While the concept of The Speech is interesting, the essays eventually become redundant. I guess there's only so much you can say about one speech, no matter how important it is. The same points were repeated from essay to essay. The role of Reverend Wright, the idea of a "post-racial" America, and the media's focus on throwing the grandmother "under the bus" were brought up again and again.

In other words, it's not meant as fodder for a case against Hip Hop, but rather an appeal and critique to those inside it on why elements need to change.

Very interesting perspectives, and a delight to see multiple reactions to one speech. As other reviewers have mentioned, it does get repetitive at times, but as a History major this is a book I will hang on to forever.
