What is the real hip hop? To whom does hip hop belong? For what constructive purposes can hip hop be put to use? These are three key questions posed by hip hop activists in 'Hip Hop Versus Rap', which explores the politics of cultural authenticity, ownership, and uplift in London's post-hip hop scene. The book is an ethnographic study of the identity, role, formation, and practices of the organic intellectuals that populate and propagate this 'conscious' hip hop milieu. Turner provides an insightful examination of the work of artists and practitioners who use hip hop 'off-street' in the spheres of youth work, education, and theatre to raise consciousness and to develop artistic and personal skills.
