, globalization and politics, and more, this curated collection shows the power of culture and the arts to not only bring people together, but to bring about political change in this current 'hour of chaos'."-- Provided by publisher.
